Emmanuela

Thanks to Emmanuela's skill, patience, and enthusiasm, I have improved my confidence *so much*. I especially love the way she can break down and explain any point of French usage and grammar! The notes she provides after class allow me to give my full focus to the lesson, instead of trying to write down everything. And after almost a year, all these notes have helped me to really see my progress.

Emmanuela has an exceptional talent for teaching languages and brings a lot of enthusiasm to our lessons. She offers me useful tips for avoiding common mistakes and practical methods to incorporate new grammar concepts and vocabulary. I leave each lesson with a clear understanding of how to improve-- and perhaps most important-- the encouragement to keep progressing with French!

I have been studying with Emmamuela weekly for the last nine months, and it has been a delightful time that has helped me enormously with my French. When I started learning with her, I could barely answer a "What's the weather like?" question. Mainly due to my French back then being quite awful, but also because I am naturally shy. Since then, my skills have rapidly improved. Today I speak fluently, as well as watch youtube videos and read books meant for native French speakers as my daily entertainment. She has helped enormously not only by creating a safe environment during classes but also by coherently and patiently walking me through all the different aspects of French. It has given me the confidence and the help needed to improve it at a rapid pace. I am very grateful for her guidance as a teacher. It has truly been an amazing time, and I could not recommend her more!

She has a very good balance of teaching and letting me as the student try to produce. I highly recommend a lesson with Emmanuela!

She was patient, encouraging, easy to talk to, and provided helpful corrections. I would recommend!

Emmanuela covers nuances of the language making very intelligent distinctions between different tones and levels of communication in French. She handles my questions with grace and flexibility. It's always a delight to meet with her.
