Yann

I have taken many courses with Yann. He is incredibly patient and supportive. He always recognizes my successes. He adapts his lessons to the student. He challenges my limits. I look forward to each and every class.

Yann puts in the extra effort to make his lessons maximally instructive. He uses material he has put together along with external content to augment the absorption of the language both inside and outside of the tutorial sessions. The in-session exercises happen in a conversational setting that very much puts the student at ease, especially during the first lesson (which also happened to be my first real conversation with a native French speaker). Any anxiety I had evaporated immediately. Being at ease while speaking is the first (and probably largest) impediment to fluency, and Yann does a great job nullifying this barrier. My conversational flow has improved markedly over the course of the lessons I've had with him.

Yann is an amazing teacher! Before I started lessons with Yann, I had very little experience with French. Yann is very flexible and tailors the lessons to my needs and to topics relevant to my life and what I am interested in. He uses a variety of methods like grammar exercises, videos, articles, conversation, etc. and always takes your feedback into account to design the next lesson. He is always super supportive and patient. I always enjoy my conversations with Yann! I could not recommend him enough for anyone regardless of whether you are a beginner who needs some help with the basics or someone more advanced who just needs some conversational practice. Merci Yann !

J’adore nos leçons. Il est toujours gentil 😊

I've been trying (and failing) to learn French for years. Since taking lessons with Yann, I feel like I'm making legitimate progress and having fun, too. Always patient and supportive, he meets you where you're at and adapts accordingly; using a variety of teaching materials to keep the learning process engaging. Definitely recommend!

Very flexible in letting me ask all my questions and going to wherever I am at at the moment.
