Yoann montebrun

We - mainly my twins (turning 10) and I - have been taking lessons with Yoann for close to 4 years. We probably took more than 1,000 classes so far. Currently, my kids follow the whole syllabus of French school curriculum with Yoann. That includes French grammar/reading/phenology, math and geography. They read Harry Potter in French for fun. I boast this because I want to highlight Yoann’ ability. It’s a miracle that my kids that were born in the US to non-French speaking parents to have fluency in French. All the classes were online, and it takes so much soft skills to connect with 6 year olds online to be able to teach them. It’s extremely rare to meet someone this decent and dedicated. He is very very knowledgeable in his craft - teaching and pedagogy. It’s clear that teaching is his vocation and passion. He’s cultured, humble, emotionally intelligent, intellectually curious, disciplined, punctual, adapts to different learning styles and professional. He is THE best teacher.

Cómo siempre, otra excelente clase. La perfecta ración de energía, práctica oral y gramática. Cada semana siento que avanzo a pasos gigantes con Yoann. Mi meta es poder viajar a Francia, poder comunicarme en el día a día y conocer personas, una vez que acabe la pandemia. Comencé con 0 (cero) conocimiento de francés y ahora realmente siento que podré lograr mi objetivo 😃 👏 Yoann es nativo de Francia pero habla un español perfecto ya que lleva viviendo muchos años en Colombia 👍

Today was my first lesson with Yoann. I'm a beginner. He ask me a series of questions (all in french) and ask me to read a short text in order to understand my current level and tailored the class and the methods to it. He showed me a lot of online resources as well as books that we are going to use to improve on the 4 habilities of the language. He was extremely kind and competent. I'm very happy with this first class and look forward to continue learning with him. Hoy fue mi primera lección con Yoann. Soy principiante en el francés. Me hizo una serie de preguntas (todas en francés) y me pidió que leyera un texto breve para comprender mi nivel actual y adaptar la clase y los métodos a él. Me mostró muchos recursos en línea, así como libros que usaremos para mejorar las 4 habilidades del idioma. Fue extremadamente amable y competente. ¡Estoy muy feliz con esta primera clase y espero seguir aprendiendo con él!

Yoann is very clear, directed and purposeful in his approach to teaching. Appears to be a very thoughtful professor, while also making the time enjoyable

He's really an excellent professor who cares about his work. I definitely am learning quite a bit from him.

Another great class with Yoann! It was so productive and I feel so accomplished!! We dug right into our grammar book. He went over my homework and corrected in green pen (not as alarming since it’s not red :) and went over the new materials. He corrected my pronunciation mistakes ever so gently, and gave me a lot of encouragement! Never judging or condescending!! Time flew!! I love my French class with Yoann! Looking forward to the next class!!!!!!
