- I was extremely concerned about learning French online and nervous about starting any French lessons. As I am moving to France in a few months time, it is a necessity! Having just the 30 minute trial lesson with Nadjia made me realise how wrong I had been. In the past few weeks I have learned so much about grammar and my pronunciations are improving. Most importantly for me Nadjia, has given me the confidence to try and speak french and even to try it out on friends and family.
I find the flexible lesson times very helpful, the way the sessions are tailored to your individual requirements excellent and Nadjia is always very friendly and approachable. Thus I would eagerly recommend FrenchFaster to anyone looking for lessons as it is an affordable experience that can be fitted into anyones hectic life style.

I was extremely concerned abour learning French online ... and realize how wrong I had been.
Nageeb provided a custom-fit program for me to fine-tune my French language skills needed to pass the entry language exam for INSEAD.
With a short time frame, the online sessions offered the flexibility to accommodate the lessons and maximize the take-home learnings.
The interactive nature of the one on one lessons helped to establish the fundamentals to succeed in all environments.
I highly recommend French Faster to anyone!

Online French lessons maximized take-home learnings
- Like most people, I was initially skeptical about the effectiveness of learning French online. As an MBA student on a shoestring budget and as an unsatisfied client of costly but barely helpful lessons at some of the best French language schools in Tokyo, I decided to give French Faster a try. It was one of the best decisions and investments I have ever made. For years, I've struggled to grasp French grammar and pronunciation and my French friends would rather converse with me in English than in French, though I supposedly had an intermediate level.
Under Nageeb's tutelage, my French improved by leaps and bounds in the span of one month. The progress was so great that I managed to successfully pass DELF B2 (upper intermediate) at 70%, though I was at DELF A2-B1 when I first began the lessons 4 weeks ago. Nageeb/French Faster leveraged on my English competency and also came up with many unique learning shortcuts and techniques to help me internalize all the French grammar patterns, which were previously a nightmare for me.
I relocated to France 3 weeks ago to do my MBA at INSEAD and thanks to the effectiveness of my classes with French Faster, my relocation was a complete breeze. With my newly acquired French level, I could converse freely and exchange ideas with the French people I met here as well as enjoy interesting French movies and novels. All these would not have been possible without Nageeb and French Faster.
I strongly recommend French Faster to anyone looking to learn French in highly effective, flexible and affordable manner. I can assure you that it will be your best investment and experience in mastering French.

My French improved by leaps and bounds - unique learning shortcuts and techniques, excellent value for money!
I had the pleasure of enrolling in French language classes with Nageeb and what a great experience it was!
After initially hesitating to enroll in online classes, French Faster was the most suitable for my difficult schedule. Nageeb provided the necessary guidance and pace for me to pass the DELF A2 exam to clear the INSEAD Exit Language Requirement. He was very patient and accommodated my busy schedule and late hours.
Nageeb focused on what is important to pass the exam and his deep knowledge of the exam helped me in scoring 90 out of 100 on my first try for the DELF!
I highly recommend him for anyone seeking a flexible and effective way to learn French. I wish him and Frenchfaster all the success!

Online learning is something new to me, and learning french is just as interesting. French faster is a no-frills course - no hidden cost, flexible time to fit my schedule on weekend afternoon or weekday nite after I've settled my children to sleep.
Ms Nadjia, my bubbly tutor, is always helpful to write the pronounciation to me, to ease my understanding on the words, vowels, and consonants.
I don't have any hesitation to recommend French Faster to my friends or people who has the keen interest to pick up French.

No-frills course: no hidden cost, flexible time
- My sons got exempted from MOE (Ministry of Education) and they were given the French in lieu of Mandarin option. I had to enroll them in a language school within a month. Unfortunately, all schools I contacted had already started their French program.I contacted MOE to explain the situation and MOE recommended I sign up my two sons for online lessons since students can register anytime of the year. Frenchfaster being the only online French school in Singapore, I decided to enroll my boys at Frenchfaster as it is endorsed by MOE itself.It was indeed a blessing in disguise. I’ve been very satisfied with the good customer service standards at Frenchfaster, such as the fast email responses. Also, online tuition is so practical.My sons were very excited when they first saw their teacher Ms Rozeedah on the skype screen for the trial lesson. Ms Rozeedah teaches very well; she speaks slowly and clearly, then she writes every important word she says so my boys can understand quickly. My boys really like the online lessons, and they look forward to every Wednesday for their French tuition.I strongly recommend online learning with Frenchfaster.

