Nicolas

Nicolas is the best language teacher I've ever had. And this includes one's I had in an ivy league university. He's the only one who truly makes language learning fun, when learning a language is truly difficult. I am so terribly shy that dealing with a new person is really hard for me. But after the first few minutes of my first lesson, I knew my extensive research had paid off, that I had chosen the right teacher. Nicolas combines all of the attributes of a great language teacher. He is very professional and manages to correct all of your mistakes while still making you feel good about how you're doing. He is good natured, genuinely interested in anything, very smart, patient, totally reliable and so much more. Both my confidence and my ability to express myself in French have improved immensely. I am very very grateful both to italki for providing such an outstanding opportunity and to Nicolas who, with his understanding and gentle nudges, has made my life even better.

Nicolas is fantastic. He is patient, well-spoken and really knows his stuff. After one class I am very excited and I look forward to learning more with him

Un cours fantastique ! J'apprends toujours de nouvelles choses grâce aux retours. Les discussions et les débats sont toujours intéressants. Merci :)

Nicolas is an amazing teacher! He’ll make you feel comfortable from the very first minutes of your conversation, which is incredibly important when you are learning and practicing a foreign language. He’s very patient and always ensures that you get your French right. And I can assure you that you’ll have great, chilled and fun time during the class with him. I liked my lessons with Nicolas a lot and you’ll definitely do too, totally recommend him!

It is not often that I write reviews, but with an instructor as great as Nicolas, it feels wrong not to as the praise is so well deserved. Nicolas is someone with the magnetic ability to create interest and connection in seemingly any topic, where you forget about your unsteadiness in the language and are able to talk to him as you would an old friend. His conversational skills are enough to bring the quietest of people to be volunteering to converse in French. He treats every moment with thought and care, but most importantly introspection and intelligence. When trying to improve a language, conversations are often redundant and lacking in color. However, Nicolas’ unique approach in allowing the student to have meaningful exchanges that surpass small talk make the lessons worthwhile and enjoyable. Because the student is enjoying the conversation taking place, the learning becomes simple; mistakes do not feel serious and improvements are natural. One of the best teachers!

Merci Nicolas! C'est toujours un plaisir d'avoir une conversation avec toi. Tu poses des questions interessantes et me corrige quand je fais des erreurs. J'ai essaye plusieurs profs sur iTalki, et tes cours est parmi des meilleurs, sans doute. N'hesitez pas a prendre un cours avec Nicolas!
