Bonjour ! My name is Catherine, I am from Paris, France, and I have been living in the US for 14 years. I always loved languages, and studied several of them (I have a Master's Degree in English, Spanish and a BA in Japanese). Learning languages and meeting people from all around the world through my studies and travels, I realized that what I wanted to do was sharing my knowledge of a language very close to my heart, my own : French ! So I finalized my University courses with a Master in Te...

Sunny S. from Rancho Cucamonga, CA

She is perfect! Very very organized and to the point. She made me feel like a student in school. I loved it.


Kathleen A. from Riverside, CA

Catherine is so patient with us "beginner students." We are learning a lot, and find the time speeds by. She has been so nice to work within our busy schedules.


Sean C. from Huntington Beach, CA

We enlisted Catherine's help for our son who had received a notice that he was not doing well in French 3 with just a few weeks to go in the semester. He was able to increase his score-- with a B on the final! -- after just 7 hours of working with her over just 5 weeks. Just wish we had hired her earlier!

Catherine is an excellent French teacher/tutor. She engages me in French conversation easily and is very flexible Yet makes certain that I understand the points of the lesson. She speaks at just the right speed for me and uses vocabulary that I can follow. She constantly challenges my knowledge by asking questions in French. Her insistence on speaking almost no English is extremely helpful in forcing me to "think" in French. I am VERY pleased with our work and hope to continue working with Catherine to improve and broaden my French conversational skill and use of grammar.


Joe M. from Yorba Linda, CA

Catherine is a very talented tutor and our daughter, who is a senior in high school taking AP French, has had much success learning from her! Great teacher, highly responsive, and connected very well personally with our daughter.


Keri E. from Anaheim, CA

We are just learning French for a visit and Catherine did such a great job in getting us ready. We can order off a menu, ask for directions, go shopping, tell time and use the numbers. She was very patient in teaching us!! Catherine even provided audio for us to listen to so we could continue to learn even when she was not with us!! We had a great time learning French!! We recommend Catherine- hands down!! She was great to work with!!


Teresa N. from La Habra, CA

Catherine is perhaps one of the best educators I have ever had the privilege to learn from. Catherine teaches in a manner that allows me to fully comprehend the subject and retain the information. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable on subject matters discussed in the book, but she adds to it, allowing one to be well rounded not only in the French language, but French culture as well. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to have Catherine teach them.


Rae C. from Concord, MA

She is knowledgeable, offers good tips to understand tricky parts of the French language - pronouns and other grammatical elements.


Andy L. from Omaha, NE

Catherine did a great job of meeting me at my skill level. She pointed out areas that I could improve and let me try to correct my own mistakes when I made them.


SCOTT Y. from Atlantic Highlands, NJ

Catherine is indeed Patient...Friendly and Professional !! I've been working with her for a few months on a weekly basis and she is wonderful!! Merci Beaucoup!!


Janene P. from Riverside, CA

My daughter had gone all the way through French I and received an A throughout the year. We switched schools, she enrolled in French II and my daughter was completely lost. She was not taught enough from her previous school. My daughter barely passed her first semester of French II (C-). Catherine came in and started from scratch. Although this was the first lesson I am extremely impressed, with her knowledge, her dedication, and how easily she connected with my daughter. I could have gone with a tutor closer and less expensive, but glad I chose her. I have decided to keep her on throughout the remainder of the school year once a week until school is out. Very happy client


Adrienne T. from Temecula, CA

After a disastrous immersion program in France, I hadn't spoken French out loud in a year... But Catherine gave me back my confidence! I had so much fun relearning my grammar and laughing with her. She has a good sense of humor and was just a cool lady to chat with. She corrected my French as needed (which was a lot) but in a manner that boosted my confidence and encouraged me to talk more. Can't wait until our next session!


Angelica I. from Norco, CA

Catherine is so patient and nice, and she's a such great teacher! I've made so much progress through her lessons, 5/5 stars :)
