Visual Method⭐Romain

I've been taking French lessons with Romain on and off for a couple of years now. When it comes to what makes him special or different, several things come to mind. I really appreciate Romain’s dedication to explaining everyday conversational language and slang terminology. Learning these aspects on one's own can be challenging. Besides being a teacher, Romain is also a musician who willingly shares his love of music with those interested. Thanks to him, I've curated an extensive playlist of fabulous French songs. There is no way that I would’ve discovered all of those songs (of such excellent taste!) on my own. Although we haven’t used this approach in a while, I remember that when we first started lessons, we utilized his visual system. For beginners or for those who feel a bit rusty, I believe that this system provides a great way to get started. It certainly helped me gain more confidence in speaking.

Every lesson so far has been exceptional. I know many teachers on Italki get 5 star reviews because thats the way things have gone here, but Romain, is in a league of his own. His preparation and years of hard work to build his visual teaching platform, makes for a very organized and productive lesson each time. As I wrote in a previous review, this is a much better approach for beginners and intermediates than just trying to have an open ended discussion about whatever comes up.

We’re doing passe composé and imparfait!! He’s very patient with me, I need that !

Romain is a wonderful instructor! We just had our first beginner lesson for my child, 9 years old -- so fun, challenging, and engaging.

Another great session with Romain today ! My spoken French has improved with just a few lessons with him. We even tackled the Subjunctive today and I did well thanks for Romain's guidance.

I have been studying French on my own for about 4 years now, and although I can understand a lot, I struggle to speak. I've met with other tutors on iTalki and decided to try and find someone that really focused on speaking...basically advertises it, and that's when I saw Romain's profile. I decided to do a trial lesson and immediately knew he would able to help me. It's more than just his visual approach, it's also his approach of when he introduces certain grammar/concepts in the lesson. After the lesson, I receive a copy of my errors, a short excercise to help me practice what we went over, and a French song (nice touch!). Finally, as an added bonus, Romain helps me with my pronounciation. Other tutors have done that as well, but Romain REALLY makes sure I am pronouncing correctly. This is huge as my plan was to also have a tutor that focuses just on pronounciation once I am conversational. I highly recomend Romain...He is more than a tutor, he is a French language coach !
