Here's what some participants had to say about their experience in a recent "Power Hour" course:

"This has been an amazing learning experience and I am only halfway through! It is exactly what I needed. This course has filled in so many blanks and given me a path to follow. You are a great teacher. You explain things in a way that I can understand, and you repeat things just what I need to hear them again."

- Marie, Power Hour November 2024

"It was very nice to have the flexibility of signing in at convenient times. New vocabulary is always a plus and the very in-depth explanations. And I learned quite a bit from the participants' comments as well, especially those few ways to better remember a grammar point."

- Classis, Power Hour November 2024

"I found your teaching method, i.e. learning through examples to be a very powerful technique. I also really appreciated how you would pick out little bits in the sentence as reminders e.g., "Oh we need an "y" here" / "Ce que" instead of "que" etc. At times, it felt as if you were prescient because I'd be thinking of why there was a "de" instead of "des" in the sentence and immediately, you'd explain why."

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.
