Native Parisian. I teach the French you actually hear, not the French in textbooks. | Paris | 4.9★ | Bonjour! 👋 I’m Sylvanus, a native French teacher from the Paris region. You’ve studied French for months, maybe years, but when a real Parisian talks to you, it goes too fast, and the words you learned seem to have disappeared? I’ve been there with my own students, and I know exactly how to fix it. My lessons are built around real French: how people really speak in Paris, with natural rhythm, everyday expressions, and even slang (argot and verlan) so you understand your friends, your colleagues, and your favorite films and songs. What you can expect: You speak from the first minute (no long lectures) Clear corrections on your real mistakes, with a short recap after each lesson Practical French you can use right away: travel, work, friends, daily life Exam preparation for the DELF, TEF and TCF A friendly, relaxed atmosphere where mistakes are normal Beyond French, I also teach English, so I understand exactly what learners struggle with. Ready to stop saying “Pardon?” and start understanding? Book a trial lesson and let’s talk!

Another great lesson with Sylv! When I started studying French, I was really shy and almost couldn't speak, but thanks to Sylv, the situation has completely changed. He made me feel at ease from the start and always provided interesting topics and constructive feedback to help me improve my speaking skills.

Sylvanus is an excellent French teacher. I’ve been having lessons with him for a few months, and with him I have improved my speaking, listening comprehension and pronunciation. He isn’t afraid to challenge his students, but he is always able to provide clear explanations for difficult points. I highly recommend him.

Made me feel at ease which is important as I don’t have much confidence. Communicated well and just had a good vibe

cannot recommend Sylv highly enough. In addition to our conversations, his books on conversational activities are outstanding! I’m seeing new approaches to things I thought I knew. I though I could order at a restaurant in Paris…done it numerous times. Using my classroom French worked, but now I understand how to do it using current expressions and idioms. And that doesn’t even touch on the argot. Finally thanks to Sylv, I can better understand what I’ve been hearing (though this will take time, I see now). And his patience must be legendary! Working with Sylv has taken my conversation to the next level..Merci beaucoup!

Another interesting class with Sylvain :) I wasn't at my sharpest today, but he was supportive and encouraging - showing a lot of patience!
