Francesca's Story
As a government officer, Francesca needed to enhance her speaking skills to become fully bilingual. Initially, she hesitated to speak French for fear of making mistakes, which held her back at work.
Through one-on-one classes with Umut, Francesca worked on her speaking skills and built her confidence by addressing common mistakes through practice and constructive feedback.
