Student Testimonials

Cynthia, New York
« I have been taking lessons from Sandrine for over a year and she is the very best of the teachers I have encountered.  Sandrine is always cheerful, encouraging and very upbeat.  I never feel stressed when taking lessons from Sandrine. Learning flows naturally and organically. Of course, there is homework, grammar, pronunciation, reading and writing.  But no matter how tired I feel or on days when my concentration is not at its best, Sandrine is always supportive and never makes me feel stupid.  She is truly a good person who really cares.  You will not find any better teacher than Sandrine. »

Learning a new language can be one of the most intimidating adventures to start, but I am so glad that I found Sandrine at the start of my French studies! After a little over a year of lessons with Sandrine, my French comprehension has improved beyond my original dreams, all thanks to Sandrine’s well-crafted lessons that are always a great mixture of helpful grammar/vocabulary and topics relevant to my interests and current events. Sandrine has always been extremely supportive, flexible, and patient, and any success I have in French is thanks to our lessons together!

I have been taking lessons with Sandrine for over a year.  From Day 1, it was evident that she loves teaching.  Sandrine’s lessons are always well-prepared and the perfect mixture of grammar, writing, listening and speaking.  She keeps the learning interesting using culture, politics, environment – topics which one would talk about in normal life.  Sandrine has a great sense of humour and is supportive and encouraging; she doesn’t let me get away with being lazy, which is exactly what I need.  I consider myself very lucky to have found Sandrine for a teacher and look forward to our lessons each week!​

Sandrine is a wonderful French teacher! She’s patient, kind, friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable of both the French language and the language learning process.  I was a complete beginner when I started taking lessons with Sandrine almost a year ago and in just a couple of months I’ve gone from knowing nothing to having a very solid understanding of French grammar, pronunciation, and even lifestyle. As a foreign languages teacher myself, I know what makes a good teacher and Sandrine is one for sure! I highly recommend Sandrine as a French teacher and am proud to be one of her students!
