Johann

I always leave a lesson with Johann feeling good about my progress and encouraged to keep working hard. Each lesson is well structured, the resources used are excellent, and he has a great sense of humour. I was nervous when starting to learn French as it's very easy to feel self-concious and silly when you don't know what you're doing. Johann always makes the process light-hearted enough that you have a lot of fun, but at the same time offers the depth required to really make excellent progress. His English is outstanding, probably even better than my own. This allows him to give good contextual comparisons for what the meanings of words and sentences translate to in English. It's not easy to decide which teacher may be right for you when first starting your journey on iTalki, but I strongly suggest using one of your trials on Johann. I really cannot recommend him enough.

Johann is truly a one-of-a-kind teacher. Patient, kind, enthusiastic and empathetic; he is someone who tailors every lesson to your needs and is most encouraging. Learning a foreign language can at first seem like you are stepping into a dark forest, but with Johann’s thoughtful guidance, it feels more like a pleasant walk in the park. His lessons are always efficacious and delightful. Merci Johann, tu es extraordinaire! :)

Very helpful and give useful advice.

Another fun and interesting lesson with Johann. He is very understanding and helpful and really knows how to keep the conversation going. Each class I take with him goes right to the last second. He makes himself available and provides good resources and helpful advice that allows me to discover new and interesting things about the French language and culture. If you're thinking about it, definitely schedule a class with Johann; you won't be disappointed.

I've been taking lessons with Johann for a year, and it's been an excellent experience. His lessons are well-structured, engaging, and tailored to my goals and level. He is patient, encouraging, and explains things clearly. I've seen real progress in both my speaking skills and confidence. I highly recommend him to anyone serious about improving their French.

Johann has successfully taught both my children for GCSE French in the UK. My eldest son was struggling with his French until he started his lessons with Johann, and so we also signed up my younger son, who has just taken his exams. He said "Johann helped me to progress my French and exam technique and gain additional marks because of the work we did together". Fingers-crossed for another top grade. Thank you Johann!!!
