Hi ! 👋 I teach French & try to have a positive impact in people's lives. 🙏
I’m Canadian-Italian with a strong background in business and finance. I’ve lived in Italy, Mexico, Hungary, Monaco, Spain, Antigua and Barbuda, to name a few... 🌎
I have completed yacht design courses & studied German, raised horses & organized a convention in Mexico, skydived once & hiked in Spain often, ventured into Bosnia, Thailand, Panama & 20+ other countries. ✨ Each day is a gift. ✨
For the past 25 years, I’ve worked as a commodities trader. I’ve also been teaching French to learners of all levels since 2017, starting as a teacher in a Spanish university south of Barcelona, with 120 students . ✅

It's always a pleasure speaking with Francois. Our conversations are as natural as possible given my level of French, so I often forget I'm in a 'lesson' and that I'm speaking French!

François m'a donné de bons conseils pour améliorer ma prononciation avant mes vacances à Montréal.
Il a été très patient et m'a bien conseillé. Je recommande.

I just finished a fantastic session with François and highly recommend him! He's incredibly encouraging and makes learning French enjoyable. His explanations are clear and easy to understand, and he's a great conversationalist. François is clearly passionate about teaching and genuinely cares about his students' progress. If you're looking for a supportive and effective French tutor, look no further!
