My preferred approach to teaching French is that is should be fun, stressless and focused on giving students a level of fluency so that they have the confidence to handle a conversation. While reading and writing is important, being able to communicate in a foreign language is from far, in my view, the most satisfying and rewarding aspect. My lessons are non-formal and usually based on magazine articles, current stories covering a wide spectrum of topics from entertainment to sport and breaking news. For those with homework who need a more rigid structure, we can also base the lessons on text books for a more theoretical approach.

I’ve been meeting with Florence regularly for over a year now, and our French conversation sessions are a highlight of my week. She’s patient, thoughtful, and so easy to talk to—our conversations are always engaging, meaningful, and real. We talk about things that matter to both of us, and I never feel like I’m “just practicing.” Thanks to Flo, my oral comprehension has improved so much, and I feel way more confident speaking. If I could give her 10 stars, I would! Merci beaucoup, Flo !

Flo is a wonderful conversationalist. She invites you into her world which makes for an authentic experience while speaking la lange française. She is friendly and genuine and lets one relax during the conversation which seems to pass way too quickly.
