Bonjour!

I am an exchange student at Todai (the University of Tokyo - Faculty of Economics) and I offer private lessons of French or English in Tokyo.
Being a native French speaker, I can teach you my language whether you are a beginner or fully advanced! The same goes for English lessons :)

My home university is HEC Paris, a French top-tier business school, ranked 2nd best business school in Europe by the Financial Times.

I am an experienced teacher, used to tutoring teenagers and adults. I would love to make you discover French/English cultures and languages. My teaching style will depend on your goals and your level (for example, basic conversation, grammar, vocabulary...)

Looking forward to meeting you!

I am a professional pianist, who have over 20 years experience in teaching piano and music theory.

I teach all ages, beginners to professionals, have many international students, and a class for Associations Franco-Japonais (AFJ), in English, French, and Japanese.

I also prepare students for exams or competitions, such as Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM, ARSM, DipABRSM), and Advanced Placement (AP) Music Theory, etc., and most of my students have achieved with distinction.

In my class, considering capabilities of each student, we will work and find together what is the best way for them to enjoy music, based on technical assurance and control, matching musical interpretation, communication, and delivery.

Teaching locations will be at a lesson studio in west Tokyo (Kamishakujii), student’s home, or online. Group lessons are able only for music theory at student’s home or online.
Hybrid lessons (combining face-to-face and online lessons) are also capable.

I would be happy to help you to achieve any music goals.
Please feel free to contact me for further informations.

Hello, I am Samuel!
I am a university graduate with a passion for languages, currently fluent in French, English, and Spanish. My specialty is English for Business, I can help you improve your language in the workplace and help you study for exams such as the Eiken and TOEIC. Writing essays, emails, and research papers are also part of my portfolio. As a student myself, I can guide you through my methods of teaching and hopefully share my passion for languages. I also accept students who only want to improve their conversation in English or seek assistance in homework. I am happy to adapt to the student's level and needs. I have recently started learning Japanese so I can only accept students with a foundation in English. I hope to be the right teacher for your learning goals!

In this French pronunciation course, we’ll explore the importance of mastering proper pronunciation at both beginner and advanced levels. Whether you're just starting your journey with French or aiming to perfect your accent, this class is designed to help you speak with clarity and confidence.

Enhanced Communication: Good pronunciation ensures that you're understood by native speakers. It allows for smoother conversations and eliminates confusion, helping you express your thoughts effectively.

Increased Confidence: With correct pronunciation, you’ll feel more confident speaking French. Whether in casual settings or formal conversations, mastering pronunciation gives you the assurance to speak without hesitation.

Cultural Connection: Proper pronunciation is crucial for building deeper connections with French speakers. It shows respect for the language and its culture, helping you blend in naturally during social interactions.

Better Listening Comprehension: As you improve your pronunciation, you'll also gain a better understanding of spoken French. Recognizing nuances in accents and sounds makes it easier to follow conversations and media content in French.

Improved Vocabulary Retention: Properly pronouncing words helps you retain and recall vocabulary more effectively. It strengthens your memory of new terms, making them easier to use in everyday speech.

Faster Fluency Development: Focused practice on pronunciation helps accelerate your overall language learning process. A solid pronunciation foundation allows you to move forward more quickly in achieving fluency.

Grammatical Accuracy: Understanding how pronunciation impacts grammar, like liaison and elision, will improve your overall language skills, giving you a more polished and professional sound.

Apeal to Native Speakers: A clear and accurate accent can help you sound more like a native speaker, reducing the gap between you and those who speak the language natively. It’s one of the key aspects of sounding fluent.

Whether you're just starting to learn French or you're at a more advanced level, this course will provide practical tips, exercises, and real-world applications to help you refine your pronunciation skills and enjoy the richness of the French language to the fullest.

Have you always wanted to learn piano or improve your playing? Whether you’re a complete beginner or an advanced pianist, this class is designed to help you develop strong technical skills, musicality, and confidence at the piano.

With over 20 years of playing experience and a diploma from the French Conservatory of Lille (3ème cycle – highest level), I provide structured yet fun and engaging lessons tailored to each student’s needs.

🎶 What you will learn:
✔️ Fundamental techniques (posture, hand position, finger strength).
✔️ Reading sheet music and understanding music theory.
✔️ Playing with expression and dynamics.
✔️ Classical, contemporary, or personal repertoire.
✔️ Ear training & improvisation techniques.

Lessons are available in French and English. Whether you’re a beginner or preparing for advanced exams, let’s make music together! 🎹✨

Basketball remains a sport, a hobby so above all, the goal is to learn while having fun. The student will be able to learn the fundamentals of basketball as well as more advanced basics. But I am available to each student depending on what he wants to work on. I played in a small league in Los Angeles and France so I can also teach Western, American basketball.

Life is a source of sharing, so passing on a sport that I have practiced for 20 years to the younger generations is something important to me. The sessions will be above all fun to convey the desire to continue playing basketball. Of course there may be a little moment of competition that is the basis of the sport.
