I have had two lessons with Valerie to help me refresh my French and I couldn't be more pleased. She is punctual and prepared and listens and makes corrections in a way that doesn't interrupt the conversation. Her corrections and suggestions are also written for the student to keep. I highly recommend Valérie.

I very much enjoy my lessons with Valerie. We speak of a variety of subjects all very pertinent to my life. Valerie listens attentively and gives me immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. I feel like my time with her is both fun and educational.

Just had another fabulous lesson with Valérie! I cannot believe how much help I am getting during our tutorials. Valérie gives me the confidence that I will one day speak French with a credible accent. I am so pleased I signed up to LinguaTalk and very quickly found a tutor who I feel so comfortable with - thank you. Lorraine
