French Teacher Fred

I have been taking French classes with Fred on and off for nearly three years now. Fred is a very kind and interesting person, and talking with him in class often feels like talking to a friend! While I'm sure Fred is an excellent teacher for all levels and interests, I couldn't recommend Fred higher for conversational language practice in particular. He often recommends movies for additional listening comprehension/ vocabulary practice, which is a helpful/fun supplement to lessons. He has also always been willing to discuss topics of particular interest, and has helped me with things such as writing cover letters or preparing for job interviews. Highly recommend improving your French with Fred!

I’ve been working with Frédéric on my French for just under a year and a half. I began as an intermediate level, book-educated French student who was afraid to speak with others in public. I was too self conscious of making mistakes, so I was practically mute. Fred’s warm, accepting, and engaging methods of teaching me, helped me overcome this hurdle in just a few months. I am now able to converse rather fluently, although I obviously still make mistakes. (Written December 2020) Now, that I continue this review 8 months later, August 2021, my speaking is beginning to improve at an ever increasing rate. We work well together. As we know each other better, our work and my progress is more efficient and effective. I do not believe I could find a better teacher for my needs. He has brought me to a level of speaking that I never thought I would attain, especially so fast. Fred is the absolute best private French teacher on the web. I would recommend him without reservation to anyon...

I have had many lessons with Fred. He is a great teacher and keeps the content interesting and engaging. I've had many different French teachers using different online platforms. Often we were always discussing learning materials and content set for learners. It was hard to be engaged. Fred has pushed me to step out of my comfort zone and have real conversations about things I am interested in. Our conversations are always real and engaging. Fred is very personable, friendly, and patient. Even though I struggle at times to say what I need, Fred is always encouraging.
