          French Native Teacher — I think that to learn French with a native speaker is the best way to get a great accent and to discover the culture. I graduated at the university of Canterbury in England. And after that, I worked as a French assistant in Canterbury school for three years.

          Why choose claudine c.

          "Claudine is extremely patient, which is very necessary when teaching beginners (like me!) and she speaks English very well which helps when you are first learning a language. Claudine is also lovely and friendly and makes you feel very comfortable straight away. Our lessons are always well planned and we follow a good structure from a reputable text book. She patiently corrects my pronunciation as we work through grammar and vocabulary. Classes are always really enjoyable and I highly recommend Claudine."

          Certified Linguistic and Intercultural Developer, 17+ years of experience | French, English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese | Personal and Professional Development — My experience in education and language teaching began in 2004 with children and youth, focusing on trilingual academic development and educational psychology.

          Why choose Juliana A.

          "I've been working with Juliana for a little over 3 months now (17 classes) and just a few of the things I appreciate about her is her organization, dynamism, discerning abilities, and overall pleasant personality. My goal is to be able to speak fluent medical Spanish. She adjusted her lesson plan almost immediately to suit my priorities and gave meaningful homework after every lesson. I can always tell her what I'm interested in learning about and/or if she noticed that I am not fully understanding a certain concept, she would digress from the lesson plan to address that. Those accomodations really helped to improve my understanding and better my speaking skills. She's also incredibly smart in addition to speaking 5 languages. One of the exercises we've done is patient-provider scenarios. It's impressive how she's able to come up with hypothetical situations parallel to my current practice. It also takes a lot of skill to know when and how to correct someone without it becoming overwhelming. At my level, there is a lot to correct, but her pace is easy-going and her instruction style is precise and succinct so that her feedback is easily digestible. I plan to continue with Juliana, as her method works for me. Already, I've been able to hold conversations with some of my patients without needing an interpreter. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends and family interested in learning Spanish."
