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!

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
