About Me
italki teacher since Apr 5, 2017Interest topicWritingTechFilms & TV Series
Bonjour! I'm a native certified professional teacher of French. I have 23 years of experience teaching adults, online and in different countries (France, Syria, Romania, Japan), and from different nationalities and of all levels and needs. I help students learn and improve reading, listening, conversation, writing, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, as well as French for specialized purposes (medical, technical, job search, etc.).
My studends and I enjoy discussing topics in art, culture, literature, movies, technology, economics, humanities, history, work, education, lifestyle and, yes, politics!
I’m a student of languages myself, and currently studying Japanese and Italian.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, when a student speaks, I could summarize my approach as both friendly and firm listening. Friendly because I listen attentively, empathetically, and respectfully (I don't cut them off, I note errors or other appropriate wording in the chat). At the same time, I analyze all the mistakes I hear, whatever their nature, in order to ask for clarifications, correct them, and then propose an alternative.
For students who want to improve their writing skills, I aim to bring out the unique writing style of each student by focusing on vocabulary, syntax, verb tense and mood, sentence structure, and grammar while providing timely input on approach and articulation.My lessons & teaching style
- Examinations preparation: DALF, DELF, TEF, etc.
If your goal is to pass the test but master French later, I’ll set you up for success!

I use a textbook and share supplementary to optimize your learning experience.

J'ai pris deux séances pour mon CV et ma lettre de motivation avec Luc et ça a été au-delà de mes attentes. Il est très patient, réfléchi et accorde beaucoup d'attention aux détails. A chaque fois, il m'a donné plein de conseils pertinents. Et en classe, nous avez discuté de chaque point afin que les documents soient plus adaptés à ma situation réelle et au poste auquel je souhaite postuler. Après deux modifications, mon CV et ma lettre de motivation sont beaucoup plus claires et convaincants. Donc pour ceux qui voudraient améliorer les documents administratifs, je vous recommande fortement de le contacter !

I took a series of lessons with Luc to prepare for a job interview and they were extremely helpful. After analyzing my cv, cover letter and job offer, he offered a series of personalized lessons in which he would help me not only improve my grammar but develop a series of strategies to succesfully carry out the interview.
These lessons were complemented with homework I would have to finish for each lesson as well as a series of additional material he would share with me to study such as relevant articles and case studies which I could read about in this preparation process.
I am very happy I took these lessons and I am very grateful of Luc's personalized approach and interest in my preparation. Merci!

I’ve been taking classes with Luc for three years now and our session is always a highlight of my week. When we started working together I was not at all confident and I made a lot of grammatical errors. Thanks to Luc’s good humour, encouragement, and practical advice I now feel much more at ease using French. There are always new things to learn, and new mistakes to make, but classes with Luc are hugely entertaining, not least because he goes out of his way to find materials that will interest me. I’ve learnt about French culture and society, as well as about the French language, and I’m always impressed by how generous Luc is with his time and energy. He’s an exceptional teacher and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
