François Normandeau

Francois is an excellent teacher. He explains, listens and guides me in learning French. It's been a wonderful experience and I'm enjoying being challenged regularly in improving my French.

En anglais: Francois is an exceptional, superlative instructor who enjoys generously sharing his love and knowledge of the French language. He is incredibly patient, insightful, motivating, flexible, has a wonderful sense of humor, and intuitively understands and anticipates what the student needs to progress and improve. One of his many excellent methodologies is to empower the student to 'find another word' when a 'bloguer' (block) occurs so that learning, (although challenging) takes place in a comfortable and engaging manner. His group lessons are an extraordinary mix of fun, delightful cognitive exercises, interesting memorization techniques, and tons of sharing and learning French.

Francois is patient and dedicated teacher. Highly appreciate him!

François is an exceptional French tutor. He crafted a personalized learning plan based on my specific goals, significantly improving my learning and retention. His virtual classroom is incredibly welcoming and free of any judgment. This is vital when learning a language, especially online, where it can be easy to feel self-conscious. François understands this and creates an environment where you feel encouraged to try, even if you stumble. His lessons go beyond grammar and vocabulary, offering insights into French and world cultures. He doesn't just give me the definition of a word; he delves into its nuances, its significance in different contexts, and its cultural connotations. He helps me understand not just what a word means, but why it's used and how it connects to the broader tapestry of the French language. If you're looking for a supportive, enriching, and truly effective French tutor, François is the perfect choice to guide your language learning journey.

Excellent!

I really enjoyed my first lesson! He was very patient and didn’t mind repeating himself. Even after divulging my memory issues he was stead fast in making sure it was known that he is willing to modify my lessons and work with me. 10/10 recommend!
