Bonjour,
I'm the creator of a visual method that uses symbols to represent words, tenses, & grammatical aspects, representing each word with a clear and obvious symbol, helping your brain to memorize and make complex sentences.
This tool is great for people who want & need to visualize what they’re learning.
Moreover, illustrations make your learning experience more fun, easier, but also incredibly effective
With those symbols placed side by side, you will start to talk from the very first class guaranteed! Kids learn their native language visually, why would we use another method with adults?
I'll help build your confidence, did you know what a foreign accent is? It’s a sign of bravery
Me as a Teacher
For the past 10 years, I've been teaching French in NYC (Tribeca School), in Shanghai (Fudan University) & Rio de Janeiro.
I have a lawyer degree but I've followed my passion for languages and teaching French is my main activity.
I quickly grasp the strengths and weaknesses of my students, and I like to challenge them during the class so the lesson is neither too easy nor too hard. I also adapt my lessons according to your needs.
I just need to know your wishes, and i will prepare every time a special lesson for you, in accordance with your interests.
My lessons & teaching style
Why should you study with me?
I have observed that some of my students have learnt French in school for many years, some could write and read, but mostly they couldn't speak French.
That's why I've created a visual teaching method that works principally with your visual memory, because my first goal is to speak with you as soon as possible only in French.
For more advanced students, the program includes the study of:
- Slang.
- Songs
- French expressions & their origins.
- Grammar points and different tenses
- Broaden your vocabulary in various current events topics
- Refine your pronunciation and your accent
à bientôt
Romain

I've been taking French lessons with Romain on and off for a couple of years now. When it comes to what makes him special or different, several things come to mind. I really appreciate Romain’s dedication to explaining everyday conversational language and slang terminology. Learning these aspects on one's own can be challenging. Besides being a teacher, Romain is also a musician who willingly shares his love of music with those interested. Thanks to him, I've curated an extensive playlist of fabulous French songs. There is no way that I would’ve discovered all of those songs (of such excellent taste!) on my own. Although we haven’t used this approach in a while, I remember that when we first started lessons, we utilized his visual system. For beginners or for those who feel a bit rusty, I believe that this system provides a great way to get started. It certainly helped me gain more confidence in speaking.

Romain is a wonderful instructor! We just had our first beginner lesson for my child, 9 years old -- so fun, challenging, and engaging.

Every lesson so far has been exceptional. I know many teachers on Italki get 5 star reviews because thats the way things have gone here, but Romain, is in a league of his own. His preparation and years of hard work to build his visual teaching platform, makes for a very organized and productive lesson each time. As I wrote in a previous review, this is a much better approach for beginners and intermediates than just trying to have an open ended discussion about whatever comes up.

Romain is a terrific teacher with an impressive intellect , his teaching method is super effective and his classes are really interesting. I enjoy taking both the private and group classes, time flies when you are having fun and learning at the same time. He is always on time, with a great attitude and spirit. I highly recommend him as a teacher.
