Information about Christophe
I am a successful, energetic and creative French native speaking teacher. I am also a language & Communication skills training professional.
I teach all levels one to one classes from elementary to advanced in a 60-90-120 minute session depending on the time you have at your disposal and how quick you want to progress. In addition, 30 to 60 minutes personal work (exercises/revision) during the week is required for faster progress.
Intensive courses (6 hrs per day or 12 hrs per weekend) are possible to organise with prior notice.
My fields of expertise are:
- Communication, Media & Marketing
- Law, Finance & Insurance
- Geopolitics & Energy
- Art & Culture
- Food & Art table
I like to create a student/delegate relationship based on mutual respect and trust.
After setting the objectives (realistic ones please!), the language target level or other needs, I will tailor the tuition to the individual, students or corporate clients based on their personal interests and requirements. At the end of the agreed teaching period, I will provide a progress report with areas for improvement and resources to facilitate this.
The projects which are generally entrusted to me are many and varied such as:
- reaching next language level
- exam preparation
- proofreading
- studying book or story
- improving diction and pronunciation for actors, singers or public speakers
- grammar
- working on a speech/text privately for a wedding for instance or professionally
- assisting with a task
- conversation
I also teach groups (small and large) for all sorts of requirements: traditional French lessons, cine-club, cooking group, working on a theatre play
And because I have extra hidden skills, I can also direct it! That means the French lessons can sometimes turn into a theatre rehearsal!
Learning a modern foreign language (MFL) must be fun for students so it is my task (and my speciality!) to devise activities/ role plays which makes lessons enjoyable, sometimes memorable. I also attach a lot of importance to oral expression and therefore to pronunciation (my other speciality!!). By the way, drama method and exercises for improving diction/pronunciation are very efficient!
Beyond the objectives outlined, I aim to provide students/delegates with solid foundations as well as some tricks and strategies to enable them to be more confident (and efficient) as a public speaker or a simple communicator in every day interpersonal communication.

I cannot praise Christophe enough! He always came prepared and gave such thorough sessions with handouts etc. that really proved helpful. He was always available over email/phone and was great for recommending further reading. My school predicted me B/C in French A Level and I got a high A! Christophe was definitely worth the investment in tutoring!!
