The French language is a bit of a scary beast isn’t it ? I’ll help you domesticate it so that it becomes your trusty companion!

- flexible methods to suit your needs, rhythm and learning preferences
- grammar to understand the language and/or natural free flow conversation to improve your vocabulary, listening skills and pronunciation

I'm a 41 year old truly bilingual (Cambridge C2 certified) Geneva native who's been learning English since he was 6, and a few other languages since then (Italiano, Deutsch, 日本語 and ภาษาไทย). I've studied literature, education sciences and information sciences.
I am trained in modern teaching methodologies, I design tailored lessons built around real-life communication rather than repetitive textbook drills.
I love teaching, I have first-hand experience of how challenging and intimidating it can be to learn a new language, and a desire to build bridges with what you already know in YOUR language(s).
I'd love to share all of that with you in a way that fits you specifically, so don't hesitate to shoot me a message if you want more info.
I'm focused on making learning fun but don't get it twisted : I'll take your progress to heart and work hard to that end.

Speaking English when you're not a native speaker can be a little daunting.
Is my accent too strong? Does my vocabulary sound a bit like gibberish? And how do you even pronounce "gibberish"? What's that strange expression I heard?
Do you want to:
- interact better with your international colleagues and clients
- make yourself truly understood by locals when you go on holiday abroad
- chat comfortably with expats at the pub or gym
- feel more confident writing professional emails in English
- better understand American or British pop culture references?
For:
- complete beginners starting from scratch
- those who consider themselves beginners but just lack confidence
- intermediate levels
- advanced levels
