Mia
I’m thrilled with the lessons with Emma and will definitely continue studying only with her. I’ve had various teachers before — school instructors and experienced translators, but none provided what Emma does. Those lessons felt like a waste because I wasn’t making progress. Emma expertly combines speaking, listening, reading, and grammar, making each session both useful and engaging. In just one hour, we cover many aspects of the language, and I can feel my skills improving with every lesson. Huge thanks for having such a professional on your team!
Arthur
This is the best school I’ve ever studied at! Lessons with Emma are easy and engaging, and I see progress with every session. I previously had a problem with a lack of speaking practice, but at Toronto French, I get it consistently. Because of this, my French level has risen from A1 to A2, and I am very grateful for that. Thank you!
Alice
I’d like to thank Toronto French and my teacher, Rose! I’ve been studying for over a year now, and during this time we’ve reached the A2 level. I really appreciate the flexibility to choose lesson times — it’s very convenient with my schedule.
The lessons always have a friendly, supportive atmosphere, and Rose’s explanations are clear and well-structured, making the learning process both comfortable and effective. Thank you for the professionalism and attentive approach!
Darina
Huge thanks to your school for the support throughout my studies! Thanks to you, I passed the DELF exam, and the feeling is just indescribable!
Jonathan
At 63 years old, I finally decided to take up French and chose your school. It was one of the best decisions of my life! The teaching here is truly inspiring: the classes are engaging, and every lesson reveals something new. A huge thank you to Toronto French and my teacher.

Speak French as easily as 1000+ of our students do!
