      Certified French Teacher | 15+ Years Experience | DELF A1, A2, B1 Specialist Hello, My name is Jemmy. As a dynamic educator, I bring energy and enthusiasm to the classroom, adding a harmonious touch to lessons. I love to teach and make every session fun and engaging. My goal is to create a memorable and enjoyable learning experience, encouraging a love for language learning in every student.

      Why choose Jemmy A.
      "I tried to find the best tutor for my french for about one year. I tried many tutors. But, I wasn`t 100 per cent good with them. Teacher Jemmy made me confident in the French with her activities and materials. I feel relaxed and confident in her classes. In our lessons, we are focused on grammar, reading, speaking and listening to french weekly. In my opinion, after I regularly take Leeson from Teacher Jemmy, I will pass my exam. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to learn the French language or study for specific french exams. "

      I am a DELF exams Certified French Tutor with over 20 years experience - Have you got the desire to successfully write and pass the International French exams called DELF(A1, A2, B1, B2)?
      - Do you sometimes feel embarrassed for NOT being able to speak or read French properly, even though you have been learning it for a while now?

      Why choose Tony E.
      "A very experienced teacher. I've tried so many teachers in Preply (some with very good reviews...). Tony is only teacher I've decided to have lessons with on a long term basis. The problems are that other teachers aren't prepared and lessons are extremely unstructured... Tony used structured materials (while other teachers won't bother to spend time outside the lessons to look for good materials), is experienced. He knows my needs and weaknesses and came up with a lesson plan accordingly. I highly recommend him (indeed he's almost the only one I truly recommend). "
