About Me
italki teacher since Jun 26, 2018InterestsReadingScienceArtEnvironment & NatureHistory
« Bonjour, je m'appelle Christophe. Enchanté ! »
I’m a certified French teacher and a passionate language learner. In addition to French, I also teach Occitan, a Romance language spoken in the southern part of France, and Esperanto, an international language designed to be easy and fun to learn.
I enjoy intercultural exchanges, and helping learners discover the richness of French. I’m open-minded and curious about other cultures and perspectives — each lesson is a chance to learn from each other.
Don’t hesitate to message me if you have any questions — I reply to every message!
Me as a Teacher
I have nearly 20 years of experience teaching languages in a wide range of settings — from language schools and private institutes to online platforms. I’ve worked with adult learners of all levels, including professionals, university students, and language enthusiasts from many countries.
I hold a teaching diploma from Alliance Française of Paris, and I’m currently completing a master’s degree in language teaching methodology at the University of Grenoble Alpes — one of France’s top-ranked universities.
I'm also interested in cognitive science and enjoy using science-based strategies to support learning and memorization. My lessons & teaching style
On Italki, I offer 1-to-1 and group classes. Here are my 1-to-1 options:
📚 METHODICAL FRENCH STUDY
A complete, balanced course covering grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and culture — using textbooks and regular assignments. For beginners to C1.
💬 SPOKEN FRENCH CLASSES
Practice structured conversation and develop fluency, pronunciation, and natural, spontaneous expression. For learners from A2 to C2.

Excellent lessons, I make a lot of mistakes and at the end of each session Christophe leaves time to review each mistake and offer explanations. My goal is to make fewer mistakes, and learn more words and phrases. I’m slowly getting there.

My French conversation lessons with Christophe are both enjoyable and very useful. He makes sure we cover different topics so as to build my vocabulary in different areas, and he always chooses interesting materials that lead to a stimulating conversation. I love how he corrects my errors in a way that's effective but non-obtrusive, and then there's a record of them on Google Docs. Highly recommended!
