"Magali has been not only an amazing teacher but also very practical in guiding me in the process of preparing job applications in France. Apart from helping me with the content of the CV and cover letters in French, she even helped me select a CV format, which was up to date and suitable in applying for a job in finance industry in France… I would fully recommend her to any student/professional looking to ameliorate their level of French language skills."
Charitha, Master Student in Finance (Sri Lanka)
"I needed to improve my French quickly and efficiently for my job in Paris. With Magali I felt that I achieved real progress in such a short space of time. She is very thorough and takes a real interest in your needs; tailoring everything for you specifically. Recommended highly."
Harry, art advisor in a gallery (Great Britain)
"Magali has been my French teacher over the past two years. We have together to prepare for the DELF B1 and are now completing the preparations from the C1 level. Her teaching style is well-rounded and she provides the complete package; grammar, spelling, reading comprehension, speaking as well as teaching me fun French idioms to allow me to really integrate to the French culture. I am grateful to her for my level of French today and highly recommend her."
Natalie, Market Surveillance Analyst (USA)- on behalf of LSI World of Language school
"My professional activity for a multicultural company requires me to travel across several countries in Europe including France. Speaking French is necessary to communicate with the customer. I have little time to dedicate to French outside of the 6 hours monthly lessons, so I have to credit Magali with the amount of progress I have made. After very few sessions of basic grammar and phonetic exercises, I can express myself much more fluently in French. She has the talent and patience to kindly correct me, drive me, introduce new constructions, show me new language corners, and encourage me to make progress. And now the teacher has also become somebody to chat with. I’m not only learning French, but also learning about France, Paris, the way of life, the culture, the people, the politics, the social conflicts… I can talk to her about Spain and Spanish culture. It is a two-way communication channel."
Alberto, Business Development Manager Retail Southern Europe (Spain) - On behalf of Cervantes Ltd England
"Professional, yet fun and relaxed private French lessons in the comfort of my home. My tutor Mag is a wonderful teacher - qualified, experienced, professional, patient and very fun to have conversation with. I really enjoyed my lessons and I am also grateful that Mag could organize my private French lessons even when I have irregular schedules. In addition, I am very pleased and thankful that Mag could help we with the French translation of my CV and motivation letter which has contributed greatly to me getting my internship at a great establishment here in Paris. I am very impressed by the overall quality of my classes and as a happy student, I will definitely recommend to others!"
Evelyn, Cooker (Malaysia)
"In a few months with Magali, I've gone from being a near-total beginner to being able to hold a basic conversation in French. The great thing about Magali is that her lessons are always flexible and tailored to your needs. While she ensures I have a good understanding of grammar rules through written and listening exercises, she's always willing to tweak the lesson to my needs - from calling a plumber to sorting out problems with my internet. Her lessons are useful, dynamic and enjoyable. And they've erased all the bad memories of boring secondary-school French lessons!"
James, pilot (England)
"Magali has been and still is a wonderful teacher to me. My work is quite stressful and very demanding in terms of availability and Magali is always so flexible to make things work. She is really dedicated to her students and shows a lot of understanding of their problems and difficulties which enables her to adapt her approach and methodology to their needs. And when I happen to feel dispirited and like getting nowhere, she is very supportive and inventive to make me keep progressing. In short, Magali is just the perfect teacher for me!"
Jonathan, Engineer (England)
"As a person not liking language schools, I was searching for a teacher to study “tete a tete” to improve my poor french. Luckily I heard about Magali from a friend. She is a serious teacher having empathy with the foreign language learners. Her flexible way of teaching is exactly to me. Actually she balances practice and grammar in a joyful manner. Supporting material is either with her or available in a few hours by e-mail. My major difficulty in french was not understanding what people say to me. After several classes with Magali I showed a big progress. Now I feel more comfortable while communicating people in daily life."
Ayse, Commercial Counselor (Turkey)
"I have to be honest – I’m not a natural linguist and didn’t want to attend formal classes - but I am here in Paris so I wanted to learn to speak and understand French and I am delighted to have found Magali as a teacher. She is adaptable, covers all levels, is easy to follow and understand and very friendly. Yes, she does all that grammar stuff and knows all the things that Anglophones never learn at school but for me the best thing is that she fits all of that around topical conversations and interesting details about France and French life. She has given me confidence and helped me to improve enormously. Highly recommended."
Anna, Nurse (England)
"Magali was the best teacher I could have hoped for---always focused and prepared, but never boring. Grammar or vocabulary exercises that she gave me were tailored to my needs and taught me a lot. Magali offers not only well-prepared and effective language lessons, but also valuable insight into French culture."
Mary Jane, retiree, former social worker (USA)
"We felt an amazing improvement after about three months of classes with Magali. She has a sensitivity in understanding our needs, taught with clarity and dynamics, turning the lessons enjoyable and pleasurable. Great teacher and very nice person!"
Rafaela and Ricardo, Software consultants (Brazil)
"As someone completely new to French, Magali has been a tremendous help to me. She has taught me the basics of French at a steady pace with plenty of variety in the lessons. She puts a lot of thought into each class, is always very prepared and is also a great resource for any questions I have about life in Paris. I travel a lot and the flexibility of her schedule is a perfect fit with mine."
