ExploreFrench Reviews 

I had taken classes from another organization for a few years, but was feeling like my learning had reached a plateau. I decided to try some one-on-one instruction and tested out several teachers before I found Anthony. We have now worked together for a number of months, and I truly appreciate his style, approach, pacing, and judgement-free teaching. I fully recommend.

If you are looking for a French teacher who is always well-prepared, truly invested in your progress, and able to explain even the most complex grammar concepts with clarity, Anthony is the perfect choice.
His structured yet engaging approach makes learning French both effective and enjoyable.
Highly recommend!

I am taking online 1/1 class with Anthony. I am so glad I have found Anthony as a French teacher and I can't be happier.

Before last year, i had learned on my own for a number of years and I encountered a roadblock for further advances. I tried group class with a local university, and I also tried other online tutors. But my experience with Anthony is the best.

Compared with other tutors who just want to chat, Anthony is extremely well organized and prepared. I am constantly amazed that he can keep track of my weekly progress, assuming he has many other students to teach. Even the documents he sent me were clearly marked with date, class numbers, and with/out notes. His notes on texts are clearly market with different colors for better understanding. I don't know how he can achieve that.

Anthony clearly knows his materials extremely well. One example that impressed me most is verb types. Most teachers and textbooks talk about ER, IR RE verbs, but nobody but Anthony also explained to me that, there are different types of verbs within each category that with different conjugation rules. That is a "a-ha" moment for me and it cleared a lot of confusion.

Anthony is also very professional and is not a clock watcher. Many times, the class will run over scheduled time, but Anthony is always patient. He never rushed off, but asked me if I have additional questions and give examples.

The added bonus is that Anthony is multi-lingual, especially with Chinese. While I am perfectly fine with learning French with English, it is always a pleasant surprise when Anthony explains new french words in Chinese.

I feel that in the short three months I am taking classes with Anthony, I have made good progress. Obviously, as a working adult, I do not have a lot time to go over materials repeatedly. I hope Anthony is not frustrated with my progress or lack thereof, because I do plan to learn from him for the long haul

Anthony has a great teaching style, he is engaging, patient, positive and has an impressive knowledge of a number of foreign languages so really understands the challenges of learning a language. The classes are well prepared with up-to-date materials about relevant topics which Anthony then develops with plenty of examples. I have been taking classes with Anthony for four months and have noticed a big improvement in my speaking and listening ability.
Merci beaucoup, Anthony !

Anthony is an excellent teacher. He is very professional, great at communicating with students, and extremely patient. He knows how to teach French while allowing students to experience French culture and different landscapes, making the learning process very engaging and not boring at all. He is the best teacher I have ever met.

Highly recommended!

Anthony is an excellent French teacher who is also fluent in many languages including English. His passion for language is evident in his podcasts which cover different subjects in an engaging manner. He speaks clearly and varies speed and complexity according to level. I’m always looking forwards to new content

I started my French A1 level with Anthony three years ago, and now I can work in a French-speaking company. He's very patient, well-prepared, and well-organized in the lessons. Also, because he can speak many different languages, sometimes he can explain some complicated words or grammar in a way that the other languages can explain. I really enjoy the French language learning with him.

Anthony is a well prepared and thorough teacher who has greatly improved my French. I've switched from group lessons at a French school to 1:1 online lessons with Anthony and I'm making more progress due to the dedicated time and well structured lessons.

Anthony is a superb French teacher. He has a great understanding of French and other languages which allows him to explain clearly his lessons. His classes are enjoyable and interesting and has inspired me to look for extra learning and resources outside of our class time. His website Explore French and his podcast provide such extra learning opportunities. I am so grateful that I found Anthony and I highly recommend him to anyone interested in learning French.

I’ve tried so many different online French tutors, however was unable to find someone with the passion, patience, knowledge and skills to meet my learning needs. That was until I found Anthony!

Anthony’s knowledge and professionalism is truly exceptional and I would not hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends and family! Merci Anthony!
