Isabelle S.

isabelle is an absolute great ESL teacher. She has helped me tremendously improve my English, through every-day life exercises and conversations. Now people tell me that my English is so much better and I am able to discuss with doctors, nurses, mechanics for my car, etc...She is teaching me also a lot about the American culture and behaviors. I highly recommend Isabelle.

Isabelle is teaching French to my 11 year old daughter and our experience has been excellent. My daughter was previously taking group lessons somewhere else and was not making as much progress as we had hoped. Working with Isabelle our daughter feels a lot more motivated to learn the language. Isabelle has also always been very professional, punctual and friendly.

I've had 2 lessons now with Isabelle, and have found her to be exceedingly patient and a wonderful teacher. It's been nearly 20 years since my last French class, but she finds ways to review old concepts and introduce new ones through fun conversational and reading exercises. I highly recommend her!

My son hated French when he first stared working with Isabelle. He liked her immediately, however, and is now enjoying French, as well. His grade in the class has improved significantly. As a parent, I have found her to be very pleasant and easy to work with - she is flexible with scheduling and making adjustments when conflicts arise. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn French!

Mademoiselle Schram is intuitive to the student’s needs as a learner of the French language. In the beginning and as one continues with studying she will ask what interest one has in the French language and tailor lessons in accordance to goals and French studies. Always there is a thread of excitement in relaying information and teaching that only an instructor that loves what he or she does…is able to convey to and through the student. There is a wonderful level of comfort one derives from being in Mademoiselle Schram’s presence that acts as an impetus of flow for easygoing and interesting learning, instruction, and information. Also, she is clear in pronunciation of French and will continually break down words that one may have trouble when listening with a foreign ear and speaking by imitation and repetition. Mademoiselle Schram is elegant of manner, intellect, and “je ne sais quoi” (uniqueness) of a French woman that incorporates well into study and overall learning. She is able to answer questions regarding culture and mannerisms of French people and way of life succinctly. She is exceedingly patient when one asks questions and always responds with a ready compelling answer. Mademoiselle Schram guides one as a student successfully by being perceptive in incorporating, suggesting, referencing French learning aids, websites, and or other instructional devices that take a student’s level of learning French to another level. She is precise and consistently responsible in meeting at the exact time set for learning no matter where a student is in the world. She is constantly present and focused in the time allotted for French learning. She is also well prepared beforehand with every instruction which offers a smooth flowing transition from one aspect of french to the next. Mademoiselle Schram does not disappoint…if anything she delivers…and delivers the entirety of French exceedingly well. Thank you always Mademoiselle Schram for all of the knowledge you impart. Ainsi, J’aime Mademoiselle Schram. Merci beaucoup!

I have been taking lessons with Isabelle for five weeks. I have been learning a lot while working with her. I like that I feel free to ask questions about everyday expressions and complex grammatical discussions. I would recommend Isabelle to any one wanting to learn French at any level.

I am so happy to have found a teacher like Isabelle for French! I would recommend her to teach you and really, anyone French in a heartbeat!

I have had 7 sessions with her so far and each one has been exactly what I am looking for to learn French. My goals for French are pretty ambitious and I am confident that Isabelle can get me there over the next year of lessons. If you are looking for an instructor who has the skill, patience and experience to help you obtain your goals, you will find no better language instructor than Isabelle!

She really is amazing, schedule your lesson(s) TODAY!

Isabelle has an understanding of various cultures and has exposure to languages. That makes her a very patient person, very interested in understanding other person's needs and providing them with what they are looking for through her classes. With the professionalism she brings, I am sure she will make a difference to the students and helps them achieve what they are looking for.

Our family just recently returned to the U.S. after spending three years in France as expatriates. Naturally, we wish our eight year old daughter to continue improving and building upon her French skills. Isabelle has been terrific. She is friendly and has been easy to work with. As a native French speaker, she is the ideal choice to tutor our daughter. Living in the same time-zone has been a real plus, too. Merci!

I had the opportunity to receive some French lesson from Isabelle. She is a great teacher. Isabelle accommodates the lessons according to your needs, makes a great deal of emphasis on correct pronunciation an writing. I really enjoyed learning French with her.
