Reviews

Hermance is a magnificent teacher. I was so lucky to have found her, she’s exactly the person I was looking for to strengthen my study of French. She is a dedicated, skillful instructor, and not only are her private lessons highly enjoyable, her consistent and personalized re-caps allow the student to build vocabulary and grammar organically and naturally based on real communication and its patterns.

Jay, English Teacher

I have been teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) at the college and university level since 1999. As a language educator myself, I can be quite critical of instructors who have the linguistic knowledge required to teach a language but rarely the ability to impart that knowledge in a comprehensible and effective manner, much less the disposition or patience to deal with non-native speakers.

I love BoostmyFrench! Hermance Doyon is a patient, professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated French teacher. There is no substitute for learning a foreign language from a native speaker from both a listening and speaking perspective. Hermance brings expertise in french pronunciation, idiomatic expressions, and fascinating cultural insights into every lesson that only a native speaker can.

Kari, School Administrator

I have a solid base in French, but with few occasions to use the language in my day-to-day life, I have seen my level of fluency decline over years of disuse. With a group visiting our school from France this winter, I was inspired to dedicate some time to resuscitating my languishing skills.
