Course Reviews

Last year my daughter took this AP French course from Franck Reynaud, and I want to tell you how outstanding this class is.   I highly recommend it!

Last summer, when I realized other time commitments were going to prevent me from teaching AP French to Andra myself, I was delighted to discover such a highly-qualified teacher as Franck.   The course has more than met our expectations.

Franck has done a fantastic job of organizing a comprehensive, thorough, and engaging online course that prepares students very well for the AP French exam.   After completing Franck ’s course, my daughter received the highest possible score on the exam, and we’re thrilled that she’ll receive 12 hours of college credit for the year’s work.   I am quite sure none of this would have happened without Franck's course!

Franck ’s warm, encouraging, and enthusiastic personality adds a great deal to the value of the course.

The weekly live discussions in French were a highlight of the class.   I listened in frequently on these sessions, and was very impressed at Franck’s skill in leading discussions and encouraging students to express themselves boldly in French.  

Franck also excels at helping a student with the challenging task of writing essays in French.   Her class incorporates very effective techniques for providing detailed feedback on the student’s written French.   Since I’m interested in the teaching of writing, I had wondered how well this aspect of the course would work. I was amazed to see just how well an online course can handle this type of writing instruction!   Before taking Franck’s class, my daughter had felt very nervous about the prospect of having to write an essay in French for the exam, but the proof is in: Franck prepared her very well for that dreaded essay, even though I didn’t have ANY time to help Andra with the course myself.

It was very easy to communicate with Franck throughout the year: he always responded promptly to emails and made himself constantly available to Andra.

If you’re thinking of an online AP French class, you couldn’t do better than to take this one!
