Zineb is an excellent French tutor. She is focused on providing the experiences and information that each student needs to become fluent in French. The lessons are well organized, including activities for conversation, writing, reading and grammar. Her patience, encouragement and sense of humour kept me relaxed, motivated and - gave me confidence. I highly recommend Zineb for a fantastic individualized learning experience!

Zineb is an excellent tutor working with both of my kids, one at the high school level (French 10) and another at the elementary school level. She makes the lessons fun and educational, and complements the school's curriculum with high quality tutoring. Both kids feel comfortable with a new language, eager to learn more of it, and excel in their school work.

Zineb helped me navigate through a college French course 5 years after taking high school French. She was knowledgable, patient, and flexible with her schedule. Really appreciated her help this semester and would definitely recommend her to other people with little French experience.

Zineb helped me in preparation for my IB French B exams and she was great! French was definitely one of my weaker subjects, however after my lessons with her I became much more confident in my writing and reading, which were my main concerns for the exams. I highly recommend her to anyone who struggles with the language, as I found it to be of great help!

I am really glad we have Zineb as a tutor for my daughter. Zineb is not only knowledgeable, but also very attentive to the particular needs of her tutees, which I find very important. My daughter improved in her learning a lot and overall became more interested in studying.

I hated taking french classes in school and i barely learned anything at all, but in only a few months of learning with Zineb, she has taught me so much and i really enjoy it.

As an advanced French learner, I have a solid base of grammar and a good vocabulary (regularly read French novels, listen to French podcasts and watch French shows -- with French subtitles). But I lack confidence in conversation and Zineb has been excellent in building my confidence. She's patient and encouraging, but more than that she conveys genuine curiosity in what I'm saying. That apparently sincere interest makes all the difference for me and my conversational confidence is stronger thanks to my lessons with her.

Zineb is a true professional and caring teacher. I needed to learn as much French as I could in two months as I was spending Christmas in Northern Quebec with my boyfriend's family. In this short amount of time Zineb brought me upto conversational level French with good reading and writing ability. She is very catered to each students specific needs, very involved in their unique progress and genuinely a very friendly, likable and encouraging individual. I would highley recommend Zineb to anyone attempting to learn a new language.

Zineb is a great tutor, she makes you feel comfortable speaking a new language which can definitely be nerve-wracking in my experience. She puts you at ease and makes you feel motivated to continue to improve in French. She is passionate about the language and this is clearly shown at every session. 10/10.

I needed some help with refreshing my French, prior to a 3 week trip through France. Zineb's help really made a difference. She focused on those areas that I needed to pay attention to, including vocabulary, scenarios and pronunciation. I would definitely look to Zineb for help if I am lucky enough to go back to France in the future!

I had a great experience with Zineb. I was looking for a tutor to help me with my spoken French and was lucky to find Zineb. She was patient with me as I tried to get my ideas out and kind in correcting my mistakes. On top of this, she is great to talk to. The conversations were always interesting and never felt forced. I look forward to finding time to study with her again.

Excellent, Encouraging, Patient,

My husband and I have had numerous French tutors over the past five or ten years, and Zineb is one of our very favourites. Her command of the language is obviously excellent and her instruction about grammar, syntax, vocabulary, etc., is always very clear. But what makes Zineb stand out for me is her genuine interest in her students, the way that interest makes her listen carefully, makes me feel that the Content I'm trying to convey is worthwhile enough for her to wait patiently and encouragingly for me to get my French words out there. Because of that patience and genuine interest, my confidence levels in my ability to speak French have risen dramatically, so that this last trip to Paris I held my own in every encounter with a French speaker, never deterred if they switched to English, but remaining in French knowing that they would be able to understand me -- because Zineb convinced me she always could.

Zineb is a great tutor and a great person. She is very patient and also challenges me to learn more. If you want to have fun and learn a lot then you will have a great experience with Zineb. She is a wealth of resources and has equipped me with a wide variety of media sources which has enabled me to expand my comprehension skills. She is very flexible and adapts lessons to what I am feeling or need on the day. It is very easy to talk to Zineb, which makes it easy to learn and improve on my French. Highly recommended.
