I wanted to learn a little French before my trip to Paris. I needed something virtual but wanted live classes with an instructor. After researching, I found Top French Class. I contacted the website, and Pascale replied within an hour. She was the first to respond and the most personable. We set up an intro Zoom so she could understand what I was looking for. It was apparent that Pascale wasn’t just teaching French; she was French. I wound up booking eight private classes on the spot. She customized the content to what I was looking for. Pascale had me review the unique sounds that certain letter combinations make. We reviewed reading menus and ordering food, getting around Paris via the Metro, and how to ask if I may take photographs. (Est-ce que je peux prendre des photos dans le musée?) I also wanted to learn the French alphabet, review numbers, and tell the time. Top French Class is excellent. Pascale is an excellent teacher, and I am thrilled to have...
Read morePascale has been a blessing in my life the past 5 years. My husband, knowing of my passion for France and its language, found her for me when we were planning a trip to France. Since I was 72 and I had had French in high school and in college, my French was pretty shaky. Several months after starting lessons with Pascale, COVID hit and our trip was canceled.

Then, realizing we would not be able to travel due to health issues, I still did not quit my lessons. Pascale made them so entertaining. She not only succeeded in getting me over my fear of speaking a new language but I was able to converse with her on many subjects. It was great fun learning again at my...
Read moreHappy 50th bday to me! Like so many people, it has been my lifelong dream to learn French. While I was planning my milestone bday trip to France, I decided to just go for it-No time like the present. After reading about Top French Class and Pascale’s glowing reviews, I knew she would be the perfect fit for me. Right from start, she tailored the lessons for my upcoming trip, making them both efficient and enjoyable. She focused on practical topics-essential phrases for dining, shopping, navigating and everyday encounters. She gave me a refresher on the metro map, discussed cultural norms and customs, and even suggested the best Palais Garnier opera tour. It was one of the highlights of my trip! Under her tutelage, I was able to accomplish my short-term French travel goals and confidently head off to Paris, Nice & Normandy. Pascale is a local gem, and I look forward to continuing my French studies with her. Merci...
