Let’s Learn Together With Leo!
My focus is on both getting results and having fun while we do it. Together, we work on the four language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing and there are also many opportunities to explore interesting quirks and aspects of the French culture as we discuss bits of news I am a very engaged teacher, attuned to my student’s needs and comfort. Knowing well how vulnerable it feels to learn and speak a secondary language, I create a space that is congenial and safe. I will help you progress in French by leaps and bounds. I also incorporate material that is interesting to you, drawing from current events as much as from literature, from music as much as from movies and YouTube videos.
