OUR TEAM
The AFM team consists of highly qualified and university trained instructors. Each one has extensive teaching experience and a deep passion for their work. With instructors from all around the globe, we bring you the vast Francophone world all in one place. The Francophone world is diverse, and our instructors represent the many varieties of our dear French language, and work to introduce you to it. They are skillful at adapting to learners of any age, objective, or language level. The AFM instructors are capable not only of designing French programs for specific purposes, but also of teaching to learners of any origin, adapting to unique cultural, phonetic, syntactic, and lexical backgrounds. And to top it off, our instructors are as friendly as they are professional – and are looking forward to meeting you!
