What students & clients have to say
Jane Fabulet-Roberts is a magical wizard moonlighting as a teacher! She possesses the rare power to make learning fun!She has been working with my English speaking eight-year-old for a year and a half. Since that time, we have witnessed a complete turn-around both in terms of my son’s academic performance but also in his confidence level.
While working on reading and writing, Jane points out the parallels between the French & English languages. She intuitively adapts her tutorial format to meet my child’s needs based on his scholastic level and his playful personality type. When the school year ended, my son asked Jane to continue working with him, which is the best testament to the quality of Jane’s skill.Jane is a consummate professional. She is organized, communicative, nurturing and even keeled.
Lastly, she offers comprehensive progress reports to parents offering insights to support children in their learning processes.
- J'avais anticipé une bonne expérience, mais la réalité était encore mieux!
- J'adore les jeux et la manière dont Jane crée les expériences interactives!
- Nicely balanced to keep everything interesting and fun. Jane is an excellent teacher
- J'adore cette expérience: Lauvitel, les repas, les promenades à la nature... et parler français non-stop pour quelques jours.
