About Me
italki teacher since Apr 21, 2020
InterestsFoodMusicBusiness & FinanceFilms & TV SeriesTravel
Born in Canada, fluent in English (C2 level) & French, I’ve lived in Hungary (2000-05), Monaco, Italy, Mexico, Spain (2013-23), and Antigua (2023-24), and I enjoy new challenges—sailing, hiking, & building my own house. I’ve studied eight languages myself, so I understand the frustrations learners face. I began teaching French in 2017 at a university near Barcelona with 120 students and have since worked with doctors, engineers, expats, NGOs, researchers, and businesses... 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.

I love studying with Francois, it's the highlight of my day. I make a big leap forward with every lesson. He's genuinely invested in my success, this comes through each time. I learn in a variety of ways with him including drills, reading comprehension, recall and speaking, pronunciation, and grammar deep-dives. I have been trying to learn French off and on for many years... I don't think I would be continuing to study French now if I hadn't found Francois. One needs a caring, engaged, and knowledgable teacher and he is that person! I would recommend him to anyone at any level of skill.

A relaxed class, well organized and efficient, with clear, short steps to help learners make sentences. Learning from him offers an experience of the language itself, grounded in a broad-minded, thoughtful perspective.

Francois is very creative and responsive to his students' needs. I was very comfortable with him and will take more lesson with him again. Definitely recommend.
