NathalyFrom Anne (5/5): (Senior Cycle French) Nathaly, has been my daughter's French tutor for more than a year now and will continue until Leaving Cert 2023. She is an excellent teacher, attention to detail is second to none. She is hugely enthusiastic about the French language and works hard to encourage and inspire her students. My daughter is very happily working towards her Leaving Cert French and has grown in confidence about her ability to succeed in this subject. Many thanks Nathaly I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Nathaly to students looking for a French tutor.
Reply from Nathaly: Thank you very much, Anne. I enjoy every minute and your daughter's enthusiasm is an asset to her success.
From Bridie (/5): (Senior Cycle French) My daughter has had a very positive experience with Nathaly over the past year. She has always looked forward to her lesson with Nathaly. Her confidence in her French studies has improved immensely and she was not worried at all going in to her French Oral exam, despite thinking at the end of 5th year that she might have to drop to ordinary level French.
Although Nathaly is a native French speaker, she has always been well prepared for lessons and has been very patient while not afraid to push when she felt a greater effort was needed.
Both I and my daughter feel that she is in a much better position facing the French Higher Level exam paper having had Nathaly's help and guidance. Thank you Nathaly.

Reply from Nathaly: Thank you, Bridie. It was a great pleasure to work with Hannah and see her give herself a chance to develop her potential. Thank you for your trust and meilleurs voeux de réussite pour Hannah! Nat
From Mary (/5): (Senior Cycle French) Nathaly is really engaging with my daughter and is helping her immensely. I am really satisfied so far
From Ella (/5): (Senior Cycle French) Nathaly is an excellent teacher and has helped me enormously with my French. I am doing my Leaving Cert in a few months time and I don't know where I would be without her help. I feel so much more prepared now than I was before.
From Laura (/5): (University French) Nathaly is an amazing teacher and I cannot recommend her enough. I am currently in university and needed to go back to basics. Nathaly has fully accommodated me and explains everything in detail! Lovely woman and I wish I had found her sooner!
From Lauren (/5): (Senior Cycle French) Nathaly Is an excellent teacher. She has helped me massively since starting last February and I really recommend her!
From Harriet (/5): (Senior Cycle French) Nathaly is an excellent tutor. She has had to go back to basics with my daughter but at no point has she made her feel stupid. I have found her very thorough with great patience and understanding. I just wish I had found her earlier so that my daughter was able to enjoy French sooner!
Reply from Nathaly: God, Harriet, that would never occur to me to place a harsh judgement on a new student's ability and most of all, I love digging out the potential I very well know is hiding under the dust of a few years of learning at a different pace. We know every student comes with their own history and pre-ideas about French. I always start at the start with all of my students. After that the speed defers depending on the time allocated to reach the LC deadline. The parents' contribution is huge and their support to their teen and to me is priceless… and greatly appreciated. Merry Winter! Et merci :-)
From Babita (/5): (Senior Cycle French) Nathaly has been an excellent teacher for my daughter. She is kind, efficient and enthusiastic. She has a very good command of the language and teaches based on a defined approach / methodology. She helped my daughter build a broad vocabulary and gain fluency in French. It was because of her help that my daughter got a H1. I would highly recommend her.
Thank you Nathaly for all your help.

Nathaly was able to come up with a plan for me for the academic year, working on various aspects of the language. Her help was invaluable, without her I would not have passed my end of year exams!
From Joanne (/5): (Senior Cycle French) Cannot recommend Nathaly enough . A first class tutor. My daughter has been attending nathaly since last October for french grinds . As a leaving cert student she was not confident in her ability to do well in honours french for her leaving cert . Nathaly has been phenomenal always encouraging, accommodating,reliable and has brought a student who was poor in french to definitely someone who is way more confident that she can do well . Her attention to detail and her lovely personality has made going to grinds a pleasure for my daughter . Thank you Nathaly for all you have done you cannot comprehend what you have done for my girl . Kind regards a very relieved parent. Joanne A.

She teaches in such an engaging, enthusiastic and enjoyable way! I had been really struggling with the language but thanks to her, I got a H2 in the LC. Grammar is explained simply and great attention is given to pronunciation. I went from thinking that french is so daunting and difficult to really loving the language! I could not recommend Nathaly more!
Reply from Nathaly: Tout le plaisir a été pour moi, Annie. Great pleasure! Merci
From Rachel (/5): (Senior Cycle French) Gave me a crash course of french 6 weeks before my leaving cert and brought me up from a D/C to a B3!

Shes also very funny so you'll have a good laugh too! Would highly recommend to anyone struggling with french or wanting to reach top marks!
