Laia

Had a first French cours de conversation avec Laia - excellent! She was responsive to my goals and asked lots of questions to get me speaking. She was also willing to share from her life to keep it a REAL conversation, which is excellent.

I have been working on my oral French with Laia for a couple of years. She tailors each lesson to my interests, and with her help, I have managed to keep my French alive better than at any other point in my life where I didn't live in a French community. She provides homework that is of interest to me and keeps me engaged. Her training in language instruction and translation makes our lessons extremely valuable to me. They are certainly worth their price. When I have a week without a lesson, my brain actually feels it, and my French weakens. On top of it all, Laia is relaxed and incredibly patient. I have a new baby, and sometimes he gets a little grumpy and I have to address the situation during class. She goes above and beyond in terms of professionalism, and we can even continue the conversation while mon petit chou is comforted. Merci beaucoup pour tout, Laia! You're an amazing instructor, and I'm so so glad I found you here.

Laia is an exceptional professor! Grateful I am learning from her.

J'ai eu plus de 140 conversations hebdomadaires avec Laia. Elle est authentique, énergique, patiente, flexible et réfléchie. Laia est une enseignante compétente et expérimentée, et elle est toujours prête à s'engager dans des discussions sur pratiquement n'importe quel sujet. Elle est très attentive à mes besoins en tant qu'apprenant de français.

Laia is an excellent French teacher with a warm, approachable style that makes learning both enjoyable and effective. Her patience and encouragement create a comfortable environment for conversation, which has significantly boosted my confidence and speaking skills. She has a natural ability to guide lessons in a way that feels relaxed yet purposeful. I’ve noticed real progress thanks to her support and engaging teaching approach. High recommend Laia!!

really great first lesson helping me with some grammar basics while also making sure I get a lot of speaking practice and pronunciation in french :)
