Bio
Jean-Lou Beaubatie
To put it simply, Tom was one of my best students. As a French native speaker, I was consistently pushing the students to their best. And Tom really followed along! He was able to have a conversation with me, and I didn’t even have to adjust the way I was speaking. Also, he was very efficient in terms of learning. I just needed to correct something once so that he would never make the mistake ever again. This way, he was able to learn more, and faster than others. Beyond his outstanding level of French, Tom has remarkable soft skills, which made the classes even more enjoyable for me. He is proactive, very positive, and has great critical thinking. Tom is one of theses individuals that made me love teaching French. And for two years, he showed me he has what it takes to be successful in all his projects. Thank you for these two years!
