Student reviews
What my students say
Students from all over the world, at every level, learning French for work, travel, a move to France, or simply for the love of it.
"The hard part is over"
“Leyla tailors her lessons to suit my needs and interests, and with some gentle reassurance and practical advice, she has helped to build up my confidence in speaking the language. Of course, I still have a long way to go, but I feel like the hard part is over. I always look forward to my next lesson. Merci beaucoup!”
"She meets me where I'm at"
“I am greatly enjoying practicing my French and being stretched in the process. My tutor, Leyla, very skilfully has adjusted each lesson to meet me where I'm at and at the same time introduces me to new words and concepts. She is very patient and a pleasure to work with.”
"So I can practise on my own"
“It is great that I can do it at my own time at home. My teacher Leyla is awesome. She would send me materials with text and audio so I can practise on my own. Highly recommend it!”

A selection of reviews, in their own words.
“Leyla is great at getting me to try new things when I'm speaking. As a result, I end up successfully saying new things – things which, previously, I thought were outside my comfort zone. I also really like the balance of unstructured chats and structured content. It works really well for me.”
“Leyla is both passionate and patient in teaching me. The structure of the lessons, in part free conversation, in part reading and discussing a current topic, suits me very well. Will certainly continue the lessons.”
“Today was my first lesson with Leyla. She made me feel comfortable and supported as we practice new words and pronunciations. She also was excellent at explain[ing] French grammar, which helped me understand why a phrase was constructed a certain way. I look forward to many more lessons with Leyla over the coming months.”
“Leyla, you are great! You encourage me to try to express myself, give me the time to find my words and let me lean on you when I need help… Time always flies when we have a lesson and I enjoy it so much. Thank you!”
“My tutor, Leyla, is very understanding and supportive. We focus a lot on my oral comprehension and speaking skills, and it's definitely raised my confidence in speaking French.”
“I have had 3 great lessons with Leyla now, she is patient and tailors each lesson to your needs. If you are trying to learn French or just want general speaking practice, I would really recommend her!”
“Leyla is an amazing teacher. She makes every lesson so interesting and innovative by playing games which also helps learning French. My 8 year-old daughter loves each lesson. Thank you!”
“I am learning French with Leyla. Love the flexibility – easy scheduling enabling me to take classes anytime anywhere!! For the fact that I can fit classes whenever I have some free time, I manages to take many more classes than I could do in a classroom settings, hence progressing much faster. Of course, I have to thank Leyla for being the most patient and helpful tutor ever !! Super encouraging 🙂 Merci beaucoup !!”
