Karine M is fantastic. She did a crash course to prepare me for a trip. More than a year of Duolingo gave me some vocab (though not nearly enough), but I would not have been ready without Karine's help. Not only did we work on my French but also on the cultural norms and expectations. I know my French is still very much at the beginner level, but I am excited to finally go to France and be able to speak at least a bit of the native tongue. Merci beaucoup!!

Karina is really encouraging and fun to work with. She has put me on a path to actually being able to speak French, which I've been studying with Duolingo for more than a year. I knew a lot of vocabulary but had no experience using it in conversation. She is also providing guidance on the culture. This has been a great investment! Karina is a lovely person, and I very much look forward to our lessons.

Wonderful! Karine put me at ease and made me more confident in getting started on this language journey. That is saying a lot, as I have been too chicken to take the leap for years and decades.

Karina is doing a great job of helping me build my confidence in speaking and developing my understanding of the culture of France. I am looking forward to a trip and feel that I will be very well prepared to navigate the essentials. She has developed an excellent lesson plan. I highly recommend her.

Another great lesson! Karine is a fabulous teacher. She's patient and upbeat, and comes prepared with appropriate materials.
