I think Conrad could be a great teacher for someone at maybe intermediate or higher because he obviously has a lot of knowledge of the French language, but I don't think he's very suitable for beginners. He includes far too much in a lesson and expects you to just take it all in, then gets easily frustrated with mistakes. He said things like "you're not even trying" and "why is this hard for you? You have the same sound in English" when I was struggling to pronounce something, which isn't great for confidence - especially considering I have only just started learning French in the last week. I pre-warned Conrad via messages that I was a complete beginner and asked if that was okay, and he said that was fine because he teaches all levels, but I would definitely recommend going elsewhere if you are a complete beginner like me. In my first lesson while he was screen-sharing Conrad also was doing other things during the lesson like checking his emails.
