About Me

Bonjour! My name is Edouard, I am a Certified French Teacher from France with over 17 years of experience. My goal is to help you reach fluency as fast as possible.

I am a French linguistic coach rather than a French Teacher per se. It means that I will coach you in between lessons so that you can improve faster. This is the only way to reach an advanced level in no time.

For example, I will give you "missions" by means of videos to watch and podcasts to listen to. You will also have to make voice and/or video recordings and also write short texts so that you can express yourself freely on virtually any subject.

I will also help you learn (or review) the basics of French if you need to and answer any questions you may have about grammar and syntax.

Here are 5 principles that will help you improve your French really fast so you can take the next step in your life:

1 - LANGUAGE IMMERSION: I use authentic documents during my lessons and in-between classes to make sure that you are learning French we actually speak in France. If you are also preparing for an exam (DELF, DALF, etc.), we will use some material used for these exams.

2 - ACTIVE COMMUNICATION: my lessons are made so that you are the one doing the talking. This is the best way for you to reach fluency fast. Also, I only speak in French during the class (I use English sparingly to "unlock" difficult concepts if needed)

3 - CUSTOMIZATION: You will learn faster if you are interested in the material. What's your passion? Sports, travel, cinema, dance? Feel free to communicate and I will adapt my lessons to your needs.

4 - DELAYED ERROR CORRECTION: Find out what wasn't correct later. I will provide you with personalized feedback at the end of our lesson, highlighting your main mistakes and how to correct them.

5 - SHARING MY OWN EXPERIENCE AS A LANGUAGE LEARNER: I will share the tricks and tips that helped me to master both English and Portuguese at a proficient level.

To start learning French effectively, make sure you have:
1. A stable internet connection;
2. Good quality audio equipment. A headset is ideal so that we can hear each other properly;
3. A quiet place and a rested mind.

Please feel free to book a trial lesson or ask any questions.

I hope to meet you soon,

Edouard
