Regarding Pre-IB French classes, this man is the goat honestly. He's so enthusiastic about teaching and makes the class engaged with the music and in-class activities that I don't feel as stressed as I usually do in french classes haha. If you struggle with french already like me, you're gonna have to study a little more anyway but Mr. O'Rourke makes French so much more bearable than any other French teacher I had. I can't speak about regular classes since I was never in them, but I heard he might be a bit tougher, but other than that, he's great.
