Bilingual French/English Tutor | Master Real-World Conversations Hi! I’m Nkeng, a native French and English speaker who turns language learning into lively, confidence-building chats. With 5+ years of experience, I specialize in helping students speak naturally—whether for exams (TEF/TCF), travel, or daily life. What sets me apart? I don’t just teach—I bridge cultures. Growing up bilingual means I understand the nuances that make conversations flow. Outside lessons, I’m a soccer fanatic, film buff, and storyteller (ask me about my adventures!). Let’s ditch textbook monotony—your lessons will feel like coffee with a fluent friend. 🚀

Joel is a patient teacher that made me feel very comfortable after not speaking French for 40 years! I have already signed up for another class with him.

I appreciate his engaging way of communicating and having real conversations about what is going on now as a way to practice. I would appreciate his typing into the chat words that I did not remember/ know so that I can go back and reference them later or use the typed words to help connect them to what he is saying.

Joel is very understanding and speaks to the level of French I can understand. He gives me feedback and corrects my mistakes, and he gives me things to work on in the future. I would definitely recommend him to improve your French.
