About Me
italki teacher since May 10, 2021InterestsMusicSports & FitnessWriting
I am from the South West of France. I am currently living in sunny Lisbon, Portugal.
I am a serious and hilarious teacher at the same time.
Through working with Italki, l feel l have enhanced my teaching ability. I have also developed my communication skills, and l am now able to showcase strong skills in clear communication, adaptability and flexibility, and in promoting the love of learning my language.
As a teacher, I will create discussions for my students, where they can put their knowledge into practice, develop their own views on classroom content, and consolidate what they’ve learned.
I will be delighted to have you as my students anytime you want.Me as a Teacher
I teach from beginner to advanced, and I am good at teaching all age ranges, from 6 - 50+ years old! I look forward to meeting you.
My goal as a teacher is to improve my student’s education and help them grow knowledgably. I like to see students at different levels develop with each other and learn. I want to challenge the students and watch them grow to their highest level of education. Therefore, having the students interacting with me is the best educational strategy. I want my students to have freedom with whatever creativity they want, and to allow them to express themselves at any time. With this freedom, my students will be able to develop some strong communication skills.My lessons & teaching style
I am a native French speaker and therefore all words and expressions come naturally to me. Although I am not a native speaker of the English language, and despite my French twang, I speak English perfectly.
I have experience in preparing for DEFL diplomas (levels B1 and B2) and in preparing for the First Certificate.
Please join my class and seize the opportunity to learn one of the most beautiful languages in the world with an amazing teacher. There is no doubt in my mind that you will be making some quick progress within months. Learning languages is a long process, but l will try my upmost to teach you French in 3 -4 months. With me, you should be able to get to the level B1/B2.My teaching material

I am beginner level in French and François is perfect for me. Half of our lesson is a more formal teaching with books and videos, and another half is more informal conversation. Since I have very limited vocabulary, François writes down everything I am trying to say. This way he does not stress me, but at the same time he encourages me to work harder on my French.

Francois es excelente, me sentí confiada, ya en la primera clase me ayudó a recordar mucho del idioma que había olvidado. Explica y corrige, pero también ayuda a hablar y no se siente que estás estudiando. Muy ordenado y atento a detalles. Y puntual.

François is passionate about teaching French and fully dedicated to his students' success. In his lessons, he uses a variety of resources, such as curated videos and guidebooks, to ensure I grasp core grammar concepts and understand how French is spoken in France.
In addition to the guided materials, François makes each lesson personal by asking thoughtful questions and focusing on areas where I need the most practice. He tailors the lessons to my specific needs, which keeps me engaged and motivated.
So far, I’ve gained more confidence in both my speaking and writing abilities, and he has sparked a deeper desire in me to continue improving. I highly recommend François to anyone looking to learn French!

Francois is an excellent teacher! Highly recommended - he is a great listener, and knows how to keep the conversation going. He corrects your mistakes, but in a subtle way that does not make you hesitate to explore more advanced linguistic constructions. He’s very encouraging.
