I'm kind and curious.
I like meeting people from different countries. I've been myself a foreign languages learner for a long time so I'm very familiar with this journey.
I worked a decade in the hospitality industry, mainly in the concierge/guest service department in France, England, Argentina and Australia before turning into a french teacher because it means a lot to me to guide foreigners to learn my mother tongue and help them attaining their goals (cultural, pro, expatriation) and express their full potential. I trained through the Alliance Française school.
I also have interests in different topics (reading, language learning, philosophy, traveling),
I practice swimming and tennis.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I am completely involved and dedicated in my student's learning path. I strive for concrete and practical results. I make it a point of honor to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere in my lessons. We always learn better in an enjoyable setting, right ?
I also try to get to know my students as best as I can so that I can provide lessons matching to their expectations.
I am patient, supportive and I give regular feedback with the aim of improving your french-language skills. Besides, as a language learner myself, I'd give you some relevant tips about the learning. My lessons & teaching style
There is no rule of thumb when it comes to teaching as it highly depends on the teacher and on the learner.
However, you can be sure that in my lessons, the atmosphere is relaxed, engaging and you'll learn a lot of things about french language and french culture.
That being said, there is also one thing that is super important, the "langage-learning journey" as I like to call it, does not end right after our lesson, you have to make the french language your friend to some extent, expose yourself to it a good amount of time to remain motivated and determined to reach your goals. But no worries !! I will walk you through and provide you some materials and recommendations along the way.My teaching material

Valentin is awesome! I've been doing weekly lessons with him for the last two years, and my French has improved phenomenally during this time. He's a very kind and patient teacher, tailors the lessons to my needs and interests (I'm a musician that travels to France for work and sometimes need to learn specialized vocabulary etc), and he is always happy to answer questions or provide further explanation when a concept eludes me. Truly one of the best teachers I've ever studied with, in any subject. I highly recommend him!

C'est un plaisir d'apprendre une langue étrangère avec Valentin. Il a un don pour mettre à l'aise ses élèves et pour créer un environnement à la fois paisible et chaleureux. J'ai hâte d'aborder d'autres sujets avec lui dans l'avenir !

Valentin is the best. After almost 150 lessons over the past year, my french has improved dramatically. Thanks to his help and guidance. Valentin is thoughtful and patient. He can discuss any topic and he is passionate about teaching. He continues to be an exceptional partner on the journey of learning a new language.

Une leçon super intéressante avec Valentin. On parlait des oiseaux migratoires, le changement de climat, les auteurs français et américain, et, au final, les films comédie. C’était un vrai examen de mon vocabulaire avancé et me permettait d’exprimer des idées sur les sujets variés. Merci Valentin !

Valentin est exceptionnel comme professeur. Il crée un environnement très enrichissant et il me pose des questions intéressantes pour que je puisse pratiquer la langue plus naturellement. Il me fait sentir à l'aise pendant nos leçons et m'envoie un document après notre leçon qui note mes erreurs. C'est genial ! Merci Valentin !
