This is my fifth lesson with Gersende, who helped me prepare for an upcoming trip to France by prepping common travel situations. She answered my many many questions patiently and gave me lots culture and travel tips. Gersende is patient, professional, and a great conversationalist. She made me feel very comfortable speaking from lesson one, and she types down words that I've mistaken or am confused about so I could keep them in my notes. She shares lots of great learning materials too, such as podcasts and learning websites. I cannot recommend her enough! Merci beaucoup Gersende! I hope to learn with you again after my trip!

Gersende is the beyond best French teacher I ever could have imagined. I am a true beginner in French, maybe with a level a little above A1, but Gersende manages to understand what I am saying almost all the time, incredible. She also has so many great personalities that the conversations with her are always a pleasure, she's patient, friendly, open to the world, has a good sense of humor and knows perfectly how to let the conversations flow. Beyond that, Gersende is very professional, good at noticing the mistakes in the conversations but never interrupts me when I am speaking, and she makes detailed notes for me by correcting all these mistakes. Talented teacher, highly recommend.

Gersende asks great questions that push me into new territory and I find myself saying things in French that I didn't think I could! I enjoy the conversations but I also go away with a list of useful grammar and vocabulary that I can work on between lessons.

Gersende is my favorite Italki professor. I've been using Italki for years and I've tried over 15-20 different teachers. Gersende is a true expert at correcting and noting mistakes. She is a great conversationalist, very professional, and always on time. She is so good that I am nervous in writing this post, because I'm afraid too many people will start taking lessons with Gersende and I won't be able to find time slots with her!

Gersende was very patient, helpful and encouraging. She corrected my mistakes, helped identify areas of improvement and gave me additional resources for me to continue to practice.

Gersende is wonderful! She's very patient and take notes on where I need to improve, both grammar and pronounciation. Merci beaucoup!
