Perfect! Alex is super nice. In this first lesson, he assessed my level in French, gained a clear understanding of what I want to learn and what approaches will be most effective and enjoyable for me. He followed up immediately with a write-up about our session and how we might proceed. I could not be happier. I am confident my French will improve dramatically by staying the course with Alex.
- I’m really glad the first lesson helped clarify your goals and set a clear path forward. I always aim to make the learning process structured, personalized, and easy to follow, so you can see steady progress.Bernard-Alexandre's response :
I also really enjoyed the last lessons we had — you asked great questions and showed strong engagement, which makes a big difference in your progress. Keep it up!
Perfect! Really liked working with Alex! The goal was to prepare for the exam, TEF Quebec in my case.
Alex is very responsible, friendly and encouraging when it comes to teaching. To me what stands out is that our lessons are well structured; he always makes sure to include a recap of everything we've covered during the lesson after.
I also care a lot about feeling comfortable around someone, especially when it's a teacher. Alex seems to always find good things to say about my progress and I'm not intimidated to make mistakes when I speak.
Thank you Alex, I'm glad I have found a teacher like you :)- Nina, your efforts and regular practice are clearly building your confidence.Bernard-Alexandre's response :

- Thanks so much for your kind review, Robert — it means a lot! I’m really glad you’re enjoying the lessons. You bring great curiosity about French language and culture, which makes our sessions engaging. Even as a beginner, you make consistent efforts and aren’t afraid to use what you know or make mistakes—a real strength in learning. With your steady work and positive attitude, you’re making solid progress and building confidence in French.Bernard-Alexandre's response :
Perfect! I had a truly wonderful experience learning French with Alexandre. He is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about teaching. Every class was engaging and helped me build confidence in speaking, listening, and writing. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their French in a supportive and motivating environment. Merci beaucoup!
Perfect! Alex is an exceptional tutor. I have had just a handful of lessons with him, but I am already very impressed with his ability to draw upon his experience and intuition as a teacher and quickly assess a student’s range of abilities and areas of challenge. He is very organized and responsive in terms of communication both before and after lessons. Each lesson is followed up by a detailed recap of material covered, highlighting new vocabulary or grammatical/syntactic concepts so that there is little need for me to take notes, allowing me to devote my much-needed full concentration to the session! I have also never taken on-line language lessons before, and I have particularly enjoyed the format of working through (in my case, mostly oral comprehension) exercises on a shared screen. Alex manages all aspects of this so seamlessly and efficiently that it feels just as good as a face-to-face interaction, and with no special tech expertise at all required on my part :) Most importantly, Alex is a very kind, encouraging and motivating teacher - he makes sure to present material that is sufficiently challenging to promote a rich learning experience but is also very patient, supportive and sensitive to the student’s perspective. He has a very calm and methodical approach, and he always takes time to explain concepts carefully and thoroughly and to acknowledge all my efforts and small successes as well!
- Thanks so much for your generous review, Elizabeth! I really enjoy our lessons together. You bring focus, curiosity, and a thoughtful approach to learning French, which makes each session both productive and rewarding. You’re always positive during class and engage deeply with the material, especially in oral comprehension. Your questions and reflections show a strong grasp of language, and your level is already very good. I hope our lessons help you gain even more confidence when speaking French—you’re definitely on the right track!Bernard-Alexandre's response :
Perfect! The Learning experience is excellent with Alex. He provides a great value for the money. I would recommend him to everyone who wants to learn french.
Perfect! Bernard has done a great job of helping me prepare for the DELF, with lots of inside information on what to expect from the test on top of everything else you'd expect from a great French tutor.
Perfect! Good learning pace with lots of supplemental educational resources for me to practice on my own
Perfect! Bernard-Alexandre does a great job making the lessons immersive and catering to my current skill level.
- Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad to see your progress and that the lessons are meeting your needs. Looking forward to continuing our work together!Bernard-Alexandre's response :
Perfect! Bernard clearly articulated his teaching style which l like!
- Thank you for your great feedback! I’m glad to hear that you like the way I’ve articulated my teaching style. It’s important to me that my students feel comfortable with the approach, and I’m happy to know it works for you.Bernard-Alexandre's response :
Perfect! I have been looking for the right french tutor for some time and believe that I have found the right one for me in Alex. He has a methodical way of teaching where he explains things carefully, thoroughly, and in order. This is very important to me as I need to understand why things work the way they do in a language. We use a french course textbook which includes grammar and exercises - a nice and easy way to prepare for the next lesson as well as to monitor one's own progress.
Alex is a very calm, patient, and encouraging teacher. I used to be intimidated by French pronunciation, but Alex has created a safe environment for me to learn and improve at my own pace. Having worked with many students over the years he is well aware of the issues people experience whilst learning a new language and I appreciate his nuanced tips and approach in making French more accessible to beginners like me.Perfect! He is great! I am feeling very confident now with my French!
