I have had 22 lessons (and counting) with Jean-Baptiste and he is a wonderful French teacher. He brings topics to each lesson and keeps our conversations flowing easily. I never feel judged or apprehensive to speak, Jean-Baptiste is always supportive. He will typically correct any obvious mistakes that I make, such as wrong gender or wrong word, but he doesn't nit-pick, which I appreciate. He also types his corrections into the chat box so I have them for future reference. We have a shared passion for cinema, so this topic provides endless opportunities for discussion. We also both enjoy history, languages, and other cultures, meaning that our sessions are never lacking for things to talk about. I would unreservedly recommend Jean-Baptiste to anyone looking to improve their spoken French. He is reliable, gentle, caring, and a genuinely nice guy.

I highly recommend Jean-Baptiste as a French teacher. He is always punctual, responds quickly to messages, and is incredibly supportive and accommodating. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about his students’ progress. His mastery of French is exceptional, and his accent is clear and neutral, making him very easy to understand. What truly sets him apart is his creativity—he goes beyond the standard textbook approach and brings engaging topics and fresh ideas to every lesson. He is also open to suggestions and adapts each class to my goals and interests. Our lessons truly fly by. There is always something interesting to discuss, and I learn so much in every session without feeling overwhelmed. I’ve made real progress in both confidence and fluency since starting lessons with him. I finish each class feeling motivated and excited for the next one. Jean-Baptiste is kind, patient, flexible, and highly knowledgeable. I recommend him to anyone seeking effective and engaging French lessons!

I am loving my lessons with Jean-Baptiste, and would absolutely recommend him to anyone wanting to learn French. The lessons/discussions are engaging, interesting, and challenging.

It is always a pleasure to take lessons with Jean-Baptiste! My improvement from my perspective has been nothing short of incredible. Only a month ago I could barely introduce myself. Now, lessons have become a place for me to express much more complex ideas and involve significantly higher level exchanges with Jean. Do not hesitate to schedule lessons with him, I can assure it will be worth it.

I have now had more than 30 lessons with Jean-Baptiste, and every one has been a pleasure. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and creative in his approach to French, combining great expertise with diligence, discipline, patience, kindness, and genuine respect for his students. Our lessons cover an extraordinary variety of subjects, and I am continually impressed by his breadth of knowledge and fascinating topics. He is equally attentive to my interests, making our conversations a genuine exchange. He has a wonderfully dry sense of humour! We invariably have some good laughs, making our lessons relaxed and enormously enjoyable. Jean-Baptiste has created a little oasis in my week, where I can set everything else aside and immerse myself in the richness and beauty of the French language. The time flies, and we always run out of it because there is still so much to discuss. I always leave having learnt something new and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Whatever your level, I highly recommend him!

I can't say enough positive things about Jean-Baptiste. I signed up for purely conversational lessons and it's been exactly what I hoped for. Sessions feel like catching up with a friend rather than a formal lesson. We share interests in travel, film, books, history, and politics, so our conversations are always engaging. He's patient and encouraging, especially as I don't retain things as easily as I did when I was younger. He tracks my mistakes during the lesson so I can review them later, and offers gentle corrections without breaking the flow of conversation. He has a great sense of humor that makes every session genuinely fun. And honestly, being able to make a joke in French and get a real laugh out of him feels like one of my biggest markers of progress. I highly recommend Jean-Baptiste for anyone looking to improve their French conversational skills.
