French For All

Being the school topper in French and scoring an A* Grade in Grade 10 (IGCSE Board), I would say that is CONFIDENT, SATISFIED AND COMPETENT are the words that most appropriately describe me as far my French Language skills are concerned. And I would attribute it to Deval Ma’am’s French Classes in Ghatkopar.

Despite the challenges of this foreign language, her myriad resources of vocabulary, immense hard work, well-supported knowledge, and friendly rapport made these classes quite enjoyable and incredibly rewarding at the same time.

Further, I would like to add that I found my peers, Ma'am and myself, working well towards learning the French language and building a bond beyond the regular syllabus, which is something very unique and amazing about Ma’am’s classes.

Deval Ma'am is passionate about the French language, and it reflects in her teaching style. Frankly, I never liked French as a subject and always found it difficult to get decent scores. After I joined her classes in Grade 9, my performance in French kept getting better ever since.

With her effective techniques, she not only helped me in developing an interest in French but also helped me score an ‘A grade’ in French in Grade 10 which seemed quite tough earlier.

Besides being a good teacher, she has abundant resources and knowledge regarding French that helped me a lot in improving my vocabulary. She is extremely hard-working and always gives personal attention to all her students.

After joining Deval ma'am in 2018, my French scores improved immensely. There has been a drastic improvement in my understanding of French grammar and the French language as a whole.

Thanks to her persistent efforts and rigorous practice, I scored Grade A in French in Grade 10. It was a surprise to me because I have always scored C and D in the past before joining her.

Finally, I would like to add that she is strict as far as the execution of tasks is concerned but friendly and approachable as far as resolution of doubts and/or problems is concerned.

If I say that classes with Deval Ma'am were helpful to me, it would be an understatement. These classes were a lifeline to me, which reflects in my scores. I joined her in Grade 12 IBDP.

On my own graph, I improved from scoring 1 IB point in Grade 11 to scoring 6 IB points in Grade 12. Clearly, this is a tremendous achievement that would not have been possible without her.

Further, in the past 3 to 4 years, I have tried learning this language from around ten different French teachers, as this subject never interested me and was not my forte then. This important year of Grade 12 IBDP with Deval ma'am was the most fruitful of all the past years. She taught me the language and helped me overcome my fear of this subject which is very important for any student.

Even though this was her first-year teaching IBDP Grade 12 students, it never seemed so. She was always up to date with everything and has an excellent command of this language.

To summarise, I would say that these French classes in Ghatkopar were highly beneficial and fun for me.

I would also further like to add that for any student seeking to learn this language, Deval Ma’am’s classes are a must!!!

Learning French with Deval has been an extremely pleasurable experience. Deval's lessons are very well-researched. Her manner of teaching is easygoing yet systematic. After each lesson, you are amazed at how much you have learned. Every interaction with her is immensely enriching. In a nutshell, French for all is a dream come true for all students.

In my opinion, one should never cease to seek knowledge, or learn a new language at any age. And when you have tutors and mentors like Deval Ma’am, learning French becomes all the more enjoyable and enriching at the same time. Thanks, Deval Ma'am for teaching me one of the sweetest languages of the world and thanks to you that I can read and understand signboards when in France!

"Bon enseignement"!

Being associated with Deval Ma’am for more than a year, I would say that we were impressed with her teaching style right from Day 1. She not only has good knowledge of the French language but also plans each class well in advance. Her emphasis on ‘Quality Teaching’ is her most vital asset.

Further, I would like to add that she is punctual, disciplined and highly professional as far as teaching is concerned. In short, I would say that her classes are a must for all those who wish to learn this language.
