If you want the best tutor on Itaki, look no further, because Simon is that person ! Through his highly interactive courses, he creates an excellent environment that is conducive to learning. His approach fosters an open dialogue where you can actually speak and build the much needed confidence to speak regardless to your level to your level in French. Most important for me, he allows me to speak without getting impatient, or cutting me after making mistakes which has built mutual respect and an atmosphere for open communication between us. Try a lesson, you won’t be disappointed.

Simon is very approachable, he makes the conversation effortless, even when I forget all the key words in french, he is patient and has a way of making the lesson enjoyable, despite any mistakes. He focuses on conversation, which I think is a more natural method. I never feel pressured or uncomfortable during our lessons and I look forward to our conversations.
