With seven years of experience in international cultural exchange—including coordinating volunteer work camps and collaborating with the European Voluntary Service via Erasmus+ partnerships—I’ve facilitated cross-cultural communication for global participants. Since 2019, I’ve transitioned this expertise into teaching French online, specializing in immersive, conversation-based instruction tailored to real-world contexts. My approach prioritizes natural language acquisition over rigid textbook methods, ideal for professionals, travelers, or enthusiasts seeking practical fluency. (Note: Instruction is exclusively for learners above 15yo to 65yo.)
Ik als leerkracht
According to me, learning can be fun and did in an alive and natural way.
Lots of foreign students admitted the academic way could be tedious overtime and when they obtained their degrees, they even couldn't really speak French naturally and fluency.
And because of that, I like to teach French in an "alive" way.
Please note: I DON'T WORK WITH CHILDREN because I don't have the skills to do that...
I only accept students from 15yo to 60yo.
Thank for your understanding.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
The method I use is what I call the "living" one.
It's indeed through "conversational classes" that you will be able to practice your oral skills, while with the informal tutoring, it will be more focused on the understanding, pronouncing and writing French as it is currently used in France.
And all of this in a natural and relaxed way.
This doesn't exclude, of course, some practical exercises, such as writing texts, reading or dictation, if the student wishes.
Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, I will be happy to accompany you throughout your "language odyssey".

Keuze van de leerkracht
J'ai suivi une leçon avec Patrick pour améliorer mes compétences conversationnelles. Il est venu avec un sujet intéressant pour discuter, ce qui est mieux qu'une conversation aléatoire je crois. J'ai appris plus sur les différentes vies françaises, et j'ai eu l'opportunité de réfléchir et partager mes avis là-dessus.

It was amazing, he corrected some mistakes I’ve been making for a really long time and nobody told me before I was making them. It was fun and I feel like learning French again!

Patrick has fascinating adventures in the French countryside and shares stories and photos. Our conversations are always interesting and informative with help with basic conversation structure, vocabulary skills and learning about French history.

Today’s lesson was amazing about a French seaside town. I enjoy these conversations of learning about France while learning words about everyday things (church windows, boat stop lights, waves). 10/10
