"I highly recommend Emilie! Her teaching style is patient, clear and encouraging. She provides a variety of tools and resources, and offers helpful recommendations on ways to further immerse in the language. She is naturally observant and attentive, and customizes the lessons to my level. She also allows time for meaningful conversations, lending opportunity for exchange and sharing – it has been helping me as I gain more confidence with speaking in French. I highly recommend Emilie to anyone looking to improve your French in a supportive environment :)"

"If you choose Emilie, you will be glad you did! I have worked with Emilie for about a year at a relatively advanced level of French. Emilie encourages the student to follow what subjects inspire them, making learning both fun and productive. She is respectful of her students as individuals and encourages each person’s unique development… positively!"

"Emilie is a very nice person to talk to, full of interests and very curious. So she makes you speak a lot, and she write down the sentences in the correct way so you can learn from your mistakes."

"Emilie is very kind and attentive. She explains topics patiently and organizes the lessons based on your interests and goals. I especially recommend her if you want to practice French conversation in an engaging way."

"Great teacher, prepared, professional, and Always available to give you advices."

"I was fortunate to cross paths with Emilie last year while living on Bainbridge Island in Washington. I had been looking for a native French teacher to help prepare my 12-year-old son, Diego, to pass an A1/A2 level written and oral exam to enter the second year of a bilingual Spanish/French secondary school back in Madrid (where we had been living before coming to the United States). With no French classes offered at his school in the US, we tried some small group online classes, but they seemed too basic to prepare him for the school exam. With Emilie, we began in April with in-person classes, one to two days a week. She patiently worked through the Madrid school’s French book with my son. Emilie helped him with pronunciation, grammar, and written and conversational French. Her friendly nature helped her develop a nice rapport with Diego. She also had high expectations of him, assigning him homework for additional practice and was always very professional and punctual. We continued the classes online together after we both left the United States. After finishing the book at the end of summer, we are pleased to share that our son passed the exam and was admitted to the second year of the bilingual French program! The school’s administrators told us it was very rare to allow a student to enter the bilingual program in the second year, only occurring in exceptional cases when the child had a native French-speaking parent, which was not our case. We are so grateful to Emilie for everything she did to help Diego learn to speak confidently in French! Hearing them practice together has inspired me to brush up on my French skills as well. Who knows, perhaps I will be Emilie’s next student! In the meantime, we highly recommend Emilie to anyone who would like to learn French."

"Emilie’s creative teaching style helps you learn intuitively. She has a great combination of making learning practical but also fun and she tailors her style and approach to your level. I am enjoying my French learning with her very much and highly recommend working with her!"
