About Me
italki teacher since Apr 29, 2016InterestsPets & AnimalsMedical & HealthcareSports & Fitness
Hi there!
Are you another victim of boring, fruitless language classes in school?
I will teach you how the language is really spoken and we'll have fun in the process.
Besides French and English, I speak Spanish, Portuguese, German and Arabic.
As a certified teacher, I'm here to help you with communication, grammar, writing, or exams.
In conversation, I love to talk about sports, literature, cooking, dance, psychology, yoga, fitness, TV shows, comedy, mythology, words, minimalism, and more.Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching on Italki for 4 years.
I like to make my students comfortable. I am patient and supportive when learning gets difficult.
I have been through the language learning process many times. I have a million tips for you.My lessons & teaching style
I will plan a lesson specifically for you, regardless of your level.
Beginner students are grateful for my clear pronunciation.
Advanced students like the wide range of vocabulary that I teach them.
After our lesson, you will receive detailed written feedback that you can read and study at your own pace.
I make sure that our conversations are engaging and that you do most of the talking.
My main teaching tool is audio material such as videos, podcasts and music. Let's train your ear!My teaching material

Olivier is an exceptionally adept and wise language learner. When it comes to language teachers, I believe it's critical to have a teacher that's done it multiple times to articulate the ins and outs of the process to real success. Olivier's knowledge of this process is palpable. Recommended!

I really enjoyed our first introduction class. I felt as if I had reconnected with an old friend. I hope this was the first of many sessions to come. Thanks Olivier!
