Françoise’s knowledge of the French language and grammar rules is truly impressive – not only does she know context behind every rule she teaches, she can explain the same idea in five different ways (if you’re like me and you didn’t understand the first four times, she will always be able to come up with another creative way of explaining it). She truly has the patience of a Saint – no matter how many times she had to repeat a lesson with me, there was always a smile on her face and a positive word of encouragement.
