About Me

With seven years of experience in international cultural exchange—including coordinating volunteer work camps and collaborating with the European Voluntary Service via Erasmus+ partnerships—I’ve facilitated cross-cultural communication for global participants. Since 2019, I’ve transitioned this expertise into teaching French online, specializing in immersive, conversation-based instruction tailored to real-world contexts. My approach prioritizes natural language acquisition over rigid textbook methods, ideal for professionals, travelers, or enthusiasts seeking practical fluency. (Note: Instruction is exclusively for learners above 15yo to 65yo.)Me as a Teacher
According to me, learning can be fun and did in an alive and natural way.
Lots of foreign students admitted the academic way could be tedious overtime and when they obtained their degrees, they even couldn't really speak French naturally and fluency.
And because of that, I like to teach French in an "alive" way.
Please note: I DON'T WORK WITH CHILDREN because I don't have the skills to do that...
I only accept students from 15yo to 60yo.
Thank for your understanding. My lessons & teaching style
The method I use is what I call the "living" one.
It's indeed through "conversational classes" that you will be able to practice your oral skills, while with the informal tutoring, it will be more focused on the understanding, pronouncing and writing French as it is currently used in France.
And all of this in a natural and relaxed way.
This doesn't exclude, of course, some practical exercises, such as writing texts, reading or dictation, if the student wishes.
Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, I will be happy to accompany you throughout your "language odyssey".My teaching material

Patrick is helping me build conversational skills each week. He shifts naturally between talking and listening in very engaging and encouraging ways. His recent travels have been a fun source of conversation for us and interesting for me as I learn more about Southern France

Patrick presented a recent trip to a chateau and it was fascinating to learn about the history, while discussing it together in French.
