Information about 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 90 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.

Please contact me for any more information you might require.

• Needs analysis and assessment of level.

Michel is very easy to get on with and is extremely good at his job! He challenges you and helps you get to the answer, without telling you the answer. We have only just started tutoring with Michel, but are excited to continue enjoying his lessons!

Michel gave me French lessons online for a number of months and I`d highly recommend him as a teacher for any adults wishing to learn French, particularly for professional use. He`s patient (very important!), knowledgeable and able to explain technical language concepts in ways that are easy to understand and remember.

I`ve been doing French lessons with Michel since September and could say he is a very professional tutor and an extremely interesting person. He does every single lesson so exiting. His tutoring manner is so far from regular boring language lessons and I find it very helpful and highly recommend him.

I met Michel through an online recommendation and have been working with him since February 2016. I have always had a great passion to learn French through a love for the language but consistently struggled to find a teacher that could match my enthusiasm. To say that Michel has been able to harness my enthusiasm and inspire a thirst for knowledge is an understatement. His contribution to my education has been revolutionary. Not only am I now able to converse in French to a high level but with the confidence that I didn’t think was possible. His knowledge of several languages, history and culture has inspired me to widen my own knowledge. Despite achieving top A-level results from a leading London school and a first-grade degree in Economics and Politics, Michel’s teaching method is something I have never encountered; a particular attention to structure, fundamentals and building strong systemic foundations. I whole-heartedly recommend Michel and have no doubt that his charisma, experience and ability will add great value to any individual and/or institution.

Professor Michel is very knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. I felt privileged to have been taught by him. Prof Michel is patient and provided me with printed materials and sent me many materials online too and thanks to him I`m back on track with my studies.
