Me as a Teacher
Here's what makes my lessons different:
Most students study French for years and still freeze when they need to speak. That's because they've been learning about French not speaking it.
In my lessons, you speak. A lot. From the very first minute.
✔ Guided conversations adapted to your exact level
✔ Instant corrections you improve every single minute
✔ Real-life topics: travel, work, daily life, culture
✔ Grammar explained simply, in context never boring
✔ WhatsApp support between lessons
🏆 95% of my DELF/TCF students pass their exam
🌍 Students from USA, Australia, Canada, UK, Japan and 40+ countries
My lessons aren't just classes they're conversations that build real fluency.

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.

The class with Sylv was fun! He really connects with students and the class was very accurately adapted to my level which made it possible to learn efficient and in a relaxed atmosphere.

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!

Working with Sylv is fantastic! He is so organized and his method of teaching is incredibly logical and engaging. I’ve been fumbling around with French for years and with Sylv I finally have a clear path forward. Merci!
