Top French Coach in Montreal | Cours de français | 1:1 and Group Classes | TEF · TCF · Immigration Quebec | For Professionals | B2 in Under a Year | Dialogue Method | 10+ Years

Perfect! It was just the first getting-to-know-you meeting, but I have a good feeling about it. Princilya took the time to listen to what I wanted and to determine where my French level is at, and how best to approach my lessons going forward. She's also quite friendly and approachable. Looking forward to our next lesson!

Perfect! I was the type of person who could have hesitated. Here is what private coaching solved that apps/classes couldn’t. And, most importantly, she actually delivered what she promised.

If you are hesitating about getting a private French tutor, especially because you already use apps, watch videos, study grammar, take classes, or are preparing for the TEF/TCF, I think there is something important you should understand.

There is a huge difference between "learning French" and having someone who can actually "see" your French.

An app cannot stop you in the middle of a sentence and tell you exactly what went wrong. A video cannot notice the same mistake you have made five times and realize that there is a pattern behind it. A textbook cannot hear that you know the grammar intellectually but are struggling to use it naturally when you speak. And none of those things can adapt the lesson, in real time, around what you actually need.

That is what made working with Princilya different for me.

When I first read her profile, one statement stood out to me: her goal was not simply to teach French, but to build independence. After working with her for six weeks, I can say that she followed through on that promise.

And not just that one.

The structure, the personalized attention, the corrections during conversation, the focus on actually being able to use what I was learning, all of it was there.

Within those six weeks, I became noticeably more comfortable speaking French. My French became more structured and organized. Instead of simply accumulating more vocabulary and grammar rules, I started getting better at actually putting the language together.

Other people have even commented on how much my French has improved.

One of the biggest reasons, in my opinion, is the instant feedback.

There is simply no replacement for making a mistake while speaking and having a knowledgeable teacher catch it immediately, explain it, and help you correct it before that mistake becomes automatic. Nothing I have experienced with an app comes close to that feedback loop.

And Princilya delivers that consistently.

What I appreciated even more is that the goal never felt like making me dependent on her. The goal was to make me better, to help me understand my own weaknesses, organize what I knew, and gradually become more capable of functioning independently in French.

So if you are reading her profile while debating whether private tutoring is worth it, I would look at it this way:

If your problem is simply that you need more French content, there are thousands of free resources online.

But if you have been studying and still find yourself hesitating when you speak, repeating the same mistakes, struggling to organize your sentences, wondering what you should actually work on next, or preparing for something important like the TEF or TCF where your weaknesses are going to matter, personalized feedback is a completely different tool and game changer.

That is where Princilya has been exceptionally valuable for me.

I can only speak from my own experience, but after six weeks with her, I can confidently say that what she promised on her profile and what I experienced as her student matched.

She said she wanted to build independence.

She did.

She promised personalized coaching.

She delivered it.

She promised real dialogue and corrections that help you actually use the language.

She delivered that too.

I started these lessons wanting to become better at French. I came out of these six weeks not only better, but more comfortable, more structured, and more capable of continuing to improve on my own.

For me, that is exactly what a great teacher is supposed to do.

I would recommend Princilya without hesitation.

Perfect! I highly recommend her to anyone preparing for the TEF Canada exam. She is patient, supportive and truly dedicated. She helped me improved my writing and speaking by explaining the mistakes I have been doing. That's to her continues support and guidance I finally achieved my TEF score.
