Native French Teacher & PhD candidate with 8 years of experience - Hablo español - говорю по-русски Hi, I am Alan and I would love to be your French tutor. Coming from the French part of Switzerland, I would love to help you learn my native language and improve your speaking skills. Having lived in Tunisia, England, and now the U.S., I'd also be more than happy to help you learn and/or improve your Arabic and/or English. Learning and teaching languages is my biggest passion. I also enjoy playing the violin, swimming, rock climbing, and traveling. My friends describe me as fun and hardworking, and I love meeting and talking to people from all over the world! I have been teaching French (as well as English and Arabic) for the last 10 years. Right now I teach French at a high school in New York City, and I also give Arabic lessons and English lessons to non-English speakers. I have taught these languages in England, Switzerland, and Tunisia, and I had students of all ages and all levels. I use interactive, fun, and yet productive methods that I have developed myself, and I focus on conversation and self-expression. With me you will not only learn the language, but also be equipped with the right tips and practices to make your language learning experience as enjoyable and as productive as possible. Keep learning and I hope to see you soon! My lessons are fun, engaging, and effective. I use PDF files, word documents, articles, videos, and games that I have designed myself. With me, you will be speaking, listening, reading, and sometimes writing. We will focus on your speaking ...

Alan is a superstar tutor! He always makes me feel heard and is a person I really want to talk to. He makes me feel comfortable to make mistakes and just to converse more spontaneously. You’ve just found an incomparable tutor and exceptional person!

WOW! What a great lesson with Alan! I felt truly inspired. He was very encouraging and supportive. The hour lesson moved quickly as Alan kept me fully engaged. I do plan to take more lessons with him. Merci beaucoup, Alan

Great - clear instruction, prefers immersion-based which is fantastic, but still helpful with translating for beginners and did a good job of figuring out where to start/coming up with a plan for future.

Alan is the real deal; talks the talk, he's a true polyglot and knows the French language inside and out, aside from a myriad of interesting conversational topics. He inspired me to learn more than two languages at once, as he himself is doing even more! Definitely give him a go if you can 🙏

Alan is a great teacher! He is very patient and encouraging. He explains the language in a way that I understand. I leave my lesson feeling inspired and motivated to learn more. I highly recommend him!
