They testify :

“I have really enjoyed the French course with Nina so far! It’s great to be in a smaller-sized class, because we are able to get individualized feedback during each class, especially while going over homework assignments. I have enjoyed that Nina also adjusts the lesson material and difficulty to our level. She makes sure to open up for questions throughout the class as well, which is helpful because sometimes it’s difficult to interrupt mid-lesson.” Myh S. Février 2023
