About Me
italki teacher since Dec 12, 2013Interest topicEnvironment & NatureFoodArtTravelFilms & TV Series
I am a native French teacher and photographer, currently residing between Asia and Europe. With a classic Parisian accent, I offer online French language lessons. Additionally, I am fluent in English.
My journey abroad began in 2000, spending 13 years in London, UK. During my time there, I pursued my passion for photography and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Photography. Furthermore, I successfully completed a Cambridge TEFL/TESOL course, enhancing my teaching skills.
For the past 10 years, I have resided in Asia, where I embarked on various adventures as a photojournalist. Alongside my professional endeavors, I dedicated time to personal projects and spiritual development.Me as a Teacher
Passionate about language teaching, I embody a mindfulness-based approach that fosters a friendly, creative, enthusiastic, and unique learning environment. With years of experience in providing personalized one-to-one lessons to diverse teenagers and adults from various nationalities, backgrounds, and proficiency levels, I have honed my skills in catering to individual needs. Whether teaching beginners or advanced students.
I believe in establishing genuine connections with my learners, fostering meaningful interactions, and cultivating a strong rapport to collaboratively achieve their desired objectives.My lessons & teaching style
Welcome to my student-centered language lessons! Based on oral French, we will focus on speaking, listening, pronunciation, and grammar correction in context. I will polish your pronunciation, expand your vocabulary, and provide oral comprehension-based homework.
By incorporating your interests, experiences, and reality, we will practice speaking and build appropriate conversations, making the learning process fun and adjusted to your needs and level. Together, we will create an organic and effective way of learning. Let's embark on this language journey!

I have been practicing with Jonathan since February of 2020. The weekly conversation lessons have helped me improve my french dramatically. I recently ran into a French woman and found I was able to engage in an extend conversation with her. My French is still pretty simple, but Jonathan has helped me get comfortable using the French I know while gently pushing me to improve my knowledge of and fluency in French.

I have been taking weekly lessons with Jonathan for about a year now. What keeps me coming back is that we never run out of topics to talk about. And the supportive atmosphere he creates makes me feel comfortable making mistakes and learn from them.

I've been taking lessons with Jonathan for more than a year now, and I highly recommend him to anyone learning French. When I started, I could not have a conversation at all, but through taking these lessons with him I've developed pretty strong conversational skills. Jonathan has a lot of interesting and engaging activities for learning vocabulary, developing pronunciation, etc. Additionally, he is very friendly, personable, and easy to work with, which makes the conversations and lessons interesting, fun, and engaging.
