Bonjour! I’m a French native from Paris and a trained teacher with 11 years of experience. I love languages, sports, and travel—I'm fluent in French, English, Spanish, and Catalan. My lessons are interactive, motivating, and focused on helping you speak with confidence from day one. Whether you want French for work, exams, or travel, I’ll guide you every step of the way. Prêt(e) à commencer? À bientôt!Me as a Teacher
My first focus is active communication, with lots of practice in speaking, listening, and pronunciation. Vocabulary and grammar are always included, but as tools to help you become a confident speaker. My classes are fun and interactive, with games, debates, and competitions to keep motivation high. Every lesson is carefully prepared, and I regularly assess your progress. At the end of each term, you’ll receive a clear report with your strengths and areas to improve—so together we can track your progress and make French a language you truly enjoy speaking every day. My lessons & teaching style
In our first lesson, we’ll have a conversation with carefully chosen questions, allowing me to assess your level and understand your goals. From there, I design a personalised programme adapted to your needs. My lessons are always very communicative, with the main focus on making you a confident speaker. They are organised into clear units of content, with an assessment at the end of each unit to track your progress. If you’d like, I can also provide homework to support independent study. My style combines structure and clarity with fun, interactive activities - so lessons are always enjoyable, coherent, and effective!My teaching material

lezione molto interessante, perché ho capito come si pronunciano alcune parole, ma soprattutto dei verbi. Ma soprattutto spiegare cosa faccio nell arco della giornata. E' stato molto utile

Genial. Gabriel me ha ayudado muchísimo a ganar confianza y preparame para una entrevista de trabajo que tengo en francés. Es atento y muy paciente. Las clases son entretenidas y noto como mejoro cada día. Además, estan muy bien organizadas, se nota que se prepara para poder responder a mis necesidades. Es sin duda el mejor profesor de francés que he tenido!
