Claude's classes go well beyond excellent language instruction to become explorations
of the world we live in, of ourselves, and of our roles in the world.
— James Ransom, Professor Emeritus Haverford College
Small-Group Classes
To speak and write in a foreign language can create the space for the presence, openness, and joyful exploration we need to look at life and experience ourselves differently. In my classes, you will have the space to express and share of yourself in profound and meaningful ways, you will be nurtured by creativity and connection, and gain insights that will never cease to surprise you.
In those classes you can expect to...
Expand your French vocabulary and knowledge
Be inspired by stimulating conversations
Converse in French with increased confidence
Create a collection of essays, memoirs, or poems
Deepen your French writing voice by exploring personal themes
Blossom in a warm and creative environment
