Alexandra

I’ve been working with Alexandra for several months and my French has improved drastically. She has helped me relearn French, from struggling to remember how to properly use the passé compose vs imparfait and barely being able to muster sentences together to now having conversations in French about Québec culture and history. She has a very wide and in depth knowledge of grammar which she is able to break it down into very simple, digestible steps and she also has a wealth of resources as well as exercises that can help you practice, improve, and understand whichever aspect of the language you’re working on. I highly recommend her; whether you are starting to learn French, want to sharpen your current skills or just to learn more about Québec and the Canadian Francophonie: Alexandra will be able to adjust her pace to your ability and provide you with a road map on how to build on what you know so you can continue to learn and improve.

As usual, my lesson was delightful. Stop looking for French teachers. Alexandra is the only French teacher you'll ever need.

I was very happy with my lesson with Alexandra! I am an experienced speaker of French as a second language, but like everyone I have room for improvement in languages which are not my native language. I had specific vocabulary questions for her and simply wanted the experience of having a conversation with a native speaker of Québecois French. We started our session precisely at the scheduled time. I found her very easy to understand, very responsive to questions, and very comfortable to interact with. I plan to continue scheduling sessions with her and will be scheduling another lesson soon with the same goals, help with specific questions of usage and the experience of carrying on a conversation with a francophone. This was my first Italki experience and I wasn't sure whether I would enjoy this format and would want to try it again. I did enjoy it very much and I will absolutely be back for more! Merci Alexandra!

It’s a very enjoyable lesson. The teacher makes me at ease, which is important because I feel more difficult to speak a foreign language when I am nervous or anxious. She gives me feedback from time to time and suggests me what aspects I should improve at the end of the lesson. She is also very patient and responsive.

My trial lesson was stress free. I received very helpful guidance and encouragement during the lesson as well as clear guidance in what my next steps should be.

I have been working with Alexandra for more than 6 months and I have seen a great improvement in my French! I appreciate her patience and clarity. I love learning more about Quebec culture, history and language as well as reaching my learning goals. Highly recommend.
