Learn French with a friendly native speaker

I've been working with Helene on my French for about 8 months and it's been brilliant. She makes it feel fun and easy. Especially important for me is that I know I learn best if I feel I am doing well (like a sort of top of the class feeling) and she is always so enthusiastic about my progress and is able to put into words how much I've improved and what I'm doing really well and it's this level of encouragement that has really spurred me on. Also, ok I'm not French but, I like the fact that Helene has a properly spoken French. By contrast if I was teaching English to a French person I don't think I could say the same about my spoken first language. I highly recommend Helene as a tutor and have seen my vocab, phraseology and grammar improve very quickly.
