Here's what people have to say:

You are an incredible teacher and we extend to you our gratitude and thanks for giving our son the confidence to openly have a conversation in French (something he did not do until he received lessons with you). Now, he speaks French freely in the home and is improving each and every day!         Mom and Dad in Eden Prairie

Madame Diane is a fabulous teacher.  My daughter (6 years old) and I  go for private classes with Diane.  We learn a lot in a day (40minutes) in a very enjoyable way.  We are always greeted with a big smile and the table is ready for an unique way of learning for that day.  Diane adjusted the format and duration of the class so that it is easy for a six year old who is coming after a day of school.  Following are some of the comments my daughter made after recent classes "That was very short!!"  (time flies when you are having fun and my daughter believes all time should be play time) and "I like French''.  
Diane is a Francophile and who better to learn French from.  Yes, sometimes in class during winter we dream of being in the French countryside!!  As an adult I had no confidence that I can learn any new languages.  I have realized that with the playful way Diane teaches my daughter (games, puzzles, acting), I have memorized a lot of French in an year.  At 6yrs old my daughter is learning to read, write and speak French.  I am sure my daughter and I will look back at the sweet memories of going to French class and she as a 6yr old always getting higher scores than Mamma (wink!!).
I am grateful that I met Diane.

My experience with French tutor, Diane Sands, has been a wonderful experience!  Diane is knowledgeable, helpful and patient.  She lets the goals of her students guide the pace of study and seamlessly brings the daunting experience of learning a foreign language as an adult student to a manageable pace based on individual needs.  I would recommend Diane to anyone who wants to master French language and culture in an enjoyable atmosphere.