- Having looked around for a couple of options to learn French, I decided to give FrenchFaster a go primarily due to the low cost, flexibility and quick turn around time within which Nageeb promised I would have a good grasp of the language.
Though I was initially sceptical about the effectiveness of online learning, Nageeb quickly dispelled those doubts with his patience, dedication and structured method of instruction.
Nageeb created a customised curriculum for me and was very patient especially when I was initially still trying to grasp the nuances of the language. The customised curriculum meant that my progress was dependant on my abilities, and served to provide a solid foundation of the language. Nageeb also made the lessons interesting by sharing aspects of French culture and other nuggets of information to spice up the lessons.
While offering me the flexibility of choosing my lesson timings, online learning also allowed me to get the individual attention of the tutor for each lesson at a significantly lower cost. It was almost like one-on-one tuition, minus the exorbitant fees!
Looking back, I think it was one of my best investments to date and would definitely strongly recommend the online learning experience with FrenchFaster to anyone interested in learning French.

Individual attention of the tutor at a significantly lower cost

Before joining Frenchfaster, I attended a private course for beginners and after 2 months, I still couldn't get the French pronunciation correctly. So, I decided to enrol in a basic phonics class, and that didn't work either.Then I found Frenchfaster. I was a bit skeptical about learning a language on skype. But I soon decided to give one-to-one skype lessons a try.Nageeb helped me on my pronunciation. He devoted a full one-hour on French phonic rule. After 3-4 lessons, I started to read independently and more confidently. Now we are on a choo-choo train of grammar to learn to make sentences.For beginners like me, Frenchfaster is a great help as French pronunciation can be difficult. The notes sent to me as email attachments are well-prepared and the explanation very logical and clear.Now I realize skype lessons really work. Chez Frenchfaster, on apprend le francais plus vite. C'est vrai!

Skype lessons work as good as face-to-face
This is by far the best french programme I have enrolled myself into. Given my challenge in learning grammar, and my strength in vocabulary, Nageeb has tailored a programme specifically for me to ensure that I benefit from an intensive grammar programme.
Nageeb worked together with me towards achieving my personal goal and it had certainly proven outstanding results in my DELF A2 given a very short period.
Highly recommended for beginners who are serious about learning French.

Nageeb is an excellent teacher who is innovative, and understands the individual learning process so much better than any teacher I've taken French lessons from.
Since mid-2009, I have been taking Skype one-on-one lessons with Nageeb at an unbelievably affordable price, and in return, I get very comprehensive and unique notes created by Nageeb himself, and more than adequate attention from him during our lessons. In just 3 months, I understood concepts that previous teachers failed to teach me, made simple by Nageeb's unique explanations that gel with me completely.
The value I get out of my skype one-on-one lessons with Nageeb is incredible. No matter where we are (we both travel alot), we never miss our weekly sessions, which is something I highly recommend.
Previously, when I travel I will miss classes in French schools due to their fixed schedules; now all I need is a laptop/webcam and my homework done in word document file.
I highly, highly recommend Nageeb for online language sessions - your improvement is something I can vouch for.

Frenchfaster took the guesswork out of speaking French!
After a year of weekly French lessons, I still found it daunting to speak French as I was never sure of the pronunciation. With Frenchfaster and Nageeb’s clear and concise sessions, I can finally read with confidence.

Nageeb is an excellent French teacher who is able to tailor his tutoring to suit the needs of his students. He has helped me better grasp my knowledge of the French language and build a strong foundation, on which I hope to expand.
Nageeb has helped me throughout my last two years of high school which have seen me improving and understanding the language.
I believe Nageeb would be a sound choice for anyone looking for an experienced, cultured and friendly teacher who will effectively assist them in their quest to make progress in the French language.

An experienced, cultured and friendly teacher
Nageeb is a very intuitive teacher who is very sensitive to my needs as a student. He understands the difficulty I have with learning French as an adult.
He devised interesting ways for me to remember difficult and complicated French grammatical rules.
He is also a very patient and approachable teacher. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn French not only quickly but effectively.

