For the moment I am learning French with Krisztina for several month every day and I am very happy with my progress thanks to my beautiful teacher. I started almost from zero. I believe I will be able to speak fluently in short time. Now I am able to have a short talk in French=)

Tiphaine is a very competent and experienced French teacher. She prepares the lessons very carefully and focuses on all relevant aspects such as conversation, grammar and vocabulary. Above all, she has a very friendly personality that makes you feel at ease immediately. I can highly recommend her as a French teacher.
