After 15 preparation sessions with Estelle, I passed the DALF C1 exam in April, scoring 18/25 in writing (production écrite) and 20/25 in speaking (production orale)! During our lessons, Estelle not only explained clearly what each task required but also taught me practical strategies and techniques to maximise my marks. Before the exam, we had five extra oral presentation practice sessions to make me extra prepared for the exam. While I was speaking, she listened attentively and took detailed notes. After that, she asked challenging questions on the potential weaknesses in my arguments, and sought clarifications on points that I had not well-developed. Finally, she scored my presentation based on the official marking criteria of the test. Estelle is a thoughtful, supportive, and friendly teacher who genuinely cares about her students’ progress. I highly recommend her to anyone preparing for the DELF/DALF exams!

I really like working with Estelle. I'm already at an advanced level of French, so Estelle helps me with expressions, repeated errors, and points out the areas in which I need to improve. She's a great teacher - always prepared for our lessons, always giving articles to read or homework to make. We have very balanced lessons in which we make both casual conversation as well as doing excercises and working on reading and listening. I always look forward to our lessons because I really feel my French improving. I would absolutely recommend Estelle.

I enjoy a lot my lessons with Estelle, we have been working together for around 4 months. I believe she is extremely professional: she puts a lot of effort into material/lesson plan prepared, and it is personalized too. Besides that, she puts a lot of attention to any phrases/text that you say/write and always provides you feedback, so that you can become better. Basically everything that Estelle gives you during her lessons is precious and worth coming back to. It is rare to find such an attentive teacher. Not to mention that she is very kind and supportive :) I always look forward to our lessons.

Amazing class! Very focused, very structured, and excellently prepared! I tried a total of five teachers on italki, and I’m not looking anymore! Highly recommend!

Estelle is a very good teacher: she is both encouraging and diligent when correcting errors, which is a very good combination. She prepares detailed lesson plans, which certainly improve learning. When I take some time to speak during the lesson, she notes down a lot of what I say, which is very useful for reviewing and correcting errors. All in all, I feel that I'm making a lot of progress working with her. Highly recommended.

总第25次课结束啦！Estelle 会结合我的主题要求并结合我的短板进行课程设计，每一次课都感觉是在帮我复习，强化理解，查漏补缺，听力也进步了不少。我感觉自学确实在语法的理解上无法做到有专业老师讲解的系统化和透彻。谢谢你啦,Estelle, 我消化几天，再会！
