Student Testimonials

“Ms. Rouane Itani is a very experienced and advanced foreign language instructor. Her extensive knowledge of the French language and her expertise of instructing, including explaining the rules of grammar  structure and how to effectively apply grammar to reading, writing, listening, and speaking the language has proven successful in the increased rate in which I have gained proficiency and became fluent in French. I am so amazed at how fast I have learned the language under her instruction! The training is some of the best foreign language training I have received. With that, I would like to express I am very satisfied with the foreign language training I have received from Ms. Itani and highly recommend her to anyone seeking to quickly and correctly learn a foreign language, especially French!”

“When I began taking classes with Rouane I was not at all comfortable speaking the language to anyone, including an instructor. Rouane completely changed that as she made sure I quickly felt at ease in conversation and helped me put the language learning process in perspective. She also allowed a great degree of flexibility in how I wanted to learn the language while still ensuring I was on the right path and received the necessary instruction. I highly recommend Rouane as a language instructor as her style of teaching will fit anyone and have you consistently progressing in your chosen language.”
