About Me
italki teacher since Jun 2, 2020InterestsScienceTravelFoodSports & FitnessHistory
French, born in Paris, of Argentinean origin, I have lived in Paris, Geneva, Barcelona, New York, Buenos Aires and I have also travelled over the world.
I have worked in various fields, from fashion to real estate, including catering and insurance sales of all kinds.
This has allowed me to accumulate a maximum of vocabulary concerning these experiences, a better knowledge of different cultures and a self-confidence to express myself in any kind of field.
I practice: ice hockey, soccer, martial arts, skiing. I like music (son of a musician artist), I play piano. I like cinema, theatre, politics, as well as sciences related to philosophy, psychology, spirituality, nature and the universe.Me as a Teacher
From beginner to intermediate level, I help to understand French in order to be able to communicate in French-speaking countries.
I studied at the Rudolf Steiner school which gave me an approach to learning based on spirituality, human value and its artistic side, at the private school more specialized and supervised and at the public school with more standardized and free methods.
Empathetic, curious and open-minded, I will be happy to learn more about yourself. I suggest that we focus on documents based on your interests.
Patient, positive and competitive, I am a perfectionist in all I undertake, we must know how to take the time to correct ourselves in order to give and get the best. My lessons & teaching style
We will start by defining a study plan based on your language learning objective.
The most important thing is to learn the phonetic differentiation of French. I favour the presentation of the different sounds between French and your native language in order to get you used to a good pronunciation.
We will study the practice of conjugation, ways to retain vocabulary and grammatical techniques to avoid making mistakes in French, with real-life situations and different media such as analysis of photos, videos, audio files..
I can adapt to areas that are essential to you (work, relationship, tourism).
Feel free to ask me questions or book a trial lesson so that we can discuss it together.My teaching material

Yona’s lessons are awesome. It’s easy to tell that he’s genuinely passionate about teaching French in a way that’s clear and understandable, especially for someone still wrapping their head around the language. I’d 10/10 recommend him.
