My name is Nicolas, I’m a French teacher since 2019 and I specialize in French Critical Thinking.
Critical thinking is the key that opens the door to richer understanding and more authentic expression in French.
When you get good at this, talking becomes easy and fun. It makes simple things, like ordering une baguette in Paris, become a piece of cake.
I have a passion for meeting diverse individuals, exploring new perspectives and languages.

Me as a Teacher
I’m patient and caring. I'm not here to judge you, but to support you in achieving your desired level in French.
Remember, making mistakes is an integral part of the learning journey. It's natural and expected when mastering a new language!
My lessons & teaching style
The depth of our conversations varies with the proficiency level. As we progress, we gradually explore more complex topics like politics, philosophy, science, current events, psychology, art, etc.
Once I understood your goals, the lesson starts.
First I’ll ask you questions which lie exactly between what you know and what you don't know. This is what I call the progress zone. You’ll create connections between ideas and concepts.
By talking you’ll make mistakes. Mistakes are the key to progress. I'll point them out, correct them and make sure you understand them. I'll ask you to create sentences with these new corrections so you really understand them deeply.

Nicolas is the best language teacher I've ever had. And this includes one's I had in an ivy league university. He's the only one who truly makes language learning fun, when learning a language is truly difficult. I am so terribly shy that dealing with a new person is really hard for me. But after the first few minutes of my first lesson, I knew my extensive research had paid off, that I had chosen the right teacher.
Nicolas combines all of the attributes of a great language teacher. He is very professional and manages to correct all of your mistakes while still making you feel good about how you're doing. He is good natured, genuinely interested in anything, very smart, patient, totally reliable and so much more. Both my confidence and my ability to express myself in French have improved immensely. I am very very grateful both to italki for providing such an outstanding opportunity and to Nicolas who, with his understanding and gentle nudges, has made my life even better.

Nicolas is an amazing teacher! He’ll make you feel comfortable from the very first minutes of your conversation, which is incredibly important when you are learning and practicing a foreign language.
He’s very patient and always ensures that you get your French right. And I can assure you that you’ll have great, chilled and fun time during the class with him. I liked my lessons with Nicolas a lot and you’ll definitely do too, totally recommend him!

Great first class! Nicolas created an environment where I felt confortable to speaking up and making mistakes, which he corrected right away. I look forward to our next class.

Nicolas was excellent! He helped me feel comfortable to just dive in and start practicing French, even though my French was very limited. I speak some Spanish, and his ability to help me take what I understood in Spanish and translate that to speaking French was so helpful. At the end he gave me a lot of resources to continue learning French. Definitely recommend talking with Nicolas! He is a great teacher!

Il est un enseignant très bon, qui écoute attentivement quand tu parles. Je me sens très détendu pendant les cours.
