Yvan

I started working with Yvan for TEF preparation but then I switched to TCF preparation, and I can’t recommend him enough for both. He is an exceptional teacher - always well-prepared, patient, and encouraging. He doesn’t just correct grammatical errors; he also suggests more natural and elegant ways to express ideas in French. What really stands out is his positivity and the way he makes learning feel lighter and more enjoyable. Even on days when I feel overwhelmed with work or not in the mood to study, his sessions always leave me feeling more confident and motivated. Every class is thoughtfully structured; he comes prepared with subjects for practice and not a minute of the session is wasted. I always walk away with new insights and a renewed sense of progress. I’m truly grateful to have found such a dedicated and inspiring teacher. Merci beaucoup Yvan!

I've been taking lessons with Yvan for a year. Yvan is an excellent teacher. He is always well prepared and chooses very interesting videos/topics to discuss. His interview style conversation are incredible. He was able to improve my vocabulary, grammar and conversational skills a lot. I've taken lessons with multiple teachers on Italki and I would rank him as one of the best here. Thank you, Yvan.

Yvan is a great teacher. I already improved my speaking skills.

Thanks for answering all my questions about the DELF B2, and for your encouragement and critique of my monologues. After so much practice and with the structure that you have helped me put together, talking on a random subject no longer seems so daunting and I feel (almost) ready for my exam next week.

Hello, Yvan helps me a lot to prepare for the DELF B1 exam. He is a good teacher and he explains well. He is punctual and his course is really aligned with the exam questions.

I’ve been learning French with Yvan on iTalki, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! Each lesson is thoughtfully structured and tailored to my level and learning goals. He is patient, encouraging, and always makes the classes engaging and enjoyable. What I really appreciate is his ability to explain grammar clearly and provide plenty of opportunities for conversation practice, which has really helped boost my confidence. Yvan is also very punctual, professional, and well-prepared for every session. Thanks to these lessons, I’ve seen real improvement in my speaking, listening, and overall fluency. I highly recommend Yvan to anyone looking to improve their French in a supportive and motivating environment!
