I believe that memorization works better through intriguing material that suits the level and age of each student.

I look forward to meeting you to access the wonderful and rich experience of French language acquisition!

Excellent tutor for reaching your French goals!

Désirée is an amazing tutor. I connected with her to become fluent in French, which is my husband's first language. Her thorough knowledge and extensive resources make each lesson easy to follow and appropriately challenging. Each week she sends activities to work on in between our lessons that are tailored to my French goals. She also provides me with songs, books, and vocabulary to bring French home to my toddlers. I cannot recommend her enough!

Wonderful Teacher! Every lesson is better than the last!

Words can’t express how absolutely thankful I am we found Ms. Desiree! My daughter has made amazing progress, and she can’t wait to get to class. My daughter dreams of attending her 10th grade year in France. And Desiree is the perfect teacher to help my daughter realize her dream!

Desiree is one of the cheerful tutors I have ever met. I am going to take DELFA exam soon. Desiree helped me a few lessons already and showed me a few helpful tips and tricks. I am more confident now. ^-^

Great first session!

Scheduling my first French session with Desiree was terrific. She created a structured plan and was encouraging and supportive, which did wonders to calm my nerves as it had been some time since I studied with a French teacher.

Erin, 40 lessons with Desiree

Absolutely the Best!

My daughter almos dropped out school because she had 30 assignments due within 4 days. It is a web based college class with no lecture. She has taken French before, but it has been several years. After meeting with Desiree for two sessions she was able to complete the assignments on time and received an A on all of them. Thank you for your help Desiree!

Excellent French tutor

My daughter is taking French online and really struggling with learning a language that way. Desiree was able to get her scheduled almost immediately and was a huge help to her. She obviously loves the language and was very skilled at identifying where my daughter was struggling and quickly forming a plan to help her.
