I am so grateful to you for visiting our class. Your visit was incredibly encouraging and motivating for me, and the students responded so positively too. You sparked a real interest across the school! Since your visit, almost all the students greet me in French, whereas before, only three or four did...

Lessons with Cynthia are incredibly beneficial. It is obvious that she is a language learner herself; she knows exactly which teaching methodologies work and applies them perfectly. Thanks to this, my French improves with every single lesson. At the same time, Cynthia is deeply creative and knows how to make every class engaging.

I had the pleasure of being taught conversational French by Cynthia Mayer for a few months and had a very positive experience. She was always very well prepared, knowledgeable, and able to explain concepts in a clear and engaging way. Her patience and careful attention to the needs of each individual student created a supportive environment that encouraged me to practice and inspired confidence in me to ask many questions. Her passion for teaching French really showed in every one of her classes that I attended and so I truly believe that she will continue to be an excellent teacher in her future career.

I have absolutely no complaints, I think it’s excellent. The students were able to practice what they learned with their teacher in a fun environment. The activities were well-suited to the different proficiency levels, and it’s incredibly creative. I genuinely think it’s wonderful for children, it really is. Thank you for this beautiful work.

I worked with Ms. Mayer on a group of Moroccan women who wanted to learn how to read and write. Some of them did not speak French. These women had never been to school in their home country. Despite the difficulty of this task, my trainee was warm and supportive; she encouraged every learner and took the necessary time to give clear explanations. Cynthia would stand up to go see specific students, look at them while speaking, and address them by their first names. She connected her teaching to their daily lives. The learning objectives were presented clearly. Cynthia organized progressive exercises and consistently checked for understanding of the instructions, her corrections, and her explanations. It was a pleasure to work with her and to improve my own teaching methods alongside her

I had the pleasure of working with Cynthia. […] She goes above and beyond to help others. When the going gets tough, she can step into multiple roles to get things moving. […] She is a great team player, an out-of-the-box thinker and a creative problem solver. She also has the rare skill of knowing how to break down complex concepts into simple examples. She would be an asset to any team!

Cynthia demonstrated an amazing self-motivation and eagerness to learn. […] Being keen to learn and doing her best is a part of her personality. Her communication and analysis skills are excellent. Moreover, as Cynthia worked with us in a bi-cultural environment, French and Chinese, using three different languages every day with no issue. At a personal level, it was a pleasure to work together as she has a cheerful, positive attitude and a smile starting in the morning.

One thing about Cynthia I admire is her proactive and results-oriented nature. I had the privilege of working with her as the co-Teaching Assistant for a Masters course and, any time a task was assigned to us, Cynthia would instantly complete it. She seemed to really enjoy her work and that passion was very inspiring. She was very innovative too and always tried to find a way to make the course more interesting. Cynthia is very dedicated when it comes to her work.
