Abdullah M. from Arlington, VA I learned French previously, but stopped for a couple of years. I was planning to go to France in the summer, and wanted to get a tutor to refresh my French. Ms. G. was amazing and really helped me a lot. Even though we only met 3 times, we managed to get our goals accomplished. Work with her and you won't regret it. She is a fluent French tutor from Paris. Nothing beats this.

David M. from Washington, DC In short, Martine is an excellent tutor! To elaborate: Martine is first and foremost a very enjoyable person to be around. Our lessons are always cheerful in nature and you can tell that she really enjoys sharing her skills with others. Her lessons are a great combination of regimented and fluid structure--Martine always has a plan for the lesson to ensure productive use of time but also allows for you to explore certain things on the fly if they are of interest to you or require additional time to comprehend. The content of her lessons further augments her teaching skills/methods: As a native of France, Martine brings her lifetime of experience to the table and ensures that you're learning a style of French can be applied once you leave the classroom. Finally, she is very accommodating when it comes to scheduling lessons--a very convenient trait if your schedule tends to be dynamic.

Patricia A. from Arlington, VA Martine was well prepared for our session, including providing her own worksheets and materials. I have a book I purchased to teach myself the language, and she looked through it and gave me some exercises as homework. She only assigned me work that I could handle outside of the sessions; she is sensitive to the busy professional's time. Martine was encouraging and patient during our class. Although I came to the session feeling nervous about my ability, I left feeling like it would be a breeze to learn this language!

Bernard T. from Fairfax, VA Martine has been a very effective French teacher for me. She understands my strengths and weaknesses quite well so she can tailor our lessons to the things I need most to work on. I already had a little French so it was important to me that the lessons were neither too basic nor too advanced. Ms. G made them just right and she has helped me very considerably. I would recommend her strongly for the approach she takes with students, which is both thoughtful and highly effective.
