Bonjour,
My name is Nelson, I'm a native French speaker teaching in Italki for 3 years. Originally from France, I chose the island life to live in the Philippines.
I would describe myself as a positive person, easygoing and curious. I love to share my energy with my students. I firmly believe that learning French should be exciting.
I'm an entrepreneur and videographer with a Master's degree in Business. I'm passionate about travel, culture, business, and adventures!
And Politics (of course, I'm French) :D
I help beginners to advanced levels students learn French in a comfortable and positive environment.
Me as a Teacher
I am very patient and attentive, and I will do my best to help you reach your goals in learning French.
Every student is different, so my lessons are 100% based on your needs and your goals.
Over the years, I built efficient methods that help you achieve your goal.
Whether you want to speak French for fun, to travel in France, or land your dream Job in a French company, we can make the magic happen.
My experience and achievement as a teacher:
- 3 years of teaching on Italki.
- Top 1% Italki French teacher for the last 2 years.
- Hundreds of happy students.
But my best achievement is the success of my student:
Successful completion of the language test for French citizenship.

My lessons & teaching style
I enjoy teaching interactively, with a focus on discussion and interactions.
For beginner and intermediate students, I'm more structured; I like to include a small part of grammar, orthographic, and vocabulary learning. It will help you progress faster.
Based on your preferences, we can also include tools like videos, images, and articles.
For every student, I create a shared document that will be used as a "roadmap" to keep track of the lessons and allow valuable continuity.
I can also give you weekly homework if you want to go further in your learning.

This was only my 2nd lesson with Nelson and I already know I made a right choice with doing lessons with him! He was super patient when I struggled and attentive to what I said. He's great with getting the conversation going. I'm someone who prefers to be corrected asap by my tutors, so that I can learn & say the correct phrase right after. I liked how the 2nd half was for me to practice passé composé vs imparfait which I've been struggling with. Merci beaucoup Nelson et Joyeux Noël !

I have just finished my first lesson with Nelson and could n’t be happier. Nelson is really friendly and makes you feel relaxed from the start. His teaching was spot-on also and I am already looking forward to my next lesson with him. Highly recommended!!!
Merci!

I had a few lessons with Nelson so far, however I’ve noticed that I already have improved my French and started to remember a lot of what I have studied in the past.
You can tell he loves teaching, he has a lot of patience, is good at explaining, challenges you with different topics, pushes you to speak and gives you good examples.
I enjoy each lesson, I get a lot of energy and that motivates me and makes me want to learn not only the actual language itself, but also to discover more about France.
I am looking forward to continue with the enjoyable lessons and to be able to speak with confidence.
Nelson is really fantastic and I truly recommend him!
