What Parents and Students Are Saying About French Reading Essentials
Discover how our program is helping kids gain confidence and enjoy reading in French — straight from the families themselves!
Karine gave both our kids the confidence to succeed in French!
As a parent of two kids in French Immersion, I wholeheartedly recommend Karine to any family needing that extra push. When our son fell behind in Grade 1 reading, Karine quickly identified the gaps and helped him gain confidence. Later, she supported our daughter with French reading, math, and verb groups — her progress was evident right away. Beyond being a wonderful teacher, Karine’s warm and friendly nature motivates kids and makes them look forward to each lesson. Thank you, Karine!
