Here's what some participants had to say about their experience in last year's summer sessions:
"I really enjoyed this course! There were a lot of nuances in French that this course will help me clarify to my students. Not only did I enjoy the grammar topics, but I also enjoyed the various new expressions that I either had learned a long time ago and forgot or had not yet learned. Merci encore une fois et j'ai hâte de commencer la deuxième partie!!"
- Jacqueline, Power Hour July 2025
"I absolutely loved this course! It was incredibly thorough and informative. Going into the course I thought I knew a lot about each topic, but what made it so worthwhile for me was that you went into such great detail with your explanations about the trickiest concepts. I learned many new things in grammar and vocabulary, and I loved that you used current vocab phrases, some of which were new to me. The way you explain concepts is very easy to follow, and inspirational to me as a teacher. I feel like you have helped me come up with easier ways to explain certain concepts. I will absolutely recommend this course to my French colleagues!!"
- Karen, Power Hour July 2025
"I loved this workshop! The format of a daily focus with the Power Hour and the Practice Cards was a very effective way to focus in on the topics. And of course, your clear, concise and in depth answers to our questions, with detailed examples really made this class a gem! I truly feel that I have learned quite a bit that I will be able to share with my students! I look forward to Part 2!"

Salut. Je suis Jennifer. I've been teaching French professionally for over 30 years. I have a BA in English and French, and an MA in French language and literature. My lessons and resources are comprehensive and structured in such a way that English speakers can understand and make sense of the French language while having fun, feeling relaxed, and with no stress. I know what it's like to learn French as an English speaker. I understand the difficulties. I know what you need, and I know how to explain it. Teaching French is my passion.
