My name is Olivier, I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and I am of French and Swedish nationality. I lived in France, England, Sweden, Denmark and now Brazil. I love travelling and as you've just read, I never really stay at the same place for too long to satisfy my wanderlust. Also, I do enjoy sharing culture from different countries, whether it is about food, beverages, local expressions, places, TV shows, popular culture, fun facts, memes, music and much more.
Me as a Teacher
I trained as a creative, doing campaigns for international brands. While I was studying in college back in Sweden, I used to teach French and English. As I now have been travelling around for more than a year, teaching languages is a good way of being active and meet new people at the same time. I only teach French and Swedish. English is a way to give discounts.
My lessons & teaching style
Conversations and exchange are key. It is important to be able to talk and not just listen and write down things that are said by the teacher. That is why I prefer building a solid base (pronunciation, subtle differences etc) and letting the students improve by having interesting chats until the goal is reached.
I usually find articles, videos and documents related to what the students enjoy, make them read/see, correct some mistakes and then have a conversation about it.

Olivier est vraiment un bon professeur. Il est à l'écoute et donne de la motivation. Merci encore pour cette leçon. Je le recommande vivement.

I saw awesome reviews regarding Olivier but I was disappointed.
It felt very uncoordinated and uncooperative. There were so many pauses where I was waiting for further instructions. I explained to him I was a complete beginner yet he asked me to introduce myself in French. As a teacher you are suppose to ask questions regarding the Student’s level and cater your lesson to their proficiency.
Overall, he seemed disinterested in teaching me anything.

My experience learning with Olivier has been really good, French is a completely new language to me but over the past month I've been able to pick up quite a lot of vocabulary very naturally.
If you are looking to take on French and are a complete new comer, I can guarantee you'll feel great after your lessons with Olivier, he gives you the time you need to develop at your own pace.
