Good and worth the price

The instructors I have used have been nice. For the most part, they are patient but if I have much difficulty some will become slightly impatient. One suggested that I could feel free to use other instructors and didn't have to use her exclusively. When I speak English I have a heavy Southern drawl and I think I am not understood very well. Most of the instructors I have used have trouble coming up with the English word if I ask what the French word means. The other difficulty is the time difference. I live in the USA and occasionally it is difficult to find a good time with an instructor. I'm a bit disappointed in the course but overall it is a good experience.

Thanks a lot for sharing your opinion and feedback, Glenna! We have asked your Academic Advisor to contact you immediately to discuss how we can better support you with the points you mention. We could potentially assign you instructors with a better command of English (we have several team members who are fully bilingual). A large part of our French teaching team is also based in US-friendly time zones, so this should also be an easy fix. We'll contact you to discuss and we'll be happy to help :)

Merci encore !

Great, personal and interactive learning

A really helpful, personalised and interactive learning environment. It's been great to learn French with Audrey, coming in at just above beginner level, we've made good progress and lots of variety. The interactive nature of Iboux is a real benefit for all learning styles.

Don’t be afraid to pick up a language where you left off, you remember more than you realize!

I started taking French private lessons with Iboux about 18 months ago. I grew up in French-speaking Quebec in an English household and school system, so I learned French as a second language at school and spoke it on and off through completion of my university studies. After graduating I moved to the US and did not speak French again for the next 35 years. When I retired and picked up French with Iboux, I was pleased at how accurately Iboux was able to assess my current level before assigning me to the appropriate teachers and materials. I began to progress very fast, it was like riding a bicycle and my French came back much faster than I expected. The private lessons allowed me to tailor my learning pace to my progress very well, so I continue to feel challenged as my French speaking and writing skills have now accelerated even beyond what they were when I was a young adult. The price for private lessons is very reasonable and the student support is very good.

Very highly recommended!

A fantastic and affordable way to gain practice and confidence in speaking a foreign language. Unlike similar platforms, you get to choose your teacher, though the good ones book up very quickly. I meet weekly with a truly terrific French teacher and have learned a lot about both the language and the culture. Lessons are tailored to my interests.

Great flexible way of working on my French

I have been taking French B1/B2 classes with Iboux for a few months and so far I am really happy with the overall experience. I like the fact that the curriculum can be tailored to suit my specific learning needs and preferences, that I have total flexibility to choose how many and when I want to take the classes and that I can choose which teachers I work with. So far all of the teachers and staff I've interacted with have been very nice and supportive. My only complaint is that sometimes I struggle to find enough available time slots that work with my schedule, so I need to do classes with multiple teachers and can't keep a consistent routine. Overall, though, I would be happy to recommend Iboux to anyone who wants to improve language skills.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, Ana! We are sorry to hear that you are struggling to find available time slots at times that suit you. We'll go ahead and ask your Advisor to assess whether we might need to add a few more teachers with a wider availability to your pool of assigned instructors, which should be an easy fix.

French and English courses

Iboux is a great opportunity for me to learn and improve my French (starting from A1, now B1) and English (C1). The one-to-one classes give me direct feedback and corrections necessary for a quicker and more efficient learning. I have the opportunity to work with different teachers, all of them highly prepared and supporting. The only "remark" is the reduced languages catalogue (French, English, Spanish). I would love to have further languages to study them with Iboux's teachers. I recommend it.

I've been taking French lessons through…

I've been taking French lessons through Iboux for about the last 9 months, and I've had a good experience. My teachers are very friendly, and I enjoy having a dedicated curriculum to work through. My only complaint is that I struggle to find enough available time slots that work in my schedule, so my progress feels like it is a bit slow. Overall, though, the Iboux team is attentive and caring, and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to improve in a second language!

My First French Learning Online.

This has been my first experience with iboux and so far I have only taken 8 classes but find them to be extremely helpful no matter what. Wilim in particular has been extremely patient and helpful in the support area and has guided me every step of the way. Just recently he has done a review about how my my learning is going which means a lot as its given me opportunity to discuss things. Teachers are very good and always organized and efficient, and for one hour I feel I get their undivided attention which really helps my learning. Sometimes I have problems booking a slot to suit me so more Teachers working from England would be nice.
Merci bien.

Flexible and tailored way to learn

I'm enjoying learning with Iboux because the teachers provide instruction on exactly what I need to be working on to progress. As well, having one-on-one time with a teacher is so helpful because it provides an opportunity to speak and be corrected in real-time by an expert.

Iboux French conversational lessons

I have completed 20 iboux french lessons and have enrolled for another session. My objective is to improve my comprehension and conversational skills, keeping my 'ear in tune' with the language until I can travel to France again. For this purpose I find Iboux lessons very useful and satisfactory. My tutor is a good conversationalist and unobtrusively guides and corrects my errors , without unduly losing the flow of the lesson. I am very happy with the French course provided by iboux

A1 French course

I have started an A1 French course. As I needed to start from the basics, Iboux was recommended for the one-to-one teaching lessons.
You have the opportunity to interact with different teachers, and then you have time to choose the one that best suits you.
I truly recommended it.

Iboux enables me to integrate English into my everyday life.

Iboux allows me to integrate English communication into everyday life. What I find especially helpful is the possibility to book the next lessons flexibly and depending on my own schedule. My teacher is competent and nice and I enjoy the lessons.

Experience with IBOUX

My experience with IBOUX so far has been great. The teachers have been friendly and helpful and I feel my spoken French has really improved, which was my aim when I started the classes. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to improve their languages!

Good speaking practices. Lacks balance.

Iboux is a nice platform to get some language practice at a decent price. I did advanced French (B2/C1) with them for 9 months. It took me some time to find good teachers amongst the ones they proposed me. I find Iboux a great place to have conversation practices if that's what you're after. However, the lessons lack some balance in other language competencies, i.e. reading, writing, listening. Their advanced (C1) materials are also outdated. Many links in the course materials are not working anymore. And sometimes, the exercises/ questions could seem so random that even the teacher doesn't know the answer.

Bonjour Arielle: thanks a lot for your review and feedback! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed taking conversation classes with us. We are a bit surprised that you felt that the class materials lacked balance with regard to language skills, since every unit (no exception) is divided into sections based on all 4 language skills: Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing. The goal of this is, precisely, to ensure the learner achieves balance by mastering each competency across all areas of the language, rather than just one.

We therefore believe that there may have been an issue in how your lessons were approached, and we are very sorry for that. We will ask your Academic Advisor to contact you immediately so we can discuss this further and try to understand what the problem was and, of course, do our best to fix it.

In addition, we are surprised about the comment about the C1 materials being outdated, since the last version of French C1 materials was released in late 2020, so they are definitely up-to-date and aligned with the rest of our curriculum. Again, we will contact you to know more and try to get to the bottom of this, as we believe there may have been some sort of mistake or misunderstanding (which, again, we apologize for if that was the case, and we'll do our best to solve this for you).

Merci / Thank you again for taking the time to write a review and for your feedback!

My opinion about Iboux - Spanish

I really like studying languages on Iboux. It's the perfect learning environment because in every class I can choose what I want to practice even if I just want to have a conversation about to improve my talking skills. The flexibility it comes with is also great, booking hours independently is great.

A wonderful learning experience with two outstanding teachers

I have worked with two wonderful, talented, and experienced Iboux Spanish teachers for nearly 4 years - going from A2 to C1, and still working to improve. The online platform works very well and allows students to work with teachers in different corners of the world. It is a privilege to work with this team.