Evan, artist in interactive art (USA)
"Magali offers me exactly what I was looking for : a French native teacher that helps me improve my verbal skills and refresh the French grammar. What sets Magali apart from other tutors are her valuable lessons about French culture since the international environment I work in doesn’t represent French culture."
Milou, Senior Analyst – Renewable Energy (Netherlands)
"I had been experiencing great difficulty in my search for a reliable French instructor and came across the french4all site. Magali (my instructor), proved to have all the aptitudes of an excellent teacher: Reliable, patient, and always prepared for lessons. I could already speak Italian and Magali found a way to use my existing skills in English and Italian to assist me in learning French. There was flexibility in the timing and location of the sessions, and I am most impressed with the personal and professional service that I have received from french4all. I would certainly recommend them to anyone wishing to take language training."
Mario, Trading Technology Analyst (South Africa)
"I cannot recommend Magali highly enough. I’d like to think that I rank among her most advanced students and I am completely satisfied with our work together. In group settings, I have found it to be difficult to impossible to receive just the right level of French instruction when one is at an advanced level. With Magali, there is no such problem. I feel like I am receiving the tools with which to make progress."
Julie, retired attorney (USA)
"Magali is a more than fantastic teacher. Her patience and cheerfulness make learning fun, even at an advanced age. I still have a long way to go until I will have mastered French but with Magali at my side I know that I will succeed."
Kerstin, (Germany)
"As I was not complete beginner in French and the general courses offered by language schools didn’t suit me, I decided for one to one private lectures. The classes are tailored to my needs and wishes and the advancements in my verbal and written French are clearly visible after each lesson."
"Ked?e som u? ovládala základy francúzskeho jazyka a všeobecné kurzy v ponuke jazykových škôl mi nevyhovovali, rozhodla som sa vyskúšat súkromné hodiny s lektorom. Bolo to dobré rozhodnutie. Ucebný plán je zostrojený podla mojich potrieb a návrhov a umo?nuje mi rýchlo napredovat."
Martina, Statistician (Slovaquie)
"Always professional, always prepared, Magali is a pleasure to take lessons from. Whether you want to improve your grammar, your comprehension, or just have an opportunity to speak French, Magali provides a relaxed and educational atmosphere."
Paula, Research Officer (Argentina)
"Magali is a wonderful tutor with a real gift for explaining even the most complicated French grammar in simple and easy to understand terms. I highly recommend her if you are lo ing to advance your French language abilities to the next level."
Tom, Strategic Consultant (UK)
"In a search to push my French to the next level I found Magali who was suggested to me by a friend. Right away, she developed a lesson strategy to focus on my weak areas and increase my technical vocabulary. Innovatively, Magali used music and cooking, two things I love, that motivated me to study French on my own. Not only does she make learning fun, she is also flexible and really cares about her students, which can be seen through her emails that supplement our lessons. I would strongly recommend Magali to anyone who is looking for a dedicated instructor to help them improve their French."
Liz, Biomedical Engineer (USA)
"Magali is very instrumental in my son, Koji's, ability to learn french. He was struggling in school here in Paris until he started having tutorial lessons at home with her. She is a true professional and dedicated in teaching. She has a very kind, happy, encouraging and calm nature. I am very pleased to see such a rapid progress in my son's confidence in speaking french. Her method seems to be working like magic on him."
Koji and his mum Cheryl, Furniture Designer (Japan)
"Our 7 year old daughter was at a French/English bilingual school, but was very quiet in class and we felt she needed additional support outside of the classroom. Her lessons with Magali have been a great success as our daughter adores Magali, and really looks forward to her lesson. We soon saw a dramatic improvement in our daughter's confidence and in her enthusiasm for speaking and learning French. Magali's sessions with our daughter are a fun and stress-free chance for her to practice and learn French in a one-on-one context. Magali has recently started one-on-one sessions with our youngest daughter, aged 5. We would recommend her unreservedly."
Deborah and Paul, Lawyers (Australia)
"FrenchForAll is a terrific opportunity to learn all aspects of the French language and culture. Magali provides a well-rounded curriculm that makes each class interesting and different, it is not all grammar. She has the ability to custom-design the course for your level and your interests. She mixes reading, dialogue comprehension and current events along with grammar and speaking. I look forward to each class with her and my french improves with each week!"
Christine, Cosmetic Products Development Consultant (USA)
"When I first arrived in Paris to work, I was struggling to find a personal tutor until I got in contact with Magali. I started with her as an complete beginner, I only knew a few words in French. She has managed to create a programme based on my initial requests of the things I wanted achieve by having lessons. She has also been able to adapt the programme depending my progress, focusing on any topics that I am weak at and showing a lot of patience along the way. Her flexibility with the time and location of the lessons has also been greatly appreciated."
Mohammed, Software Consultant (United Kingdom)
"Magali is an excellent teacher. She is bright, perceptive, and imaginative. She quickly determines your level of competence and individually tailors her curriculum to meet your needs. She is patient and fosters a very supportive atmosphere for the learning process. And as if that were not enough, she is warm and caring with a delightful sense of humor. You definitely want her to be your teacher."
Joan, Psychologist (USA)
