Leigh is so knowledgeable of the French language and I have found this has been so helpful while I begin to learn French. She is accommodating (we have found a nice spot that is comfortable for us both to have our lessons) and easy to communicate with. We are moving along with the lessons and she is very good about detecting when I'm not truly grasping something and finds another way of reviewing or explaining. I truly look forward to my lessons each week.

I can't wait for my next lesson. Not only is Leigh helping me rediscover the French language but helping to prepare me for my trip

From my first lesson with Leigh I can tell she has a great deal of knowledge of the French language but also the culture as she has spent some time Europe. I think this will be extremely valuable when learning from her. She also offered a wide range of programs in order to cater for different peoples needs. For example, Business French, Advanced, or beginner, or a combination. Her method of teaching encourages you to speak the language right from the start and the material I used was very helpful especially for pronunciation. I look forward to continuing in order to achieve my French language goals.