I'd like to thank frenchfaster for helping me pass my DELF A1 paper. I scored more than I expected.
Frenchfaster accommodated my hectic schedule and arranged make-up lessons for me to catch up with my classmates and ensure I was adequately prepared for my DELF A1 exam.
My teacher Nageeb always made the lessons enjoyable and interesting with jokes. He never fails to answer any of our questions, even the naughty ones!

Frenchfaster accommodated my hectic schedule
I passed my Delf A2 exam with flying colours. Woohoo!!!
Thanks to all the intensive French lessons I had with classmate HT. There we were, hoping to just pass everything by 50% … and I exceeded my own hopes and expectations by a mile. Had nearly full marks for written comprehension and oral comprehension.
This is a great relief. I have now officially cleared INSEAD's third language requirement for graduation.
If you're in Singapore and are also thinking of learning French as your third language ... if you have limited time, you may prefer a much more flexible course which focuses on particular areas you'd like to improve. Also, as you need to pass an exam, you may prefer getting more attention from the teacher (individual or small groups of 2-3).
In other schools where I studied before, I felt the classes were too big for the professor to have time to fix your pronunciation individually. Then, if you want individual tuition, it is quite expensive.
So instead, I strongly recommend another school called French Faster, which has more personal attention at a more reasonable price. You're made to understand why things are done in a certain way and not just because “that's French, that's how it is”, which is more the attitude I got from my earlier professors.
This is just my personal take; I prefer to understand things then remember them, rather than just memorising for the sake of memorising.

Nageeb is an excellent language teacher; he is extremely accomplished with all areas in his language and his teaching concepts. He is social and funny yet knows what you need to do to help you succeed.
I personally have been ranked first in my French class this year, my final year which is the year it counts for.
Of course you have to be willing to learn the language. If you are willing and Nageeb is your teacher, then those two go perfectly hand in hand for you to succeed.

A French teacher extremely accomplished in language and teaching concepts
- It is no exaggeration to say that my French grades have more than doubled ever since Nageeb arrived. Not only is he the most organized and enthusiastic tutor I have ever had, he is also an expert in capitalizing on his students’ existing language backgrounds to make learning more efficient.
As a student of two other foreign languages, I found this approach refreshing and devoid of the unnecessary frustration usually associated with learning a new language from the “ground up”. Furthermore, his indepth personal knowledge of the spoken and more practical side of French allowed me to effectively apply what I learnt, transforming learning from a chore to a joy.
Hence, I strongly believe that anyone wishing to learn or improve their French can do no better than Nageeb and his team.

A French language teacher with a difference
- I cannot stress enough the experience of taking French with Nageeb. From the structure of the syllabus to the actual tutoring, taking French with Nageeb changed my entire attitude towards the language because of its depth, completeness, and overall quality. Nageeb made French a fun and enriching experience to go through.
Whatever I learned - the grammar, the conjugation, the vocabulary - was explained and put in the relevant context which made the learning faster. This allowed me to absorb more in a shorter period, and still maintain the quality of what I was learning. Emphasis was placed on the details, such as the pronunciation and phonetics.
A pleasant (and still unbelievable) shock I often get is that many native French speakers assume I have lived somewhere in France, given my acquired accent. I would highly recommend anyone considering taking French - whether it be for the first time, to improve, or to learn how to use it in a practical sense - to take it with Nageeb and his team.

- To be able to teach French one has to be qualified, assertive and patient. My daughter is so fortunate that she has a teacher with these qualities. Ms. Karen as we call her, is so flexible that she is able to adapt to my daughter's learning needs. When my daughter is in difficulty, she never fails to give her motivation to encourage her to learn French all the more. She is an amazing teacher and I feel so blessed and honored to have found her for my daughter.

I feel blessed to have a Frenchfaster teacher for my daughter
My 11 and 8 year-old boys couldn't have had their interest in French going if they had not met Karen.
Karen provides wonderful materials from her library to show my children. Especially, useful and beautiful illustration books are more than enough for my 8 year-old son to keep as his favourites.
My 11 year-old son has shown noticeable progress in verbal French as well as confidence in the new language.
I'm so glad I have Karen to enrich my children's interest to explore beyond their mother tongue and English.
