Nicolas

Nicolas is the best language teacher I've ever had. And this includes one's I had in an ivy league university. He's the only one who truly makes language learning fun, when learning a language is truly difficult. I am so terribly shy that dealing with a new person is really hard for me. But after the first few minutes of my first lesson, I knew my extensive research had paid off, that I had chosen the right teacher. Nicolas combines all of the attributes of a great language teacher. He is very professional and manages to correct all of your mistakes while still making you feel good about how you're doing. He is good natured, genuinely interested in anything, very smart, patient, totally reliable and so much more. Both my confidence and my ability to express myself in French have improved immensely. I am very very grateful both to italki for providing such an outstanding opportunity and to Nicolas who, with his understanding and gentle nudges, has made my life even better.

Nicolas is fantastic. He is patient, well-spoken and really knows his stuff. After one class I am very excited and I look forward to learning more with him

Nicolas is very patient, helpful and friendly. He’s a joy to speak with. Merci Nicolas !

Nicolas is an amazing teacher! He’ll make you feel comfortable from the very first minutes of your conversation, which is incredibly important when you are learning and practicing a foreign language. He’s very patient and always ensures that you get your French right. And I can assure you that you’ll have great, chilled and fun time during the class with him. I liked my lessons with Nicolas a lot and you’ll definitely do too, totally recommend him!

Les conversations avec Nicolas sont toujours des instants précieux. C’est tellement naturel de parler avec lui – ce n’est pas du tout comme un vrai cours. Ses questions sont captivantes et invitent à la réflexion – il m’arrive souvent d’y repenser longtemps après nos séances. Le temps passe à toute vitesse, car les échanges ne sont jamais superficiels; ils sont toujours profonds et vraiment enrichissants. On sent qu’il est une personne à la fois intelligente et réfléchie, ce qui rend chaque conversation encore plus intéressante. En plus, il intègre ses corrections linguistiques de manière si naturelle et agréable que je peux les assimiler immédiatement. J’ai hâte à chaque fois de notre prochain cours. Merci, Nicolas, pour ces discussions inspirantes – à bientôt ! :-)

Great first class! Nicolas created an environment where I felt confortable to speaking up and making mistakes, which he corrected right away. I look forward to our next class.
