French legal professional & science enthusiast ✔ Legal professional with a scientific background ✔ French with a Parisian accent ✔ Lived in Switzerland and Japan I'm a legal counsel (what is sometimes referred to as an "in-house lawyer"). I've worked for R&D companies and law firms in France and abroad, managing contracts and compliance matters in scientific research projects. My job comes down to two skills that translate directly into teaching: choosing words with precision, and explaining notions clearly to people who don't speak my "language", legalese. I've prospected clients, run negotiations, made presentations to executive boards, and conducted interviews... If your goal is to speak French in business situations, I might be your guy. There's no fixed programme: either you have a precise idea and we'll go from there, or you leave it up to me, and I'll adapt to your level: ⚔️ Beginners: Know the basics? Then you can already speak. ⚔️⚔️ Intermediate: Expand your vocabulary and polish your pronunciation. ⚔️⚔️⚔️ Advanced: Refine your phrasing and develop real nuance. Le petit plus : as a language learner myself (fluent in English, conversational in Japanese), I know what works for me, and what doesn't. I'm happy to share.

A very enjoyable conversation with Hugo, he gave me a couple of idiomatic expressions that will definitely be useful to me, I'd say he taught me some real french poetry. Recommended

Hugo is very helpful, friendly and entertaining! He gives useful tips/resources to remember certain words and tricky grammar rules. He’s great at catching grammar/pronunciation mistakes too. I feel a lot more confident about my upcoming oral expression exam thanks to him! I highly recommend 😄
