"Angelique is an extraordinary teacher! Her technique is unique, effective, and results-oriented. I have improved considerably under her tutelage and feel very fortunate to have stumbled across her a year ago. I feel I have improved considerably."

"I can’t say enough positive things about Angelique and her Spanish program! I’ve been her student for almost five years and it’s been the best experience possible! She is a truly special teacher. Not only has she taught me how to read, write, and understand grammar, but she’s also given me the skills to converse with natives with ease and comfort. I am so blessed to have found her. It’s crazy to look back and see how much she has taught me, and the progress I have made. I would recommend her to anyone who truly wants to “speak Spanish like a native”. Muchas gracias!"

"I learned very basic ​French several years ago and lately I decided to pick up this habit. I feel I'm quite lucky to find "Speak It Like A Native" and to learn French with Angélique, this is a totally fun and fulfilling experience. There are two highlights I feel it's super beneficial to beginners like me: 1. The pronunciation. French pronunciation is quite tricky for me and Angélique has a wonderful series of pronunciation lessons for that. From vowels, consonants, nasal sounds to liaisons and tones, the most amazing part is she can reverse-engineer the pronunciation rules which are taken granted by the native speakers and make you understand all the underlying subtleties. These things take years to figure out if no one elaborates. 2. The learning materials are fun and well-organized. It basically covers listen/speak/read/write equally and usually it provides a basic concept and gradually add​s more and more complexity to it so you won't feel overwhelmed. The assignments make sure each concept is well-digested so you can build up solid fundamentals. In a conversation session, you will feel thrilled to ​​try to understand​ the question and​ use what you learned to compose the response. So far I'm satisfied with my progress, I enjoy my journey and am looking forward to my lesson every week. I think the best way to seriously learn a new language is to find a private 1-on-1 lesson as it requires constant exposure and effort. So if you are thinking the same, go ahead to book a session with Angélique, you will​ definitely be impressed​!"

"I am very happy with the teaching services Angelique has provided me for the last year. Initially I was unsure where to learn French but fortunately I came across her services. Unlike a typical school class with a generic French book, she has crafted a unique lesson plan over decades to fully and accurately teach you French. Since it's essentially her crafted book, she's able to really adapt her teaching style to your skill sets, even if you aren't starting from scratch. She can intelligently build you a strong functional base of French, that you can truly build off of rather than just learning phrases or generic French. The attention to detail is severe, which allows her to dig deep on something or hold back with some of the information until you are knowledgeable enough to benefit from it. Personally, I really trust her and her teaching style, so I follow her agenda diligently and end up with great results. If you follow her method, you will learn well as long as you are dedicated to the task. There's no question she's the one to teach you, it's just whether you're ready to spend the time, money, and energy to dedicate yourself to this! I'm very happy with where I am at in my studies and I would highly recommend her. It has been an enjoyable, challenging task that I am learning at the age of 35."

"The best of the best! For those who are just starting their french journey or for more advanced students, Angelique is a true professional and a wonderful teacher. She is passionate about the french language and has a gift for helping us native English speakers to grasp the nuances and beauty of “le français.” She is exigent in her attention to detail and exuberant about sharing her knowledge. If you are looking to progress your written and spoken language skills, look no further!"
