All lessons will be virtual, lasting one hour combined with assignments to complete between lessons.

Depending on your motivations for learning French as well as your existing knowledge (or lack of), I'll be able to create a curriculum & lesson plans tailored to get you to that goal. Whether it be for travel, work, or simply for fun - together we'll establish what works best for you.

I generally offer two styles of teaching, depending on your levels or if you speak any other languages.

The first is mostly spoken French, where we will cover several themes and topics, to begin forming sentences & quickly build up your vocabulary.
This is based on the teaching models of Gianfranco Conti, built around sentence builders.

The second is tailored for people who already speak two or more languages, more oriented around grammar. This allows for bi-linguals to better understand how the syntax is formed as well as to build on potential existing knowledge they might have in another language, allowing you to intuitively notice similarities and synonyms that may exist.

Provided is also a summary of my background and where I've applied my French speaking skills over the years:
