Individual lessons
-
The lessons can be personalized and reflect exactly what you want or need.
-
Your lesson time can be scheduled around your life and work.
-
You can work on sensitive work-related material that you don’t want to share with a class.
Group lessons
-
Educational material adapted to your personal goals.

Learning in a group can take the pressure off of you.
-
Interacting with your classmate is highly effective for your language development.

It's my firm belief that ,Miss Sofia is an incredible teacher!!!Not only she teaches you how to communicate in French for example, but she focuses also in the civilisation .So, you have the opportunity to learn also , about the country and the problems that people are facing, the art and the culture .Generally, you learn really interesting stuff that in reality are incorporated in the language.A language in not only about grammar and vocabulary and Miss Sofia helps you understand that.She is really meticulous but a very cordial person too!!!

I highly recommend learning French with Sofia! She personalised the classes to my individual needs and interests and gave me material from various sources to keep things interesting and fun. Also, her positive energy is contagious

Sophia is an excellent teacher and a wonderful person. She likes her teaching procedure to include poems, videos and articles, in french of course, which makes the lesson amusing but also teaches you many things about the french culture as well. She is very passionate about her work and she will help you understand and love the french language!

I have tried this unique way of learning french and my progress was rapid.In just a few months i got prepared to give my exams and i succeded to get a diploma of B2-upper Intermediate level. The procedure of learning was very interesting by reading articles, watcing videos or even commenting books, so you have the ability of understanding grammar and syntax by reading or watching a complete article or video. I suggest without a doubt this way of learning!!!

J'ai commencé à apprendre le français avec Sofia il y a deux mois et regardez comment j'écris! Je suis très contente, parce que je sais que je peux dire déjà plusieurs choses en français, car Sofia insiste beaucoup sur les cours oraux! Merci beaucoup, Sofia! Je pensais que le français était très difficile, mais tu rends les choses difficiles faciles!

After 2 months of French lessons with sofia I can say that these lessons are like "gym". You don't really want to go because you know that it is going to be hard, but after the class you really feel wonderful. Incredibly interesting texts, exercises, discussions, lessons.. I feel really grateful and very happy that I decided to trust her. I highly recommend it if you want to save time, money and energy by putting your forces, concentration and love into practice!
