By whatever measure, Rita is an extraordinary teacher.  Her mastery of the language and her imagination are limitless, while the ambiance of the Atelier is always relaxed.  A magnificent place to pursue the French language and French culture." - Carmel

"Rita is a gifted and inspiringteacher. Her lessons are challenging, creative and enjoyable. They encompass avariety of learning experiences that require students to think independentlyand give of their best. English is forbidden, thus ensuring a focus on ourshared goals of learning to communicate more effectively in French whiledeepening our understanding of French life and French culture. Rita is a keenobserver and takes into account individual needs as well as those of the group.
Rita creates an atmosphere inwhich everyone is welcome, relaxed and feels supported, essential preconditionsfor effective learning. Those of us who have attended her classes over manyyears have gained new friends and found ourselves part of a community ofenthusiastic Francophiles. While we come from diverse backgrounds andexperiences, our love of French creates a shared bond. We look forward to thetime we spend together as we move in and out of the different courses Ritaoffers.
To know Rita and to take part inany of her classes, is to have your life enriched by the warmth of herpersonality and the excellence of her teaching. Rita is a treasure. For anyoneserious about improving their French, Rita Orsini is the teacher you need." -

"I wanted you to know how much I appreciate that the group of Francophiles you have introduced to each other provides a companionship that goes beyond the shared love of studying French together, thanks to your ability to stimulate and open doors in our mind, and to your warmth of character. I think of our connection with great joy. Speaking from my own experience, you are very important to a lot of people in this group, and we are important to each other in many ways. I calculate we could have spent 20 years in each other’s company! Isn’t that remarkable! I am very much looking forward to next year’s discoveries and joyful moments. Chère Rita, thank you for all you do to enrich lives in so many diverse ways."  - Glenda B

"I just wanted to write to personally thank you for what was an extremely interesting and stimulating class. I came away totally satisfied with the work we did and the progress I felt I had made. I feel this is entirely due to your skill as a teacher. You always manage to create an atmosphere where one is stretched intellectually and yet made to feel safe at the same time. This, I believe, is the secret to good teaching. You also show complete patience and great good humour. I congratulate you on the work you do." - Victor K

"In 2019, when I first walked into the French 1 classroom, you let us stand together to introduce ourselves and talk with some basic French sentences. I was inspired […] This year, I am doing a Bachelor of secondary education in my fourth year. And when my parents ask me what kind of teacher I want to be, I always say that I had a very patient and helpful teacher, Rita Orsini, and I wish that I can learn her passion for French teaching and the perfect pedagogy to interact with my students. You are really the role model for me to improve as a pre-service teacher. Really appreciate your teaching!"(Dec 2021) - Viki Z
