How the lessons work

I am available to teach all of the days of the week except Fridays and Saturdays. I can be very flexible with scheduling so that you can have your class before, after or even during work. All lessons last for 60 minutes unless I have a session the following hour. In that case the lesson lasts 55 minutes. Lessons can occur either at my home in Victor, Idaho or online via Zoom.

What some of my students have to say

David has been my tutor for a little less than a month now and it’s been game changing compared to the 2 months of lessons beforehand with various other tutors. David and I have made incredible progress in a short time. He has an amazing intuition as to which areas I need focus and which we can cover quickly as weak as reams of useful learning methods and tricks to grasp the language quickly. If you are serious about learning French and prepared to put in the work, look no further!  James, Chamonix, France

“I had the pleasure of working with David over 6 months as I prepared for a move to France. I had very basic knowledge of the French language–primarily from audio lessons prior to beginning our Skype sessions. David’s lessons filled in some big gaps in my learning. He was flexible in the structure of our lessons and answered questions about the nuances of the language with ease. He was personable and shared anecdotal stories about his own language learning which made the lessons fly by quickly. I can head into my French adventure with confidence! Merci beaucoup David! -Natalie T, California

“For years, I have attempted to learn French on my own, and have tried just about every program out there. While I always learned “something” from other programs, I can now say that nothing has been as effective as the one-to-one lessons I’ve had with David Issokson. With his personable approach, David demystifies the most confusing parts of the language, breaking things down in a clear and concise manner. What’s truly great about lessons with David is his ability to accurately evaluate what I already know and don’t know, and thus deliver truly personalized lessons that allow me to progress more quickly and efficiently. Plus, his work with me on my pronunciation and accent has left me feeling more confident about conversing with French speakers. Seeing my own rapid progression thus far has made me excited to learn once again! I’m looking forward to continuing my studies with David, and am glad to have found a teacher who can finally help me progress to “the next level” in my language adventure. Dave K, New Hampshire, USA

After meeting with David Issokson for forty minutes I already felt more comfortable speaking French. He who helped me to polish my pronunciation and gain some confidence in casual French conversation. David is an encouraging instructor who puts his students at ease. He is also flexible and willing to work toward specific goals. – Jenny E, Toronto, Canada.

My lessons

I currently teach to all levels from beginner, intermediate and advanced. I’ve worked as a tutor with both challenged and gifted high school students as well as helped professionals ranging from doctors, lawyers, college professors, diplomats, authors, psychotherapists and chemists. Through my private one-on-one online French course I guide students through a series of high school textbooks.

I use the books because they offer a very solid foundation in grammar (sentence structure), verb conjugations and vocabulary. But, we aren’t completely bound to the textbooks and I include a whole lifetime of personal experience in the lessons.

So, we combine the lesson material in the book with real conversation from the very start. In general, I suggest about 40 minutes of book work and about 15 minutes of open conversation. For intermediate and advanced students we do an entire hour of conversation based on an exclusive series of conversation lessons that I’ve written myself.

Textbooks

I currently use the following textbook which are all available on Amazon.com. I use the Discovering French high school textbook series by Valette-Valette as well as Complete French All-in-One from the Practice Makes Perfect series.
