About Me

I’m a native French speaker from Paris, and I’ve been living in London for many years. I hold the TAF certification and have experience teaching French to both adults and teenagers — in private lessons as well as small group settings.

Before becoming a French teacher and executive coach, I worked as a corporate lawyer for many years. This background helps me understand the needs of professionals learning French for business or work-related purposes.

My teaching style is flexible and adapted to your goals: general French, conversation, grammar, exam preparation, academic support, or professional use. Whether you’re learning French for personal reasons, studies, work, or relocation, I tailor each session to your needs and pace.

Lessons are available online (via Zoom or similar), and I can also travel to central London for in-person sessions at no extra cost.

If you're a student, a professional, or simply passionate about learning French, I’d be happy to support your progress in a structured, supportive, and enjoyable way.

Kevin
Non-formal Latin classes. Multilingual teacher with 10 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

Georgette
i teach French from age 10 years to higher education
I am very flexible in teaching. The aim is for the student to reach a target level as quickly as possible. For this I analyze during the first lesson where the shortcomings are and in this way draw up a learning program (always in consultation with the student/parents). I attach great importance to learning the perfect pronunciation. I also encourage learning to think in the language learned so that the language can be spoken as soon as possible. Of course I also explain the grammar rules that are indispensable. I am pleased when my students get positive results.

French courses for students in school and students who would like to improve in the language.
French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master. My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.

Marc
French Class for English Speakers- Option to take advanced class focused on Pronunciation & Grammar
This online class can be modified for all levels. In the beginner classes, we will start from the basics of the French language, including grammar, pronunciation, accent mark studies, and Francophone studies. We can also modify each lesson to be anywhere between 0.5 and two hours. French is a global language, spoken on every major continent. Even where French no longer holds official status, it very well might hold an official status. I can confidently build both fluency and proficiency as well as build your understanding of the francophone world.
