Bonjour ! I’m Ismail, a native French and Arabic speaker with a multicultural journey spanning Morocco, Canada, and Brazil. Born in Fes, gowing up and pursuing my studies in Montreal, and living in Brazil for the last 8 years have given me a deep appreciation for languages and the connections they create. I’m a polyglot who speaks 5 languages, so I understand the journey that you’re on. My experience as a humanitarian interpreter has taught me the power of language to break barriers and build understanding. Now, I bring this same passion to teaching, helping students not only learn French but also immerse themselves in its rich culture and nuances.

I passed my TCF and obtained NCLC 7 thanks to Ismail! After 4 attempts at TEF I was very frustrated and discouraged, but thanks to Ismail's structured approach and guided advice I finally reached my goal. He even gave me advice on how to manage my stress on the days leading up to the exam and how to structure my day-to-day study time. He is an extremely nice guy and an awesome person, I am so happy that I found his profile. If you are struggling with passing the TEF or the TCF I advice you to follow his approach and the structures he will give you for each task. Thank you Ismail and good luck to everyone getting ready to take the exam!

Ismail really helped me get more comfortable speaking French naturally. He encourages you to talk for as long as you can, which helps in developing confidence. He also provided a beneficial structure to prepare for the TEF and taught me how to organize answers logically, along with many helpful tips throughout the classes. I highly recommend him if you are looking to prepare for TEF/TCF!

Ismail is an excellent teacher. I have been taking lessons from him for almost a year now. Starting as a beginner, my french has improved so much. Each lesson is adjusted to my interests and we often end up in lively discussions, while still following a clear structure. I highly recommend Ismail!

TrĂšs bonne expĂ©rience ! J’ai beaucoup appris sur les stratĂ©gies efficaces pour rĂ©ussir le TEF. Ismail met Ă  disposition de nombreux supports (documents Google, livres, recommandations de vidĂ©os sur YouTube) et comprend parfaitement les exigences de l’examen. Il s’efforce de comprendre les dĂ©fis propres Ă  chaque Ă©lĂšve et crĂ©e des stratĂ©gies adaptĂ©es pour les aider Ă  progresser. Un autre point positif : il parle plusieurs langues, ce qui favorise une comprĂ©hension globale.

J’étudie le français avec Ismail depuis plus de six mois et je compte continuer avec lui. C’est un professeur trĂšs investi, qui adapte toujours ses cours Ă  mes besoins et Ă  mes objectifs. Son approche est personnalisĂ©e et motivante, et il sait vraiment encourager la progression. Ismail est convaincu que l’apprentissage d’une langue passe par l’immersion et par l’intĂ©rĂȘt pour la culture, ce qui rend ses cours vivants, efficaces et agrĂ©ables. Je le recommande vivement Ă  toute personne souhaitant apprendre le français de maniĂšre authentique et stimulante.
