French is Christine's first language and she provides insight into proper cultural speech and other insights unavailable from book or CD.

Christine is an excellent French teacher! I have been taking private lessons with her for several months and cannot believe how much I have learned. She not only teaches the language impeccably, but also includes teaching French culture. She is warm, intelligent, and a very patient teacher...I highly recommend Christine
Chelsea W.
Christine tutored our son for French 2 and French 3.
She is very diligent and committed. She was very thorough and disciplined in her approach. We preferred working with Christine as she is a native of France. We were very pleased with her as a tutor.

"I have been taking private French lessons with Christine since September 2015. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She is professional, flexible with her schedule, always on time, and an amazing language instructor. Not to mention, she has the utmost patience, as I do not always pronounce things correctly. Christine's style of teaching makes you want to absorb as much as possible and perfect the way you articulate. I look forward to seeing her every week for my lesson. I would also recommend her as an instructor for young children and/or teens wanting to learn french or just brush up on the language. She is truly someone not only adults enjoy learning from, she has such a lovely personality, your children will love her too. I have had many instructors in the past, and Christine is the creme de la creme of them all".
