I warmly recommend HERVE. He is an excellent teacher who has the essential ingredients to improve quickly: Always attentive, he adapts to our needs and requests. Always in a good mood, he makes lessons so enjoyable that you forget the time. Patient and educator, he also takes the time to explain to us what is needed. The fact that he is perfectly bilingual (French / English) also allows him to clarify and specify certain points (grammar rules, agreements, conjugation, pronunciation, etc.) in the other language if necessary. In short, it's always a pleasure to have a lesson with him. Thank you, Hervé
