Alicia Grout

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.

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!

Alicia is very productive during the sessions

Alicia is a positive teacher. She explained how her lessons were, introduced herself anda also ask questions. The class was very interesting. Merci Alice!

Just had my first lesson with Alicia. We had a nice discussion. She is very interested in what I have to say and very helpful.

I look forward to my lessons with Alicia.
