Alicia Grout

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.

I am so happy to have found Alicia! I have just finished my introductory lesson and I plan to stick with her going forward. She is perfect for me: motivating, multi-faceted and curious about others. She gives me ample room to express myself and helps me when I get stuck. I feel I will be learning loads as I progress with her. She is the right fit for me: fun, down to earth, with a beautiful manner about her. I was so happy after my lesson and would highly recommend her to anybody wanting to improve their French in a fun and relaxed way. They say that language flows when you are relaxed. I certainly felt this was the case with Alicia!

bon courage pour la préparation du ton voyage :)

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.

Alicia est une très bonne prof, et tellement sympa. La leçon a passée très vite avec elle, parce que la conversation était très intéressante et drôle. J'ai hâte a la prochaine séance 😁

Elle a été très accueillante, et je vais certainement continuer !
