TESTIMONIALS
Kayla L., Scripps College, CA
“Prof Rolland’s focus on improving our knowledge of idioms so that we might have natural conversations with French speakers, her constant encouragement for us to speak in class, the patience with which she helped us improve our accents, the conversations we had about current issues, and her accessibility greatly improved my French and prepared me for going abroad. If it were not for Prof. Rolland and her expertise in the French language, culture, and the patience and ease with which she transmits this information, I would not have been able to study abroad in Morocco and France with such confidence, and neither would I have been able to increase my fluency in French to have decided to major in it.”
Andrea k., Pomona College, CA
“Not only is she awesome, intelligent, and thought-provoking in her courses, but she’s also played a genuinely influential role in my decision to double major in French alongside Computer Science. I’ve taken a French class every semester at Pomona, and every class beside Professor Rolland’s was about literature. We talked about things like love, gender, metaphors, and poetry. Those classes were great, but there’s no denying that Professor Rolland was the standout, and the one to revolutionize my view of what should be covered in a French class.”
Ignacio S., UCR, CA
“She’s very enthusiastic and really just wants the students to understand the material. My best teachers have always been the ones who show the most passion when it comes to the class material. This French student was certainly impacted by her exuberance, now I’m highly considering leaving for France to finish off my graduate degree!”
Gillian M., UCR, CA
“I really enjoyed taking this course and found Christelle to be a great professor and someone who cares a lot about what she does and the material that she covers in class. I appreciated her sense of humor which always helped make class time even more enjoyable, and her helpfulness in French pronunciation. I really liked that she focused a lot on pronunciation and common French vernacular (figures of speech, sayings, etc.). Overall, I felt as though I learned a lot from taking this course and would definitely recommend Christelle to anyone looking to improve their French!”
