French Lessons for Professionals
” Agnes was an incredible French tutor. She created content that was tailored towards the business I work in (the fashion industry) and we reviewed many tenses that I had been struggling with. She helped me to break bad French speaking habits and form new better habits for learning. It was a wonderful experience and I will be continuing as I infiltrate myself in the workplace here in France. Merci Agnes.“
