Bonjour, je m’appelle Jean-Baptiste! I’m a French teacher from Nice, on the sunny French Riviera, and I also love exploring the world through my filmmaker and photographer hats.
I’ve always believed that learning a language is one of the most exciting ways to open the world. After studying History and Geography in Lyon, I focused on storytelling and traveled to 30 countries, from the turquoise shores of Greece to the vibrant streets of India. Along the way, I discovered how much I enjoy helping curious minds unlock the beauty of French, through culture, conversation, or everyday life.
Let’s make your French journey fun, engaging, and effective! I’ll guide you with care and enthusiasm 🤝

Me as a Teacher
Teaching and sharing knowledge are my passion. Making French simple, enjoyable, and meaningful is my mission!
My background in screenwriting and love for languages helps me create lessons that are structured yet lively. I value regular reviews, simple explanations, and steady progress, while keeping a warm atmosphere where you can speak freely and build confidence.
I adapt each session to your goals and pace, so you always feel supported and motivated!
Whether you are…
- Beginner looking to build a solid foundation in French.
- Intermediate learner aiming to gain fluency and confidence, or preparing for exams.
- Professional seeking to refine their French for work.
My lessons & teaching style
I teach French not just as rules, but as a living expression of culture, emotions, and everyday life. Each lesson blends clarity, culture, and conversation.
We can learn French through movie clips, discuss your favorite books, authors, or any passions that inspire you, and explore topics you love: cinema, literature, travel, cuisine, or anything that sparks your curiosity. Practicing real conversation is central, and lessons are playful, goal-focused, and personalized. You’ll always feel free to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow at your own pace.
If you’d like to learn French in a lively, cultural, and authentic way, I’d be delighted to be your teacher!

It is always a pleasure to take lessons with Jean-Baptiste! My improvement from my perspective has been nothing short of incredible. Only a month ago I could barely introduce myself. Now, lessons have become a place for me to express much more complex ideas and involve significantly higher level exchanges with Jean. Do not hesitate to schedule lessons with him, I can assure it will be worth it.

Jean-Baptiste is an excellent teacher. He is very patient and knows exactly how to teach a non-native student. His lessons are well structured and encourage me to work at my level.

Had my first trial lesson, and it went really well. The instructor was energetic yet calm, and explained things in a way that was easy to understand. Thank you

Jean-Baptiste is a natural communicator who uses his skills to create an open-minded environment for his students.
He is very easy to talk to, with a sense of humour and plenty of patience for students anywhere on their journey to fluency. He is also a filmmaker and great storyteller with a great sense of curiosity.
His deep understanding of French history is ideal for the student who is looking to pair their language learning with a historical context of France. Lessons are never boring!

I’ve been taking his lessons for quite a while now and I really enjoy them. I always look forward to each session. He is very patient, informative, and takes the time to explain things clearly. I’ve learned a lot and feel more confident thanks to his teaching. I would definitely recommend him!
