ARE SKYPE LESSONS EFFECTIVE?
Juliette has found students to be even more focused during Skype lessons than they are in person! Most of her local San Diego students–including children and high school students–prefer having their lessons over Skype and have found it to be even more effective than in-person lessons. Plus you have the comfort of learning from your own home with more scheduling flexibility!
HOW DO SKYPE LESSONS WORK?
Juliette will video call you on Skype on the date and time you’ve agreed upon for your lesson. As you move through the lesson, Juliette will type detailed notes to you using Skype’s Instant Messaging function. This will include the vocabulary you are learning, verb conjugations, corrections, and anything else relevant to your lesson. The chat history will be a wonderful study guide for you afterward.
High school students or anyone who is working with a specific textbook will simply text a photo of the pages they are covering to Juliette, and she will cover the material in the same manner she would as if she were sitting right next to you. Juliette may email you worksheets or suggest a specific text to work with depending on your personal goals. There are other fantastic tools Juliette uses to facilitate easy learning in your lessons, such as sharing Google Docs, and more!

WHat do juliette’s students have to say?
“I have been a Francophile virtually my entire life, and have always wanted to learn French. After a couple of years of high school French and a library of French language books resulting in little or no progress, I decided it was now or never to get serious about learning the language. I found Juliette by a stroke of good fortune, and, after a few short months, I’m happy to say I can actually have a conversation in French! I can understand more than I ever imagined, and I don’t feel paralyzed at the thought of speaking French to a stranger…in France! Juliette is so encouraging with her instruction, and doesn’t pressure me with anything I don’t feel comfortable with. I highly recommend Juliette to help any lover of Français to achieve their goals and start speaking the most beautiful language in the world.” –Deborah M. ~ Longtime Francophile & Adult Tutoring Student
“I took multiple French classes in both high school and college, and Professor Sobanet’s French class was one of the highlights of my linguistic career. The combination of French language and how she tied it into French culture, while making it a fun learning environment, provided me with the foundation and confidence to speak French while traveling around the world! I still remember the movies and other media she shared, as well as her passion for France and French food. It really left a lasting impression on me!” –Alex K. ~ George Mason University Student
