Student Experience
VCE French Tutoring
"Madame Meric has helped me so much throughout the year. She has given me lots of advice, improved my confidence and she definitely knows the VCE French course thoroughly. Her classes have provided me with a supportive environment and are tailored to my specific needs and areas of weakness whilst also being engaging and productive. I am so grateful for her help and support and highly recommend her as a French tutor."
Ria 💬 Y12 at Loreto
"Madame Meric was the main reason why I continued French into year 12. She is fabulous and committed and pushed me to fulfil my potential. I could not have completed VCE French without her support."
Lana 💬 Y12 at Loreto
"Madame Meric has made a significant impact on my french language learning journey. Under her guidance, my proficiency in French has grown tremendously, and I am truly grateful for her expertise. Not only has she helped me understand complex grammar rules and language nuances by explaining them in a way that is easy to understand and easy to remember but her genuine passion for teaching and care for her students shine through in each and every interaction. Within my year 12 VCE french studies, Madame Meric has been instrumental in providing me with constructive feedback and tailored lessons to address my specific strengths and weaknesses, and I owe so much of my progress to her unwavering dedication. Perhaps most importantly for me, Madame Meric's mentorship has bolstered my confidence in my French abilities. Her encouragement and guidance have empowered me to pursue French within my university studies and to continue to want to excel in the language."

Maddy 💬 Y7 at Bialik College
"Thank you for your support and confidence in our potential. The class environment was relaxed, fun, comfortable and inspiring. Your passion and knowledge were also inspiring. My year 11 has been extremely emotional, but you always helped me up. It was something you did passively, but it really impacted on me."
Antoinette 💬 Y11 at Loreto
"Thanks Madame! French this year has made me see the relationship between both languages of French and English like never before. Even though I still have some work to do, the logic of the French language has resonated more clearly. I also learnt not to rote learn an oral, which was hard but as a result I gained greater fluidity and confidence in my speaking abilities."

I can see why you do what you do, you are just amazing!"
