Bonjour! I’m Golnaz, a certified French teacher (14 + years) specializing in exam prep (DELF/TEF/TCF) and conversational fluency.

All resources are carefully adapted to each student's level to ensure effective learning. I consistently speak French during lessons—whether with beginners or advanced learners—to help develop listening and speaking skills from the start. I simplify complex topics to make them easier to understand and more accessible. I also enjoy preparing students for international French exams and have specialized resources designed specifically for that purpose.

Golnaz is an excellent teacher. I've had a few French lessons with her now and am very happy. She is patient, attentive, friendly, and comes to lessons well prepared with materials to work on (she also provides short homework items, which are great). Moreover, her feedback is perfectly pitched: assertive enough to ensure mistakes are corrected and pronunciation worked on, without being overwhelming or discouraging. She is a kind and helpful teacher; I highly recommend her.

She didn’t seem to know how to use the online tools properly, so she conducted the lesson by showing images on her phone and sending messages from her phone. The teaching method was very simple and did not take into account engaging a young child at all.

She is a perfect teacher. So far I've had a few French lessons with her and I am feeling very good about my French already. She is friendly, kind and patient. She provides materials for teaching which are very useful and beneficial. In addition, what I find very helpful is that she corrects my pronunciation in French which can be a difficult part of learning French. But she does it without being discouraging. I am going to continue my French lessons with Golnaz and I highly recommend her.
