Learn the language of your loved ones

Clarisse is the best! I was looking for a teacher to help me prep for the DELF A1. I didn’t have much time and wasn’t always the best prepared for our sessions but she was so patient and could always adjust our lessons accordingly. There was a last minute change in the timing of the oral section of the exam – 4 days earlier than expected. I was quite panicked but Clarisse squeezed me into her busy schedule, including a couple of evening time slots. I received 98.5% on my exam – couldn’t have done it without Clarisse

フランス語の勉強が続けられているのは彼女のおかげです。彼女は寄り添って授業を進めてくれますし、彼女の人柄でいつも授業は明るく楽しいです。元々は日本のフランス語学校で彼女から習っていましたが、スペインに行ってしまってからも、どうしても彼女から習いたく、今はバルセロナからオンラインでプライベートレッスンをしてもらっています。(original)

It is thanks to Clarisse if I am still learning French to this day. She is a great guide through the learning, and her bright personality always makes the lessons fun. I originally took lessons with Clarisse at a French school in Japan, but after she moved to Spain, I really wanted to keep learning from her. (translation)

Mid last year, I was on the search for a French teacher after visiting my French boyfriend’s family. I knew after this first visit, it was time to dust off my French books and get back to basics. After asking on a Facebook group for recommendations, Clarisse had sent me a message and invited me to look at her Instagram.

We had a quick introductory chat and I knew right away she was the right teacher for me! She had told me one of her specialities was getting those with French speaking relatives, in-laws or partners having conversations. Not only was that exactly what I was looking for but knowing she had experience, put me at such ease.

Clarisse asked me what topics I would like to cover, how I would like to learn and where I would like to get to. I was pretty open to what I wanted my classes to look like but I know she would have followed my specific requests if I had any. I did ask for recommendations of a grammar book so I could refresh all the basic structures. She recommended a particular book that she also has access to. This meant that Clarisse was able to set me specific weekly tasks based on the topics we were doing in class- perfect!

Clarisse has lessons planned in advance on a shared document so you can easily follow along and even take a look back and previous lessons if you need a refresher.

Learning languages can be scary but I have never felt under pressure or nervous about joining my classes. If anyone is looking for a professional but fun and relaxed way to learn French, I could not recommend Clarisse enough! From speaking, to listening and reading, Clarisse will have all your French needs covered!

I have learned so much in my classes with Clarisse. She paces the class just right so you feel challenged but not overwhelmed. So many other classes you just read from a text book but in his classes Clarisse asks questions and gets the students to respond which is both fun and promotes faster learning. She is patient and eager to help. I’m thrilled to have found her class!

日本の語学学校時代からお世話になっている先生で、彼女とのレッスンを通してDELF B2に合格できる力をつけることができました。日々の丁寧なレッスンに加えて、自分があまり理解できていないポイントに重点をあてた宿題などを用意してくれます。B2の受験前には丁寧にライティング の添削をしてくれました。リモートであってもフランス語の力が確実に身に付く楽しい授業が受けられると思います。

I have been studying with Clarisse since her time at a French school in Japan and was able to pass the DELF B2 examination with the help of her lesson. During her lesson, she provides detailed instructions and prepares homework based on my weak points. In preparation for the DELF B2 exam, she improved my writing skills by correcting my test practices. Even if the lesson are online, it is enjoyable.
