What working professionals say
"I share the positive views of other reviewers. Andréi is an exceptional teacher and a truly excellent person. I used to work in the US Department of State and now work at the United Nations. I needed to improve my ability to converse and have seen marked improvement. Andréi is a native of France who speaks French of a high level and pays great attention to proper pronunciation. I give him the highest recommendation."
"Andréi works with my fourteen year old weekly. He is an excellent language teacher, and she really enjoys her lessons with him. Her knowledge of grammar and her ability to converse in French has really accelerated since she started. He is very knowledgeable about teaching and learning languages and very engaging — which is necessary when teaching teens. I most highly recommend him. His lessons are a very valuable investment in my child's education."
"Mathieu has been teaching me French for about 3 years. He is first and foremost an intelligent, well-educated and open-minded person with whom discussing topics from theater, film, literature and history to science, current affairs and sports makes learning French fun and intellectually stimulating. Mathieu is also very patient, always on time and flexible with the schedule. I highly recommend his excellent French tutoring."
