TESTIMONIALS

My sister and I have been taking French lessons with Penelope. We hope to travel to France and want to be conversational and comfortable speaking the language. Penelope is an experienced and patient teacher. She makes learning French fun and is teaching us not only the language but the special nuances of the French culture which will serve us well when we go to France. I’d recommend her classes to anyone who needs a brush up or wants to learn French from an excellent teacher.
