I will be focusing on your very needs, either using your methodology, or any other. I can provide complementary support to Rosetta Stone, for example as some students struggle to learn English on their own with this methodology. I can recommend websites and books.

-"HELP , I'm going to France soon , I need some basic things to say"
-"I would like to be able to read books in french and have a conversation."
-"Can I be fluent in less than a year?"
Don't worry, you found the right person ! :)
I can help you with :
• Pronunciation ( so that nobody will answer you in English )
• What to know if you go to France soon ( so that you can know a little bit before you go )
• Basic to advanced conversation ( so you can make french friends and understand what they say )
• Train your ear ( so you don’t answer like a robot and recognize what ...
About Zach
I have since then lived in Paris , Philadelphia and now New York.
I graduated from "Jean-Monnet European High-school" where I specialized in English and French Literature.
I have been teaching FRENCH for more than 10 years now.
Most people I've taught first came to me saying "French is so hard , I will never be able to speak it" or "When I try to speak french, french people answer me in english"
THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN WITH ME :)
French is easy , you just need a good teacher who cares about YOU and adapts the lessons to YOUR NEEDS:
I do ! :)

About Alex B.

I have a passion for my language and I am always glad to share it with someone. French is a fascinating and beautiful language, but has the reputation to be difficult. I will prove you it is not.
About Alex
My name is Alex, I come from Paris and I now work in New York.
I give French lessons during my spare time, to children, adults, or people preparing an exam.
I can adapt to any level, and you will have the opportunity to speak a lot during each lesson, and to acquire quickly a decent accent.
I have been giving Mathematics and physics private lessons for some years, with great satisfaction, and therefore I have a good experience.
Don't hesitate to contact me for any question !
Au revoir ;)

I've been teaching French for 3 years and my students have gone from total beginner to intermediate level. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to introduce yourself and speak about basic conversational subjects and as time goes on you'll be able to speak about many more specific topics. I can work with you on your written and oral understanding skills as well as written and oral producing. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

I'm a recent French instructor at the University of Florida and previously was an English instructor at the English Language Institute of the University of Florida teaching students of all ages. I've taught French at the Ohio University to undergraduates. I've been teaching since 2009, so if you're looking for someone with experience and know-how, that's me!
My first experience teaching was through France's TAPIF program where I was given over 200 students, aged 6-12, and a long list of words and phrases
As an instructor, I play the role of a coach. I enable students to focus on their goals and hold them accountable to accomplishing them. I promote student agency and allow students to make choices about their own learning; this way each lesson fits their individual needs and differences. Before being a teacher, I was a success coach for college students. Not only will you learn your target language from me, but also the metacognitive and self-regulatory skills necessary to get ahead in life, your career, and academia! Who else offers that?
Overall, I am passionate, dedicated, outgoing, sometimes silly, and, above all, motivating. I work hard as a student and instructor, always giving 110%. Sign up for a trial lesson and let's make an action plan together! It's time to reach your goals!
I look forward to working with you!

Hi!
I was born and raised in Paris and lived there until I was 18, which is when I moved to NYC for college. I am a true Parisian who loves and breathes France, and I look forward to sharing that with you. I make sure to customize my lessons to each student and their needs and interests. I want to know what you are seeking to learn and what your objectives are which sill structure our lessons together. I want each of my student to feel like they leave each class feeling excited about what they learned, and am always open to feedback and suggestions.
About Gabriela
To tell you a bit more about myself, my mother is Dominican/American and my father is Lebanese, but I was born and raised in Paris, France, which explains that I speak French, English, Italian and Spanish fluently. From a young age, I have had a deep appreciation and passion for languages, as well as other cultures. I moved to NYC to attend Columbia University, where I studied International Relations. I started tutoring on the side while in college and absoluty love working with children. Since graduating, I work in tv/film production where the hours are always changing, which would allow me to continue tutoring. I am a social, personable and responsible person, who cares about the needs and interests of whoever I work with. I customize my classes from student to student, and am always open to feedback and suggestions.

French Lesson Reviews from Students
Students are raving about their French instructors on TakeLessons. Check out some of these recent reviews.
Elsa is a very cheerful young lady, wonderful with Nicholas, and has a real talent for explaining French grammar and the nuances between French and English. I enjoy getting to ask her my questions and benefit from her knowledge on an adult level, just as I enjoy watching her engage with my son on his level. She is clearly very experienced in teaching young children and makes learning lots of fun for them. Anyone looking to learn French themselves and have their child begin French at an early age will really benefit from Elsa's classes."

My kids are learning and connect very well with her.
In the past it was complicated for them attend this extra class but with Leila things are getting easier.
I really recomend her."
