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 extremely patient and kind. I feel safe to make every mistake possible, but he doesn't rush to give me answers before I have the chance to think and try my best. I highly recommend him.
