Experienced French teacher, world traveler, polyglot, and living in Montreal. Note: I will most likely stop my teaching activities at the end of August 2026. Born in Canada, fluent in English (C2 level) & French, I’ve lived in Hungary, Monaco, Italy, Mexico, Spain (2013-23), and Antigua. I’ve studied 8 languages myself, so I understand the frustrations learners face. Supportive and adaptable, I adjust each lesson to your goals and style, offering clear explanations, structured courses, and insights into both Canadian & European French. I teach all levels, no problem. Key highlights: * Psychology & Int'l Finance graduate with 25 years exp. as a senior commodities trader * Teaching French since 2017 in a university (Spain) * Delivered 6,000+ private online lessons since 2022 * Hosted 500+ group sessions (conversation, pronunciation, structured A1–B2 courses) * Real-world business experience + psychology = effective teaching * Clear, structured methods help students progress quickly & build confidence * I can provide all explanations in English or French, as you prefer. 🚫 - I don’t teach French to minors (less than 18 years of age) - I need to leave the lesson at the end time in order to not be late for the next one. 📌 Cancellation: If needed, please reschedule the lesson at least 24 hours in advance. If not, the lesson will be considered completed & paid. 📌 Late policy : I will wait for you for the first 15 minutes of the lesson. 📌 Compatibility: I reserve the right to decline lessons if the student–teacher fit isn’t right.
