Personable French Teacher at Alliance Francaise?

I'd like to take individual French lessons at the Alliance Francaise. Can anyone recommend for (or against) a particular instructor? I want a good teacher, of course, but I need someone who will understand that my energy is limited by age and by family obligations.

Bonjour!  I've been taking classes for over a year now at Alliance Française de Berkeley, and I'm very happy with the experience.  Each teacher is different, so you may want to talk with the organizer, Bettina, who you will reach at the info [at] afberkeley.org> email address.  She was super welcoming and super helpful in getting me into the right class.  She let me try out classes and then decide.  I haven't taken individual lessons, but I think she could help you decide what kind of teacher would work best with you.  Bonne chance!
