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!
