I'm passionate about teaching and languages. 🌍📚 With 4 years of experience in conversational French and 6 years in the school system, I support my students with patience, kindness, and enthusiasm.
Originally from Metz, in eastern France, I spent 7 years living in Albania and Kosovo. These years abroad allowed me to discover new cultures and deeply enriched my teaching approach. 🌎✨
Outside of the classroom, I'm also a saxophonist 🎷 and love sharing my passion for music. I'm always eager to travel, explore new traditions, and connect with people from all over the world. 🧳✈️
Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching conversational French for 4 years, helping learners — regardless of their level — build fluency and speak with greater confidence. 🗣️💬
Having lived abroad for 7 years, I truly understand the challenges non-native speakers face. My approach is personalized and adaptable, tailored to each student’s goals — whether for everyday conversations, travel, or professional projects in French.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are fully personalized 🌟 — whether you want to improve daily conversation 🗣️ or speak more confidently in a professional context 💼. In our first class, I assess your level and goals 🎯. Then, we focus on real-life conversations — from simple to complex topics — while learning useful vocabulary and natural expressions 📚. At the end of each lesson, you’ll receive a PDF with written corrections ✍️, new vocabulary, and notes to help you review and progress ✅.

Damien has been teaching me for just over a year now. When I started I could only say Bonjour and Salut. But, thanks for Damien I've progressed massively. He's been very diligent and keen to see me progress. Thanks Damien.

Damien is an outstanding teacher. He has helped me a ton, is incredibly attentive and invested in his student’s success. Anyone who is looking to learn French (or any language he teaches) would do well to have Damien as their teacher.

Damien is an excellent tutor. He is friendly, engaging, and encouraging. I've been taking lessons with him for about 8 months, and have felt such a huge difference in my speaking ability and confidence.
