Want to learn French with an artist? 🎨 Former teacher at Harvard and ENS-PSL alum in Paris, I’m both a painter and a grammar & pronunciation expert.
Are you an absolute beginner, or do your memories of high school French feel like a total mess? Let’s bring structure and order to all that! Using authentic materials — articles, literature, film clips, and even art — I make sure you learn French in the most effective way.
Intermediate or advanced? Let’s tackle your pronunciation, fix recurring grammar mistakes, and provide intensive exam preparation for TCF, TEF, or DELF/DALF.Me as a Teacher
I studied at ENS-PSL in Paris, have 5 years of private teaching experience, and taught French for one year at Harvard. Now back in France, I continue teaching French online to help my students make progress.
I support learners of all levels — from complete beginners to advanced students — and adapt to your goals and needs. My lessons focus on authentic communication: feeling confident speaking, writing, and expressing yourself in French.
I love to speak of art and to draw with my students. Whether you enjoy creating, discussing masterpieces, or just want to speak French in a fun and structured way, my lessons are tailored to your interests and goals. My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, you’ll learn French through drawing and exploring the works of famous French artists, from Romanticism to Impressionism and beyond. But if you prefer, we can speak of any other matter that interests you !
My courses are all about you and your interests:
– Fun guided conversations to help you speak more fluently and naturally
– TCF/TEF & DELF/DALF exam prep with real practice topics and smart strategies
– Grammar and vocabulary integrated naturally, so learning feels alive and useful
– Art-inspired activities to make French creative, engaging, and memorable
I always provide clear feedback, corrections, and practical tips, so you can track your progress and improve quickly.My teaching material

Wow! Ada is absolutely one of the very best tutors I have met on Italki. He is both a great conversationalist and a truly brilliant explainer of language. I asked him about a complicated grammar point and he gave me a thorough and accurate explanation off the top of his head; and then, when we weren't talking subtleties of the French language, he was consistently funny, warm and overall a pleasure to talk to. I truly would recommend his lessons to anyone!

I cannot ask for a better teacher! Ada is so encouraging and kind. He not only taught me how to speak French confidently but also about French's culture, society and people. He helps me preparing for my test in such a constructive way, always give me feedback and kind. It was such a pleasure to have him as a guide!

I really really enjoyed my grammar lesson with Ada; what I love the most about him is that he would give me my lesson and we will go over it. He will explain what the grammar is and then in the chat, he will write the pronunciation of the words and that made it so much easier to communicate and to read and understand
