PROFESSOR KAPLAN IS ONE GREAT TEACHER. HE HAS ONE GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR WHICH IS A DELIGHT. HE IS PATIENT WITH ALL OF US. HE DOES MANY DIFFERENT THINGS TO KEEP US INVOLVED. HE HAS US WRITE WHICH HE CORRECTS AND SENDS BACK THE E-MAIL.HE SOMEHOW IS ABLE TO COMBINE GRAMMAR AND THE little prince IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE HAVE A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE. I WAS A MATH TEACHER SO I KNOW A WONDERFUL TEACHER WHEN I MEET ONE. WE LEARN A GREAT DEAL AND HAVE FUN AT THE SAME TIME. PROFESSOR KAPLAN'S INTERMEDIATE FRENCH AT NEWTON NORTH HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL FOR MY CONVERSATION AND LISTENING SKILLS. I HAVE TAKEN HIS COURSE FOR FOUR TERMS. ANOTHER GOOD THING ABOUT HIM IS THAT HE KNOWS ALL THE CURRENT SAYINGS SO WE ARE AU COURANT. LANA RICH

It's been great working with Phil. He's very patient and helpful, and he's adapted to the kind of tutoring experience I prefer. For example, he gives me homework, which helps me learn between sessions.

Phil is a great teacher with patience, humor and intelligence. He grew up in France and completely bilingual. He taught French to my 11 year old daughter and always came up with a great idea to keep her interest. We were very happy to have found him here!

We have had Mr. Kaplan since February, 2015 to teach French to our 11 year old son from the beginning level. My intention is to cover all material that a 1st year middle school teaches. He teaches my son one hour per week . He is a fabulous teacher, who teaches not just French pronunciation, but grammar and French culture. He always adds extra content that goes beyond the book. Now after 4-5 lessons, my son can count to 100 and conduct a simple conversation.
