Yoann montebrun

Yoann is an excellent and fun teacher. He is always fully focused on the lesson, remembers your strenghts and weaknesses and, in addition to giving and correcting assignments he always uses the subject of the assignment to segue into further conversation (but is always willing to talk about ANYTHING you want) and improve your speaking and understanding REAL French.

Today was my first lesson with Yoann. I'm a beginner. He ask me a series of questions (all in french) and ask me to read a short text in order to understand my current level and tailored the class and the methods to it. He showed me a lot of online resources as well as books that we are going to use to improve on the 4 habilities of the language. He was extremely kind and competent. I'm very happy with this first class and look forward to continue learning with him. Hoy fue mi primera lección con Yoann. Soy principiante en el francés. Me hizo una serie de preguntas (todas en francés) y me pidió que leyera un texto breve para comprender mi nivel actual y adaptar la clase y los métodos a él. Me mostró muchos recursos en línea, así como libros que usaremos para mejorar las 4 habilidades del idioma. Fue extremadamente amable y competente. ¡Estoy muy feliz con esta primera clase y espero seguir aprendiendo con él!

Enthusiastic! Showed me his materials. He speaks fast but I think I got some of it. :) I guess that's part of the practice. Merci.

We - mainly my twins (turning 10) and I - have been taking lessons with Yoann for close to 4 years. We probably took more than 1,000 classes so far. Currently, my kids follow the whole syllabus of French school curriculum with Yoann. That includes French grammar/reading/phenology, math and geography. They read Harry Potter in French for fun. I boast this because I want to highlight Yoann’ ability. It’s a miracle that my kids that were born in the US to non-French speaking parents to have fluency in French. All the classes were online, and it takes so much soft skills to connect with 6 year olds online to be able to teach them. It’s extremely rare to meet someone this decent and dedicated. He is very very knowledgeable in his craft - teaching and pedagogy. It’s clear that teaching is his vocation and passion. He’s cultured, humble, emotionally intelligent, intellectually curious, disciplined, punctual, adapts to different learning styles and professional. He is THE best teacher.

My 7 year old enjoys her lessons with Yoann. He is very prepared and organized and has a wealth of resources. Highly recommended!

We are so grateful for my son’s French teacher this year. His friendly and encouraging teaching style has made a big difference in how my son feels about learning French. He takes the time to explain things clearly and connects lessons to everyday topics, which makes the language feel more relatable and easier to understand. It’s been wonderful to see my son grow more confident and interested in learning French. Thank you for creating such a positive and supportive learning environment!
