Julien Courson

I would recommend Julien to anyone wanting to improve their French. I have always felt very comfortable when speaking with Julien and this makes learning a new language so much easier. He is patient and very personable. Every lesson we explore new topics, which gives me the chance to improve my vocabulary and ensures that the lesson is always entertaining. Julien is a great teacher and I have enjoyed every lesson.

I don't get nervous when I have class with Julien, unlike when I used to go to school. Our sessions are pretty free-flowing, so that I now imagine I can actually sort of speak French, haha (a few months weekly). He is funny, accommodating, and keeps me on track when I start making wild theories about grammar. 😁 He is an interesting person, to me, to boot, so sometimes when I am unable to do my homework I just ask him to talk, about boat rides and local delicacies, and I get to practice asking questions. 😁 Bref, my confidence is up, such that when I have to go back to work after our session I almost start writing emails in French. 😁

Comme d'habitude, on a eu une très bonne conversation qui m'a aidé beaucoup à utiliser et le vocabulaire de base et de la vie quotidienne. Merci beaucoup Julien pour ta patience et faire de la classe une expérience d'apprentissage agréable 😊

Julien was fantastic! Very friendly and welcoming. He got me started speaking French right away. Merci beaucoup Julien!

Merci beaucoup pour la conversation très agréable !

The class was very well conducted as the exploratory ground-setter that a trial lesson should be. Conducted full time in French, Julien orchestrated a brisk conversation in which, on one hand, I set out the challenges on my side and my expectations and he, on the other hand, explained his teaching methodology. In this context, we dived into a number of specific questions. On my side, I particularly highlighted the importance of a personalized lesson plan. Julien spoke to this issue and also underlined a number of crucial points for effective learning of the French language, for instance, the imperative to very deliberately learn the "gender" of words. To me, he projected exactly the professionalism and style that would reassure a student that he is without question the right tutor to onboard lessons with.
