Welcome! Bienvenue!

IT’S TIME for French lessons!

This is the time. Yeah. Over and over again, you’ve been making that promise to yourself to take French lessons. Your latest decision on this matter was in January, you remember? Well, you’ve delayed it enough. OK. I understand. Time is not always on your side. Too many priorities, too many obligations and so few hours in your day. Endless errands to run after work. Soccer games to take your kids to. And those office meetings that seem to stretch to no end.

So, you’ve tried the French apps. Helpful but insufficient. You’ve tried the French course CDs. Ads for that famous and unavoidable brand sounded so promising. You thought that would be your French language lifeline. How disappointing. Results have been so slim after such an inordinate amount of time with those recordings. You did learn a few things here and there. But any progress is so slow. And you’re not even too sure how to pronounce so many of the sounds. Added to that the fact that you need a steely will to keep you motivated. You know you need a French teacher. Where to turn?

Well, I do have something for you. Yeah. Some good news, finally. You won’t need those endless recordings. You won’t have to stress out on getting to the French language school on time. Yep. No commuting and traffic headaches. Actually, you won’t even have to leave your home. Right there in the comfort of your bedroom. It is easy and convenient. Yet, you are going to learn French according to the highest standards of modern language teaching. This course is called “Serious French….But relax!!” The title says exactly what you will be doing. And how.

Right over the internet, I will take you by the hand and carefully steer you through the intricacies of that beautiful, but not so easy a language. I will work with you effectively so you gain the confidence to express yourself in French. You will have me at your side to clarify those nuances that can be confusing and do require a French teacher who is a native speaker. More than twenty years experience teaching students of all levels, from elementary to adults. This is an assurance that you came to the right place at Serious French…But Relax!

Frantz Présumé, French Teacher

 

WHAT MY STUDENTS ARE SAYING:

“My experience as a French student of Frantz’s was excellent. We worked through a French Maigret story by Simenon and had free conversation as well. Frantz took the time to explain difficult-to-understand passages and phrases and idioms, and gave sensitive, nuanced explanations of the same. His help was enormous.

I very much enjoyed my time studying with Frantz, and also continue to participate in a French conversation group that Frantz facilitates, and benefit from and enjoy that very much.”           Matthew W.

“Frantz Presume is a wonderful, patient, and very precise teacher. I contacted him at the suggestion of a friend for a series of French lessons prior to a trip to France. Although I had never taken lessons via internet before, I found the process both convenient and extremely effective. I spoke with Frantz, he corrected my mistakes, he used a split screen to show spelling and grammar details. In fact, I found my concentration level was higher using Skype than it sometimes is in a classroom. Frantz is a kind man who listened to what I wanted from the lessons and adapted his strategy accordingly. I felt very at ease speaking with him. H knows how to engage students and put them at ease, both essential for studying a language. Really, I would recommend Frantz and this this method of learning to anyone. I hope to continue my studies with him for some time. Doing it from the convenience of home makes it very easy.”           Stephen M.

“I feel EXTREMELY lucky to have found Frantz as my French tutor. His patience, gentle humor and deep caring for his students is obvious from the start, and his encouragement and investment in a student’s success makes him a pleasure to work with, even when something is difficult to comprehend or master.

I’ve taken many language lessons over the years on line, via Skype and in person (though not in French), and Frantz’s rates are competitive, and offer a lot of bang for the buck.

I simply cannot say enough about this wonderful teacher, and though I have to go on hiatus due to work, I can’t wait to resume our lessons as soon as possible.”         Marjie A.

“I take French classes on Skype with Frantz, and I have been working with him for about 3 weeks now. We meet twice a week. Frantz is an excellent instructor: he explains grammar very well and gives good examples to illustrate his points. Whenever we read passages, he explains why a certain usage of a word or sentence is appropriate in this context, and such explanations are very useful for someone who is trying to learn the nuances of French. He also helps me with my pronunciation by recording audios for me to practice. My speaking, writing, and reading have improved quickly under his guidance. 
Overall, Frantz is a patient instructor who will go out of his way to customize his classes so you can focus on what you need to work on. He is very funny too! I strongly recommend him as a French tutor.”        Shirley W.
