Testimonials
My kids have worked with Nicole for two years and their French level has evolved remarkably. The classes are always well structured and aimed at capturing the kids attention with always-new interactive activities. The environment that Nicole creates is very friendly and motivating even for younger kids. I would highly recommend Nicole for beginners as well as for more experienced French learners.

I can highly recommend Nicole. I took French with her for over a year at her location in Northbrook, IL, and only left because I moved to the city and my schedule did not work out. Nicole tailors her lessons to what and how you want to learn. No boring textbooks, she teaches you French that you can actually use!
She is wonderful and makes learning fun!!!!! Book her ASAP, you will not be sorry.

Madame Nicole is a great learning partner for our family. She focuses on conversational french and the tenses and vocabulary that you would utilize as a visitor. Gone are the textbooks of a classroom, but rather she utilizes a great variety of online resources such as videos, games and quizzes to prompt us to speak out loud often, create our own dialogues and listen for comprehension. As an adult learner it is more effective than vocabulary drills and endless conjugation of verbs! Nicole is an interesting and lively lady to learn from. We appreciate her flexibility to match our pace of learning as a busy family with multiple things on the go in a week. I fully recommend Nicole!
Nicole has been terrific. She has very nice teaching style that I suspect helps all levels of Spanish learners. At my very basic level I find her methods to be conducive to my learning. The style is conversational which I find more helpful and practical than classroom learning.

I interviewed several French teachers before hiring Nicole; she was by far the most professional and engaging of any one I interviewed. I look forward to my weekly French lessons and would not hesitate to highly recommend her to anyone looking to have fun while they learn French!

I signed up with Nicole to revive my French in preparation for a trip this fall and couldn't be more pleased. My weekly online sessions with her, taught almost entirely in French, are challenging and rewarding. She is adept at finding varied resources online, both audio and video as well as printed materials, all of which are engaging during the sessions and for me alone during my homework between sessions. She is most generous with her time. Highly recommended!

I’ve taken classes with several teachers, used apps and other learning methods. I can honestly say that Nicole is the best teacher I ever had. She tailors my private classes based on my needs and skills. She got me out of my confort zone and push me to the next level. My French native fiends can see and praise my improvement. Her work speaks for herself. You will see ; )
