Many adults who already speak French feel that something is not quite right when they speak. They can express ideas, but it often feels approximate, unclear, or not fully natural. Sometimes, they don’t quite sound like themselves. In most cases, this is not really a vocabulary or grammar problem. It comes from how the language is built in speech, especially pronunciation, rhythm, and structure. In my lessons, we focus on that level. Not just practicing speaking, but rebuilding how your spoken French is formed, so it becomes clearer, more stable, and more precise. This includes pronunciation, grammar, and expression, not as separate elements, but as parts of a coherent whole. Speaking is not something that improves by chance. It needs to be built carefully, with attention to how sentences are formed, how sounds are produced, and how ideas are expressed. My role is not just to correct you, but to help you notice and adjust your own speech. Instead of giving answers immediately, I guide you so you can find them yourself whenever possible. This helps you build a deeper understanding of how the language works. I pay close attention to details that are often overlooked, especially pronunciation and structure, because these are what make your speech clear and stable over time. The goal is not just to practice speaking, but to build a way of speaking that you can rely on.

I started with Cedric as a complete beginner in French. I was looking for a teacher that would be extremely picky with pronunciation and Cedric truly delivers. He constantly gives me feedback on anything I mispronounce or if my intonation is off. Learning with Cedric’s special method (Silent Way/Pronunciation Science) eliminates the usual guesswork involved with simply listening to and imitating audio. I've even been able to apply what I’ve learned about pronunciation with him to improve my German. Cedric is really patient. For example, it took 5 lessons before I was proficient with the French R and he kept working on it with me and giving me feedback and resources. I feel comfortable and have fun at our lessons. Cedric is positive and encouraging when giving feedback and teaching; I leave our lessons excited about what I’ve learned. Cedric quickly answers my questions and reviews my notes outside of class. I look forward to progressing more in the French language with Cedric.

Cedric is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He knows a lot about pedagogy and he is a specialist in innovative teaching frameworks that will guarantee you will be fluent in french in the fastest way possible. I literally was speaking french in about three months and many native french speakers were surprised by my pronunciation. If you are serious about learning french do not doubt hiring Cedric. You wont regret it.
