Guy has been a huge help! After only a few lessons I already feel much more comfortable with my French-speaking ability thanks to his lessons. I especially liked that he chose important concepts to teach based on my specific needs to ensure I got the most out of our time.

Guy was very committed to getting me where I needed to be with French. He taught to my learning style and was always available to answer questions and also spent time sending me supplemental materials. He was always on time and very reliable. Definitely recommend!

I started working with Guy almost exactly 7 weeks before our trip. I had no illusion that I would get to the point where I could participate in a true conversation, BUT Guy felt like he could prepare me to at least be able to be polite and communicate to some extent as well as being able to recognize things being said. He has done just that and more. He’s been great to work with and is always adaptable, adjusting to whatever I felt like I needed to work on more. In one case that was numbers, in others it’s been situational conversation specific to things we plan to do in France. I won’t be able to carry on a full conversation (one needs to work a lot more than a 7 week crash course to get there) but we will head to France with a comfort level that I owe entirely to Guy. You will feel instantly comfortable with him the first time you meet and that makes working with him super easy. If you are looking to learn some French, you can’t got wrong with Guy.
