I have struggled in French for a very long time, but David always reassured me that I was much better at French than I gave myself credit for. He helped me so much, and by the end of our lessons I felt so much more confidence in my French skills. For those looking to see whether David is worth it or not, just know this: David is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Period. He always shared jokes with me and was aways going out of his way to make sure I was having fun while learning. I never felt like going to these lessons was tedious or a chore. In fact by the end I was even looking forward to them. He constantly pushed me to better myself but never made it stressful. If you are looking for someone to teach you French, English, or Spanish, he's the guy for you.

My mom and I took six private sessions with David, and we've also taken his group lessons, as well. He is absolutely phenomenal. We decided to take lessons since we are going to France in October for vacation. Highly recommended. He is a great teacher, is patient, and is pragmatic. He is great with adapting to varying abilities of French before we began taking lessons. - Matt and Joan

David is a great teacher, he is very intelligent and proactive with learning but he also makes it fun, I really like his way of teaching, I studied French years ago and I thought I had forgotten it, but he in a few classes made me remember and see beyond what I knew, I learned a lot in this time with him, he is very good at Spanish and English even though he is a French native, he impresses me and inspires me to continue learning more languages, merci beaucoup pour tout. 

David es un gran maestro, es muy inteligente y proactivo con el aprendizaje pero también lo hace divertido, me gusta mucho su forma de enseñar, yo estudié francés hace años y pensé que lo había olvidado, pero él en pocas clases me hizo recordar y ver más allá de lo que sabía, aprendí mucho en este tiempo con el, se le da muy bien el español y el inglés aunque es un francés nativo, me impresiona y me inspira a seguir aprendiendo más idiomas, merci beaucoup pour tout.

Pragmatic teacher! Amazing class! I´m so thankful.

Very engaging for my 6 year old daughter.

David is an excellent French teacher. We started by assessing my current level at the time and developed lessons from there. David is very energetic and passionate about teaching. I just finished up 10 lessons and found them to be very helpful and set me on a path to continue learning French.

David is excellent! Can't recommend him enough.

David was knowledgable, professional, and kind. He tailored the lessons around my goals and made them engaging and fun. It was an excellent experience!

jump right in to the thick of it   I love it

My son looks forward to his French lessons with David. After being a virtual student during Covid-19, my son returned to school this year to find he was behind the students who went in-person last year. My son had a lot of anxiety from falling behind but said David “makes it (catching up) fun.”

David is passionate about teaching which makes lessons extremely fun!

David conducted a lesson with me from Paris! It was exciting learning about his country of origin.

David really knows his stuff as a Spanish speaker but also as a teacher. He clearly has mastered the art of teaching online by using Take Lessons video along with Google Docs. Excited to keep learning!

David started out right away encouraging me to speak French, even when I didn't remember anything! He eased me right into the real world, not just spouting vocabulary words and grammar. That's exactly what I wanted!
