Tim Wilhelm

Bonjour - hello! My name is Tim. I’ve been a student of French since high school and a teacher of it for seven years. I became enamored with the language and Francophone culture quite spontaneously but this love took me on the most exciting of paths, including three years living, studying, and teaching in Lyon and Poitiers, France. I have always admired the teachers who helped me grow in life as well as in language, and it’s this admiration which I strive to emulate in my classroom. Understanding and using a language is all about communicating with others in myriad places; therefore it’s important that I expose students to French in all its forms, contexts, and possibilities. My classes capture the targets of language learning in equal measure: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Moving from vocabulary to grammatical structure, my objective is to help my students build off each new foundation, growing in confidence and basking in the fun at the heart of language and culture. I am a proud grammar nerd but believe contemporary pop culture holds an equal value in learning a language today. Join me in building more connections with new people and places!

Will Laferriere

I'm Will Laferriere, and my approach to teaching French is shaped by a B.A. in Linguistics and over 13 years of international language instruction, from teaching English in China to Spanish in the US. My specialty, and greatest pride, is guiding English speakers to French fluency. I’ve developed a unique bilingual methodology that uses your intuitive knowledge of English as a powerful tool to demystify French grammar and build a deep, solid foundation in the language. As a language nerd who speaks English, French, Mandarin and some Spanish and other languages, I have a deep understanding of how languages connect. This allows us to accelerate the learning process, building strong, accurate habits in pronunciation and syntax from day one. My goal is always to manage cognitive load, making the process feel like a fascinating discovery rather than a chore. This approach is so effective that even students who claim to hate French find themselves enjoying the journey to conversational confidence. Whether you're a beginner, an adult brushing up for travel, or an advanced learner seeking refinement, I’m excited to help you build your path to fluency.
