“Excellent! I was able to pick up my French again—which I studied at school for more than 30 years—with an individual, business French course program tailored by Jean-Luc. Jean-Luc put together a course program that suited me perfectly on short notice. During the lessons, my pronunciation was always corrected in a pleasant way until I could reproduce it correctly myself. Many business topics and dialogues were reviewed and well-practiced. I can highly recommend Jean-Luc’s French course to everyone!”
Maria Raidl
“Jean-Luc’s customer focus is excellent. The course was 100% tailored to my wishes, which were also adjusted quite often. Every time, in addition to the necessary basic knowledge, Jean-Luc managed to find enough current material that actually aligned with my study goals. In short: highly recommended!”
Jacob Bekebrede
“Driven, enthusiastic, and very professional. I look forward with pleasure to our discussions in French about current social topics that are provided well in advance for preparation. A top teacher who, during my private lessons, combines grammatical insights with modern French usage, causing both my speaking and writing skills to improve by leaps and bounds. And he has a sense of humor too!”
