Paige’s review : 11 classes with Mrs. Sambuis

Level in French : Advanced French II, UT Austin

“My reading, listening and speaking all improved thanks to Mrs. Sambuis’s tutoring. She was prepared for each class, and was always warm and friendly. Her tutoring was customizable so I was able to focus on the parts I needed the most help with: grammar, vocabulary, listening comprehension and  speaking. She often used videos and news articles to begin the discussion. She always welcomed my questions and had at heart to clarify parts of confusion.”
