About your french tutor

Hello! My name is Stephan, I am Native French and I’ve been teaching both English and French to English speakers for the past six years, with the last three years focused specifically on online education. I’ve worked with students of all ages and backgrounds, helping them develop practical language skills that they can use in everyday life, at school, or at work. My approach is supportive, interactive, and tailored to each learner’s needs and pace. I offer a full curriculum with over 150 hours of structured teaching material designed for beginner to intermediate levels (A1 to B1). Whether you're just starting out or looking to build confidence and fluency, I have ready-to-use resources that include engaging activities, grammar explanations, listening practice, and conversation prompts. My goal is to make the learning process smooth, motivating, and fun. I hold a Master’s degree in Sport Education and a Bachelor’s in English Literature. Beyond academics, I’ve lived and worked in different countries, which has given me firsthand experience in adapting to new cultures and languages. This has shaped the way I teach—always with empathy, cultural awareness, and a real passion for communication. I look forward to helping you on your language-learning journey!

French classes at a glance

In my lessons, I focus on making the language easy to understand by using clear explanations, real-life examples, and lots of practice. I always speak slowly and clearly, especially when introducing new vocabulary or grammar. I make sure students feel comfortable asking questions, and I check often if everything is clear. When teaching French, I explain new words or grammar points in English so there’s no confusion, then we practice using them in French through conversation and exercises. Each lesson includes speaking, listening, reading, and writing practice. I also review what you’ve learned to help it stick. With over 150 hours of structured material for A1 to B1 levels, we can follow a clear path, but I’m flexible too—if you have specific goals (like travel, work, or school), we’ll focus on what matters most to you. My method is simple: clear, patient, and always focused on progress.
