I am a certified French teacher trained by Alliance Française, with over eight years of professional experience.
I also work as a theatre dramaturge and lighting designer, and I approach language the same way I approach a script or a stage: through structure, relations and transformation.
I studied Japanese at INALCO and directed a language school in Cambodia. I have taught several hundred students, from complete beginners to advanced exam candidates.
My work sits at the intersection of linguistic rigor and dramaturgical thinking.
I teach during two fixed blocks each week. These blocks are carefully protected to ensure quality and focus.

Me as a Teacher
I work with:
• Advanced learners who want depth and nuance
• Professionals who need precision and credibility
• Exam candidates (DELF / DALF / TEF / TCF) seeking structured preparation
• Artists, writers and intellectually curious learners
I am demanding but supportive. My objective is not quick fixes, it is lasting mastery.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching is grounded in cognitive-science research. Each lesson integrates:
- Memory-encoding strategies
- Deliberate, structured practice
- Metacognitive reflection
- Progressive automatization
I frequently use film and theatre dialogues to train:
• Intonation in context
• Subtext and pragmatic function
• Natural phrasing
• Grammatical precision in real usage
This is not casual conversation practice — it is linguistic craftsmanship.
Because I remain active in theatre production, my availability can vary during production periods. I intentionally keep a limited number of students to ensure depth, quality and long-term progress.

Gaëtan est un super prof. de français. Ses cours sont adaptés à mes besoins et très agréables. Grâce à lui, j'ai appris presque tout le français que je connais aujourd'hui. Je recommande vivement ses cours à tous ceux qui cherchent à améliorer leur français.

Comme toujours, une leçon parfaite. C'était (imparfait) très productive pour moi. Mais je suis sûre, que la prochaine leçon serai (futur simple) même plus géniale! Si on continuait comme ça, je passerais DELF B2 en mai! (présent conditionnel). Mais, ç'est pas un condition, je suis sûre! Allons-y! (impératif).

Merci, Gaetan, pour tes corrections et cette sorte de leçon. Pour moi, c'est une opportunité formidable d'avoir corrigé mes écriture à temps.
