Student Testimonial:

"I have come to ILI for two summers to study French. I have attended private classes with Marie Claire. The time has been invaluable, positive, fun and very educational.

Marie Claire is creative as well as very personable and engaging. The class time flies by. Francisco is also very helpful about scheduling convenient lessons with an appropriate instructor.

He is also flexible about changes in a private lesson schedule. I plan to return to my studies at ILI next summer if not before."
