Visual Method⭐Romain

I've been taking French lessons with Romain on and off for a couple of years now. When it comes to what makes him special or different, several things come to mind. I really appreciate Romain’s dedication to explaining everyday conversational language and slang terminology. Learning these aspects on one's own can be challenging. Besides being a teacher, Romain is also a musician who willingly shares his love of music with those interested. Thanks to him, I've curated an extensive playlist of fabulous French songs. There is no way that I would’ve discovered all of those songs (of such excellent taste!) on my own. Although we haven’t used this approach in a while, I remember that when we first started lessons, we utilized his visual system. For beginners or for those who feel a bit rusty, I believe that this system provides a great way to get started. It certainly helped me gain more confidence in speaking.

Every lesson so far has been exceptional. I know many teachers on Italki get 5 star reviews because thats the way things have gone here, but Romain, is in a league of his own. His preparation and years of hard work to build his visual teaching platform, makes for a very organized and productive lesson each time. As I wrote in a previous review, this is a much better approach for beginners and intermediates than just trying to have an open ended discussion about whatever comes up.

Very good teacher, explains so I can understand

Romain is a wonderful instructor! We just had our first beginner lesson for my child, 9 years old -- so fun, challenging, and engaging.

Fantastic class with Romain ! His approach is definitely focused on improving speaking skills, which is what I need. I've had other French tutor sessions, but didn't seem to improve in fluency (maybe just vocabulary), however in just two sessions I can tell that with Romain's continued coaching I can reach the level of fluency I'm aiming for.

I am really enjoying my lessons with Romain. He definitely makes me think deeply about issues, and although it is challenging to think of how to convey these thoughts in French, I learn a lot about how to think in French. I have a long way to go and am looking forward to improving my language skills with Romain.
