Naman Maheshwari

I hold a Master's degree in Business Administration (MBA). While my academic background is in business, my passion lies in teaching French language and culture. I have been teaching French for a few years now, and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of students from diverse backgrounds, helping them develop their language skills and deepen their appreciation for the French language. In addition to my teaching experience, I am deeply passionate about the French language and culture. From mastering the nuances of pronunciation to delving into the rich history of French literature, I strive to instill in my students a love for the language that goes beyond the classroom. Beyond my teaching experience, I have a strong business acumen gained from managing my family business for over six years and working in various freelance roles in social media marketing. These experiences have given me an entrepreneurial mindset, allowing me to approach my teaching career with a focus on growth, strategy, and creativity. I’ve also worked extensively on content creation, having developed strategies for brand promotion and audience engagement across digital platforms. This background in content creation has proven to be an invaluable asset in my teaching journey, enabling me to craft engaging lessons that capture my students’ attention.

Delfina Azevedo

Some years ago I helped a student in India to an overall exam result of 96%. She started lessons with me at 44% and I got her to 82%. At that point she was teacher independent and got herself from 82% to 96% on her own, completely without lessons. Another had an A Star at IGCSE, and yet another got 90% also at IGCSE. I have been very good over my career at making students independent an able to reason and function in French so that they speak and / or write with fluency. If you apply the guidelines that I can give you, you can achieve excellence in French as well. I have been privileged to work with students that have been able to teach me a lot about my work. I am driven by their need to learn in their own way. I have taught language topics many times over, but never exactly the same way. Each student needs to learn from their particular angle. Bon courage!

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.

Over the years, I have developed a teaching style that combines structure with creativity, ensuring that my students not only understand grammar and vocabulary but also feel motivated to actively use the language in meaningful situations. My lessons are designed to be practical, interactive, and fully adapted to each student’s goals, whether they want to improve conversational fluency, prepare for exams, or gain confidence for professional or travel purposes. I strongly believe that learning a language is also learning about culture, so I always integrate cultural insights, real-life examples, and authentic resources that bring the language to life. With patience and clarity, I guide students step by step, helping them build a solid foundation while fostering curiosity and self-expression. My classes are a safe space where mistakes are seen as part of the learning journey, and encouragement is constant. By combining modern resources, engaging activities, and a supportive atmosphere, my ultimate goal is to make language learning both effective and enjoyable. I am committed to helping each learner discover the joy of mastering a new language while achieving real and lasting progress.
