Hello!

I'm Sylvain, a Native French and English second language speaker. I lived in France 21 years, 10 years in the UK and 3 years in Asia.
I passed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Education this year studying in the University of Oxford. I also hold a UK Masters with Commendation in Music, Film and Media and a French undergraduate degree in Audiovisual.
I have been teaching for 3 years in Ghana, Scotland, Hong Kong and the UK to students aged 2 to 45 years old, in schools, learning centres and as a personal tutor.
I have also worked in the corporate world in London for 8 years and know the reality of job market, job applications and private sector culture.

Respect, honesty, kindness and efficiency are very important to me and I want each of my student to become better in languages but also in other areas so I will share my personal insights about methodology and thinking.

Get in touch so we can work on setting up a plan to reach your goals.

Hope to see you soon!

English : I am a young student in Economics and Laws at the TSE university in Toulouse. Before my first year in university, I was in Paris, studying French literature, English policy, French History, Economics, Mathematics and Philosophy at Janson-de-Sailly. I have always been keen of learning and sharing my knowledge. Furthermore, I speak fluently Italian (C2) and English (B2). My involvement in association as Le Secours Catholique or my professional experience as particular teacher in French and Mathematics have given me an huge sense of pedagogy. I am delighted and always motivated sharing what I know with other persons !
French : Je suis un jeune étudiant en économie et droit à l’université TSE de Toulouse. Avant ma première année d’université, j’étais à Paris pour étudier la littérature française, la politique anglaise, l’histoire de France, l’économie, les mathématiques et la philosophie à Janson-de-Sally. J’ai toujours été très désireux d’apprendre et de partager mes connaissances. En outre, je parle couramment l’italien (C2) et l’anglais (B2). Mon implication dans l’association Le Secours Catholique ou mon expérience professionnelle en tant que professeur particulier de français et de mathématiques m’ont donné un sens immense de la pédagogie. Je suis ravie et toujours motivée de partager ce que je sais avec d’autres personnes !

Economics is the unstoppable subject for young people in high school, whether they are in business or not, and it increasingly leaves many perplexed. I thus set myself up as a "solver" of the problems of incomprehension of learners around the economics course as well as those related to the writing of subjects for better class averages.

Languages represent, among other things, the cornerstone of a more than bilingual world! In addition to teaching them how to better handle French grammar, spelling and conjugation, they will learn English and its many turns of phrase with me to be even more brilliant.

You will learn in a fun way so as not to learn stupidly but to really understand French. Learning French can be done from beginner to advanced. However, if you are a beginner and have another mother tongue, it should be English because it is the only language I can understand. The lessons will be at your own pace so that you assimilate French well.

I am a final year student in a dual degree in Architecture and Engineering. Having obtained my Scientific Baccalaureate with honors, I can give support courses in scientific subjects, literary subjects, English (I lived abroad for 1 year) or even methodology courses. I already have a little experience in helping with homework.

Thanks to my lessons, your children will be able to improve in the subjects they need, such as mathematics, French, English or even history-geography.
My goal is to help the student progress while making them love the subject.
I will adapt to the student's needs and have them work with different methods so that they learn as best they can.

French lessons for middle and high school students in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Effective preparation for the Brevet and Baccalaureate exams. Review of methodology, collaborative text analysis, writing practice, and grammar review. Mock oral exams to ensure you're fully prepared!
Spanish courses for pupils, students or adults.

Learn French with me. I've been teaching French for 10 years. I teach from A1 to B2 levels. I also prepare for the DELF and TCF exams.
I've been teaching French as a foreign language (FLE) in Toulouse, France, for three years. In my classes, I emphasize listening, reading, and writing skills.

Every learner is unique, and it is with this conviction that I approach teaching French. My courses are tailor-made to each student's needs and goals, whether it's to consolidate grammatical foundations, enrich vocabulary, refine pronunciation, or prepare for an official exam like the DELF.

A session always begins with a moment of exchange, an informal dialogue that allows the language to be reawakened and previously covered concepts to be reactivated. This moment is essential: it builds confidence, creates a bond, and promotes natural immersion. Then comes the time for structured learning. Depending on the day's theme, I introduce the concept through a variety of mediums: an article excerpt, a video, an audio recording, or even a thought-provoking image.

Far from rigid teaching, my classes are structured around dynamic practical exercises. Role-playing, simulations of real conversations, interactive exercises, and even analysis of authentic documents allow students to appropriate the language with spontaneity and enjoyment. Production, whether written or oral, occupies a central place in my approach: it is by daring to speak and write that we truly progress.

Between each session, I make sure to provide personalized follow-up. A course recap, sheets reviewing key points, and tailored exercises are sent to reinforce what has been learned. The goal isn't to pile up rules, but to anchor them in a vibrant and meaningful practice.

My goal is simple: to make French a language that we learn with curiosity and confidence, in a caring and motivating environment.
