Carine Balcan

I am amazed at how much more comfortable I am at speaking French because Carine is so supportive and patient. I am also learning more advanced grammar and the homework she gives me is very challenging. We always review it together the next lesson.

Happy to share that I passed my exam — and surprisingly, with a high score! I truly credit this success to Carine’s incredible support. We did a lot of focused practice, especially for the production orale and écrite sections, which really boosted my confidence. More importantly, Carine prepared me for unexpected challenges during the exam. She taught me how to think on my feet and use the vocabulary I already know to my advantage. Her guidance made all the difference, and I’m very grateful!

I am learning some great grammar and also conversation skills with Carine.

Carine is such a good teacher. I have learned so much about correct pronunciation and always learn new vocabulary. She also is making some fantastic videos to teach.

We are working on vocabulary to help me prepare for my cruise in France, very helpful!

Today's session focused on grammar and how to apply it. I really enjoyed the material because it's practical and something I can actually use in everyday life, unlike textbook dialogues that often feel too formal and not always relevant. I really appreciate Carine’s teaching style and the materials she chooses to focus on.
