Hi ! 👋 I teach French, starting in a Spanish university south of Barcelona, with 120 students in 2017, and now teaching people of all ages and from 50+ countries. ✅
I have studied int'l finance and psychology at McGill university and I’ve lived in Hungary, Monaco, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Antigua and Barbuda... 🌎 I have a strong background in business and finance, working full-time as a commodities trader since January 2000.
I like to have an interesting life. ⭐ I have completed yacht design courses & raised horses, organized a convention in Mexico & built my own house over a period of 10 years, skydived once & hiked in Spain often, and ventured into Bosnia, Thailand, Panama... ⭐
Moi en tant que professeur
⭐ I’ve helped doctors, expats, engineers, researchers, NGOs, retirees, job seekers, and more.⭐
I'm patient, supportive, and I adapt every lesson to your goals, timeline, and learning style. ✅
🟢 I teach all levels—from beginner to advanced—and explain in French or English, as you prefer.
🟢 I scored C2 on the Oxford English Test in 2024, so explanations in English are clear and accurate.
Learning a language takes time—I know! I’ve studied the basics of 8 languages while traveling.
I understand how frustrating it can be, and I’ll guide you with empathy and proven strategies.
Let’s work toward your personal, academic, or professional objectives—efficiently and at your pace.
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
Most students can find lots of resources online, and do exercises and write texts, etc. but what is often missing is having interactions in French. Therefore, in order to assist learners and allow them to practice and build their confidence, I also host weekly group Zoom sessions, at a rate of 4 to 5 per week. 🌍
🚫 I don’t teach French to teenagers or kids (17 and under).
📌 Starting May 1, 2025, my fees will change for the following:
🟢 30-min: $17 USD
🟢 45-min: $20 USD
🟢 60-min: $23 USD
📌The ITALKI cancellation policy :
If needed, please reschedule the lesson at least 24 hours in advance.
If not, the lesson will be considered completed and paid. Thank you.

François is an exceptional French tutor. He crafted a personalized learning plan based on my specific goals, significantly improving my learning and retention. His virtual classroom is incredibly welcoming and free of any judgment. This is vital when learning a language, especially online, where it can be easy to feel self-conscious. François understands this and creates an environment where you feel encouraged to try, even if you stumble. His lessons go beyond grammar and vocabulary, offering insights into French and world cultures. He doesn't just give me the definition of a word; he delves into its nuances, its significance in different contexts, and its cultural connotations. He helps me understand not just what a word means, but why it's used and how it connects to the broader tapestry of the French language. If you're looking for a supportive, enriching, and truly effective French tutor, François is the perfect choice to guide your language learning journey.

I really enjoyed my first lesson! He was very patient and didn’t mind repeating himself. Even after divulging my memory issues he was stead fast in making sure it was known that he is willing to modify my lessons and work with me.
10/10 recommend!

En anglais: Francois is an exceptional, superlative instructor who enjoys generously sharing his love and knowledge of the French language. He is incredibly patient, insightful, motivating, flexible, has a wonderful sense of humor, and intuitively understands and anticipates what the student needs to progress and improve. One of his many excellent methodologies is to empower the student to 'find another word' when a 'bloguer' (block) occurs so that learning, (although challenging) takes place in a comfortable and engaging manner. His group lessons are an extraordinary mix of fun, delightful cognitive exercises, interesting memorization techniques, and tons of sharing and learning French.
