Clients Testimonials
Christopher Schmier2024-11-28After two years of struggling to learn French in Montreal, it was finally through Jes that my French skills and language confidence saw massive improvements. The way she teaches it to her clients feels very organic and she has a great intuition for giving space for people who are not confident in speaking the language at all. I could feel how my skills were improving week by week and how i'd engage in casual conversations with French speakers more and more. Highly recommended!Mina Lee2024-10-16Jes was absolutely helpful for my French practices for work. The course was customized for my specific needs at workplace and for my role at the company, as well as for my own weaknesses and personal needs. The course materials were diverse and full of things to learn, which were also carefully adapted to my specific needs. --- Jes a été d'une grande aide pour ma pratique du français pour mon travail. Le cours a été adapté à mes besoins spécifiques pour le travail et pour mon rôle, ainsi qu'à mes propres faiblesses et besoins personnels. Les manuels et les autres supports de cours étaient diversifiés et pleins de choses à apprendre, qui ont également été soigneusement adaptés à mes besoins spécifiques.Kerry Johnson2024-10-11Working with Jes has truly boosted my confidence in speaking French! The lessons are fun and engaging, and Jes's warm, encouraging energy makes the learning process enjoyable. Jes creates plenty of opportunities to practice speaking, ask questions, and make mistakes in a supportive environment. I highly recommend Jes to anyone looking to improve their French skills!Maria Lopez2024-05-10I had the opportunity to take classes with Jessica for winter 2023/spring 2024. Jessica was quick to adapt the training material to help students achieve their language objectives. In my case, I needed to learn French as spoken in Quebec. I'm still leveraging valuable resources shared during our sessions. Those resources (ex. Wandering French) have certainly enhanced my comprehension of French spoken in Quebec!. Totally recommended!Krystyn Tully2024-02-21Jessica is fantastic to work with. The one-on-one sessions were structured but left space for my questions. I really appreciated the way Jessica took time to understand my specific needs and to focus on situations that I experience daily -- this was not a "one size fits all" curriculum. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Jessica!Zubair Baig2024-02-14Jes is a great tutor who not only focuses on the theory and grammar but adds an equal emphasis on real-life conversations and interactions.
