"When stuck with the bug to tune my French skills back up again, I contacted PLACES. The broad educational experience of Kathy   Koritzinsky was apparent from the beginning. Kathy offered a wide range of reading, listening and conversation options that could be adapted to my personal interests and needs as an adult learner."
