About your french tutor

Call me Monsieur Marc, a passionate French tutor with over 3 years of experience teaching French to students from age 3 to 55 ! I specialize in personalized learning experiences tailored to your needs. From total beginners to advanced learners, I offer expert teaching in various subjects like Travel, Business and Grammar & Vocabulary French If you pick me, be sure to benefit some Career guidance, French culture immersion and of course Homework help, giving you a well-rounded journey. Please don't hesitate. Do you need help with French pronunciation (I have a simple method that works 100%) or maybe you're preparing for your French oral tests and are looking for someone who won't laugh at your mistakes and who would actually give you tips and strategies to pass those tests, then look no further! Because 6 years ago I was in your exact position! I teach French for beginners, kids, adults and even intermediate learners with a focus on practical skills and real-life application. I've worked in France as a language teacher for 3 years now and I've taught students in Elementary, Middle school and Highschool, therefore I've had the chance to work with students with special needs such as ADHD, Dyslexia etc. i believe I have what it takes to help you, or your brother, sister or whoever learn and actually speak French. In about a month, depending on how frequent we meet for classes, I assure you, you'll be able to present yourself in French perfectly and with the Parisian accent (without my help, all on your own!) My classes are always fun-filled. I'm Monsieur Marc, the fun teacher. We'll watch videos, play Kahoots, learn songs and actually sing if you're interested (I play acoustic guitar and sing, that's how I mastered the language fast, through songs). Bienvenue!
