Today was my 1st lesson with Alicia. It was FUN. Alicia is fluent in French, German, Spanish and English — so we talked in those 3 languages that I am studying ( = Fr/Ger/Sp.) At my choosing — the lesson was conversational about any topic that came into our minds. It was challenging to me (as I requested) to switch back and forth between 3 languages — but Alicia is VERY receptive, encouraging, patient and enjoyable to talk to — and I look forward to future sessions with her. THANK YOU!

Alicia is amazing! She's engaging, dynamic, and friendly, and from the moment we started talking, adapted her French to a level that would be clear but also usefully challenging. She picks a theme for each lesson and comes prepared with a series of fascinating questions that can be answered in different ways. They always lead to wonderful discussions and push my vocabulary and my ability to articulate both concrete and abstract ideas, which I really appreciate. Alicia has lived and traveled in many different cultures, and she brings these experiences to every conversation. Insofar as one goal of language learning is cultural exchange, Alicia knocks it out of the park by bringing so much thoughtfulness and experience to every conversation... and that's in addition to her many other merits as a language teacher. There's never a dull moment with Alicia, and I highly recommend learning with her.

VERY Patient !! :)

You are in good hands with Alicia. She is very relateable and can adapt to any level. I started taking her as a beginner and now I am an intermmidate french speaker. There is a good balance between professionalism and relatability. I find this important for beginners because you want someone who has a balance and isn't too extreme in either area. She is very patient and will listen to you express yourself; if you make errors, its ok... She will wait until you are finished and kindly make corrections which is important! You want to know when you aren't saying things the right way.

Alicia is an excellent tutor. She really puts you at ease and there is never any awkward silences, she naturally asks you more questions to help you expand on topics and to practice your French. She is open and kind and we always have interesting conversations about lots of different topics. I've tried a few different tutors on here but Alicia is definitely the best and one that I will continue to return to.

Just first intro lesson today to discus Tactics and parler un peu français
