What our BSSSS French Students Think About Learnmate

Real stories from real learners who've boosted confidence, improved grades and experienced a lasting difference.

Reviews rating

Rita is a vibrant and inspiring French tutor. Her flexibility with my needs as a year 12 french student has allowed me to improve in listening, speaking, reading and writing simultaneously. She provokes me to explain and consolidate my new understanding and she puts an immense amount of effort into the preparation of each lesson. The most valuable part of my lessons with Rita is the way in which she writes down all the questions I have regarding grammar structures and creates her own tasks to specifically target my weaknesses.

Lise is a brilliant teacher. I always look forward to her classes as we always have a lot of fun together. Since first going to her my French speaking, writing and listening skills have greatly improved. She knows the VCE requirements which is very helpful and is able to adapt to my learning needs. Anyone, at any level of French, would highly benefit from Lise’s assistance as she caters for all.

It has been 3 weeks since my son has been tutored by Charan for French (year 8). My son has been enjoying it and Charan has been excellent in his communication and teaching. He is prompt, very responsive over emails and SMS as well which is an added bonus. He has been reviewing the school material and provides guidance during the sessions. Charan has provided regular feedback as well.

Karuna has been such a blessing for us. She has forged a wonderful relationship with our son, and has re-ignited an interest in French. She has readily taken in the challenge of guiding our son to be VCE ready and his confidence has grown immensely. Cannot rate her highly enough. Thanks Karuna.
