About Me

My name is Valentin, I'm 29 years old, French, and have been passionate about learning since childhood. Curious and versatile, I'm interested in many fields, including sports, art, science, literature, linguistics, and astronomy. This has led me to learn a great deal autodidactically and develop a clear, efficient, and enjoyable learning method.
For six years, I worked as a private tutor in France, an experience that confirmed my love of sharing knowledge. For a year now, I've been living in Vienna, Austria, where I continue to pursue my passion for languages and cultures and am motivated to live and teach internationally.Me as a Teacher
I'm dyslexic, and it's one of the best things that ever happened to my teaching.
Living with dyslexia while being obsessed with languages taught me something no degree could : what it actually feels like to struggle. The fear of making mistakes, the frustration of memorization, the mental gymnastics of sentence structure, the quiet battle with self-confidence, I've been there.
That experience doesn't hold me back. It's what makes me a better teacher. Patient by nature, clear in my explanations, and genuinely attentive to every learner's unique rhythm, because I know that the right method can change everything.
Everyone can learn. Sometimes it just takes someone who truly gets it. My lessons & teaching style
One conviction drives every lesson : language should open doors, not close them.
Every learner walks in with a different pace, background, and set of challenges, that's not a problem to work around. That's the starting point.
My approach is fully personalized and flexible, because a method that works for everyone usually works for no one. The focus is always on what matters most : understanding, speaking, and actually using the language in real life.
My role isn't to teach at you, it's to guide you. With patience, clarity, and support that turns frustration into momentum.
Language is a tool. It should feel like one.My teaching material

Teaching experience
2019 - 2025
Private piano teacherFor six years in France, I taught piano the way it should be, in people's homes, on their own terms.
My students ranged from a 5-year-old discovering the keys for the first time, to a 62-year-old finally living a lifelong dream. Over 100 students, every one a different story.
Music isn't reserved for the talented few. It belongs to anyone willing to sit down and play.
