Maude

My French skills have really improved with Maude. She provides videos in an interesting variety of topics, which stimulate conversation and allow me to expand my vocabulary. She asks plenty of questions, and explains my errors, making sure that I understand. She is patient, attentive and a pleasure to talk with.

Every lesson with Maude is great. We have covered a vast range of topics that are all really interesting from different lifestyles, to how exercise "should be" done and societal expectations we have for ourselves physically, to the development of social media platforms with their advantages and disadvantages. Feedback in class is also given in different forms depending on my needs, sometimes it's instant verbal corrections, sometimes it's written down and reviewed later so we can further explore any problems. Despite taking French lessons on italki since 2020, I was having trouble getting the C1 level test results I need to be able to study abroad for my masters. After only a few lessons with Maude, I finally got my C1 and will be heading to Paris this fall! Merci beaucoup !

Maude is wonderful!!! She works with me at the level I have and supports me with the practice and comprehension I need!

I started taking conversational classes with Maude in April, and I’ve seen a significant improvement in my speaking skills since then. I really appreciate her gentle and patient approach, as well as her attention to detail. She always takes the time to type out any grammar mistakes I make, which is incredibly helpful for me. Maude is also very punctual, offers useful advice, and consistently encourages me in my learning journey. I highly recommend her classes!

I started lessons with Maude in April 2024 when my French was around A1-A2. I recently received C1 in the speaking section of TEF. It really wouldn't have been possible without her guidance. Her lessons focus on real, usable French. They’re well-structured but flexible, with constant attention to clarity, natural expression, and confidence. She’s patient, attentive, and knows exactly how to push you at the right pace. Learning with her genuinely changed my relationship with French, and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to truly learn the language.

Maude was engaged and interested to help me find the right course of learning for my goals. I’m excited to start learning with her help!
