Testimonials
Roxane has helped me immensely with my French over my senior years of school, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to learn or improve their French. I constantly practiced HSC-type tasks and our lessons pushed me to challenge myself and gain confidence, especially in my speaking and authenticity with the language. I'm very grateful that she helped me achieve my HSC mark of 95 and overall, I'm very thankful to Roxane and her support!

I started learning French with Roxane three and a half years ago when I was in year 9 from scratch as a hobby. Roxane is a great teacher and takes care in her lessons so much so that I was able to complete the French Continuers and French extension HSC course in year 11 and twelve and achieved a band 6 in French continuers for the HSC. Without Roxane, this would not have been possible as I did not take French as a school subject in year 9 and 10. Lessons with Roxane are always fun as she cares about the material she teaches and tailors it to each student which helps ignite a passion for French!

I have been learning French with Roxane for 3 years with the aim of becoming good enough to sit the DELF B2 exam.
During this time, Roxane has been very patient and encouraging with me and it is due to her exacting standards that I recently achieved my goal with a result of 91%, the highest of all the exam candidates. I was delighted with this result and now feel even more motivated to continue learning! - Alison -
Roxane is a lovely tutor who is a native French speaker and so has a wealth of knowledge about the subject. She helped me gain a Band 6 (score of 95) in French Continuers in the HSC. I enjoyed her teaching style and how she was always patient and willing to go above and beyond for her students :-) - Sanja - HSC Continuers -

"Roxane is a gifted teacher with a wonderful ability to make a lesson feel like an interesting and enjoyable conversation with a friend - in French! She perfectly tailors lessons to your level of ability at the same time as stretching you a little further each time. She is very patient and warm with a lovely sense of humour - Janet -
Roxane is a great and patient french tutor. I always enjoyed classes and she helped me greatly improve my French as I was able to practice not only my grammar, writing and listening, but also practice speaking french on a regular basis and increase in confidence. Being of french origin, she not only corrected my mistakes, but also provided other ways of expressing my ideas in a more French manner, giving me alternative phrases one would actually use in this language. Thus I learnt not only about the actual language itself, but also about the french manner of speaking and expressing ideas. Roxane was also very available and helpful before exams, as it was easy to schedule extra lessons, and she is very flexible to the individual needs of the student. She is a professional and patient teacher and I would highly recommend her to anyone of any age and level (whether beginner, intermediate or advanced) who seeks to learn or improve in French!

Roxane is a tutor with extensive knowledge of the french language. She has a profound understanding of grammatical structures and pronunciation. She is also able to effectively communicate this knowledge in her lessons. She has helped me through hsc french continuers, especially in writing. She has been helpful in providing immediate feedback on work and written explanations and examples. - Jovita, HSC student -
A fine sense of humour is one of Roxane's many attributes as a French teacher. It has probably been as much of a benefit to her as it has been to me as a very mature-age student (56) over the past two years I have been attending her lessons. She has a unique ability to make her lessons fun and interesting despite the renowned complexity of French grammar. The hard work begins when I get home and have to complete my homework to prepare for the next lesson! Roxane's humour is built on understanding, compassion and kindness, and together these qualities have helped to accelerate my progress as a French speaker from a beginner to intermediate-level. - Liam -
Roxane taught my daughter for 3 years and she was the best French teacher we ever had. Highly recommend!!! - Vickie -
I decided to take French lessons because I wanted to refresh and improve my French language skills. I have previously studied French in high school, however I have not had the chance to practice a lot throughout my university years and now my working life. I would like to continue learning and challenging my mind by learning new languages. I was hoping to get my fluency back in conversation and to refresh my memory of the tricky French grammar. A lot of my mistakes arise from not recalling correct uses of different tenses. Throughout my lessons with Roxanne, I have gained my confidence back when speaking French and our lessons gave me a regular time to set aside for achieving my goal. I liked how Roxane uses a wide range of tools to engage me as a student: she would give me a children's book to read each week, she gave me grammar exercises to work through, introduced me to various French movies and songs I never would have known about otherwise, and only talked French to me, even when explaining things. She is conscientious, fun and a great teacher! I would definitely recommend Roxane to others as she is very flexible and able to help you achieve whatever specific goal you may have regarding learning French. Her lessons were structured but casual and relaxed enough that I did not feel like I was back behind a desk again. It was great to look forward to her lesson, even after a long day at work! - Sharolt -
