Nadine is a fantastic French teacher. She quickly assessed the gaps in my French language learning and prepared interesting lessons to help. She adapted topics to my interests which really helped to keep me motivated. She got the balance right between encouraging me to communicate and ensuring the accuracy of my language. I would highly recommend Nadine as a great teacher who really goes the extra mile to support her students. Thank you Nadine!

As an older learner with a not-so-good memory, I found Nadine very patient. The pace of the lessons was just right as was the amount of “devoirs”(homework). She gave me the option of choosing which topics I wanted to concentrate on and was very good at structuring lessons around those topics. For me, I found the conversational lessons very helpful because an academic treatment of the language is not always best for everyday communication. Knowing how to use the subjunctive does not always help with specifying what one wants in a shop! Over and above that, Nadine is “très gentille”, and has a great sense of humour – both traits which make lessons with her pleasant and rewarding.

Nadine is a very special teacher. She manages to balance between grammar, interactive elements, the book and updated content. I loved having her as my teacher…She made the classes feel personal and adjusted to my needs. She is sweet, funny and at the same time, engaging and professional. I completely recommend her as a French teacher.

I had the pleasure of taking french classes with Nadine for 3 months recently. The classes were to improve my french on many different levels but especially professional. Working at the Office of Tourism in Marseille I had to improve certain things at a fast pace and Nadine was perfect in helping me accomplish this. She was very responsive to my demands but also considered related materials and topics that would reinforce our classes. She demonstrated a very calm approach of teaching french(to an American)that seemed to ease any stress I had about improving my french. I am thankful that I took my classes with Nadine and will take more classes with Nadine when necessary.

I have been taking intensive french lessons, most days, with Nadine for the past four months. Her lessons are always well prepared, with varied materials. Nadine, herself is always bubbly and makes the lessons fun and engaging. She does push you as a student, but that is a good thing and comes from how engaged she is in your learning. Overall, the best French lessons I have taken and I cannot see a point where I will stop.

In 2018 I took an intensive professional 3-month course with Nadine. In these 3 months my beginner level (A2) became an advanced level (C1), which I needed professionaly. The courses were full-time throughout the day. Still Nadine managed to keep it interesting and animated, every day was a pleasure working with her. Always keeping in mind my personal work-related preferenc es. She has a high level of requirement and knows how to keep you focused with a wide variety of exercises. You can definately tell that it's her passion and life goal to let her students reach their goals. She has the experience to define the needs of every specific student. Nadine is someone I highly recommend for all type of courses, professional as well as occasional French speaker.

Nadine is a great teacher. Since the beginning of our course she was always motivated to teach me French. She adapted her classes regarding my needs and helped me a lot to prepare my presentations in French for work and to build my CV and website. I feel teaching French is her passion and having classes with her made me improve a lot!

Nadine is an amazing French teacher. I began lessons with Nadine in 2018 with very little experience, and we continue to meet weekly. Nadine introduces content gradually and has a keen sense of students' strengths and weaknesses. She encourages me to attempt subject matter outside of my comfort zone, which ultimately makes me a better speaker; and Nadine will always correct my mispronunciations in a supportive manner. Her high expectations reflect her belief in my ability to grow as a French speaker and she doesn't shy away from challenging her students because she knows what they need. Lastly, and most importantly, we have a lot of fun during our meetings. If you're taking a trip to a French-speaking country or simply want to brush up on your language skills, Nadine is your girl. She is an excellent teacher and I highly recommend her services.

I have been working with Nadine for more than a year now and feel like I have improved greatly thanks to her style of teaching. Nadine has such a sunny disposition, patience and empathy that every lesson feels like a victory and a step forward, regardless of how stressed or tired I might have been when we started. I feel like I am getting a real understanding for the language, its grammar and particularities while at the same time enjoying myself greatly. We always have a laugh, I am super motivated to do better, because the lessons are close to life, interesting and modern.

I've been taking French classes for many years now (longer than I'd like to admit..) in various shapes and forms (group classes and via Skype). Nadine has been my French teacher for about 4 months now and is definitely one of the best teachers I've come across! She's witty and smart, and always seems to know exactly what I need to work on for my goals. I live in France but work mainly in English, so I don't get that many opportunities to improve my French. I found that group classes after work hours are too tiring, too slow, too inflexible and too time-consuming (counting the travel time to/from the school), so I would eventually cancel them and stop. Though for a class via Skype I can almost always find time, even during a busy workweek. And classes with Nadine are never dull or too slow, so that I can stay sharp and focused on practicing my French!

Nadines French lessons are one of the reasons why my integration to France was successful. With her empathie and dedication, Nadine adapted her lessons to my personal and business needs, she stayed flexible but kept me focused with the result that I can proudly call myself today a fluent French speaker!Thank you for everything!
