"Wow do I count myself lucky to have had Romane as my teacher for my first taste of learning French through the Alliance Française. What an ambassador for language learning and for all things French. She brings humour and interest and engagement to every class, and every week I am struck by the significant amount of content we are able to get through thanks to her!"
