Experienced and passionate teacher |Gain confidence in speaking french and build up your vocab I’m kind and curious, and love connecting with people from all over the world. My journey as a language learner has given me firsthand experience with the challenges and joys of mastering a new language. Before teaching French, I worked a decade in hospitality, mainly in concierge and guest services in France, England, Argentina, and Australia. These experiences have helped me to guide my students not just in the lovely language journey, but in cultural understanding and real-life communication. I trained at Alliance Française so you can trust in my teaching foundation. I speak several languages myself (Spanish, English, Portuguese, a bit of Serbian and a bit a Chinese), which has helped me to relate to learners from many backgrounds. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, traveling, swimming, and playing tennis. If you’re looking to learn French for travel, work, or simply to communicate better and more naturally, I’m here to provide you my assistance so that you can reach your goals and unlock your full potential.

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!

Valentin et tout à fait l’un des meilleurs professeurs sur italki. Peu importe le sujet ou la domaine, on se retrouve dans les conversations enrichissantes et édifiantes. J’ai tellement de la confiance en moi-même maintenant par rapport à mon début et c’est grâce à des professeurs comme lui. J’ai hâte de découvrir quoi que ce soit le sujet pendant notre prochaine leçon !

Valentin is very patient with me, and explains things well. I am a bit slow to pick up language, but he is always encouraging. He speaks French regularly, but will translate if I ask him to. If you want to learn the language, I highly recommend Valentin.
