Michel

Award Winning Teacher

I’m a highly skilled French language training professional. I have many years’ experience teaching adult learners from diverse personal and professional backgrounds around the world and am equally adept at teaching private or corporate clients, 1-2-1 or in small or large groups. My speciality is teaching French for business, with particular expertise in the fields of finance, telecommunication, diplomacy, law and media.

Forget about those boring French classes you attended for years at school which left you with barely a smattering of French. My lessons are tailored to the students’ requirements and interests. You will need good sense, motivation and time - ideally, a minimum of 60 minutes tuition per week and at least 20 minutes a week revision/homework. You will make progress and you will never be bored.


Having spent much of my life exploring the world, I’m a polyglot who loves to travel and to communicate with people wherever I go. As a committed professional it is my pleasure to help students break through their language barriers.
