Hi! 👋 I’m a Canadian-Italian citizen with a strong background in business and finance. I've lived in Italy, Mexico, Hungary, Monaco, Spain (where I had an apartment for 10 years) and Antigua recently. 🌎
I’ve worked as a commodities trader for the past 24 years and since 2017, I’ve also been teaching French and Québécois to learners of all levels, in person and online. ✅
Regardless of your current proficiency, I can help you improve your French skills. I provide explanations in French or English to suit your needs. My English proficiency was certified at a C2 level after taking the Oxford Online Placement Test. 😊
I do NOT teach French to teenagers or kids (17 years old and younger).
Moi en tant que professeur
I am patient and supportive, ready to help with all aspects of French—whether you aim to explore your heritage, write effectively, or confidently converse while traveling. ✈️
Each lesson is tailored to your unique situation, level, goals, and timeline, ensuring a personalized approach to your learning. ✅
My teaching method prioritizes accelerating your progress while respecting your individual pace. 🙏
I’ve guided students of all levels & needs, adapting to their preferred focus & challenges.
I also host four weekly Zoom group sessions where you can practice, converse with other learners (who live in different countries), build confidence, enjoy learning, and improve together. 😊
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
My lessons are designed to help you achieve your personal, academic, or professional goals. Each lesson is customized to meet your specific needs and objectives. We can use a collection of dialogues that I have written, or any other content. We can combine lessons with conversations, describing images, writing exercises, etc.
I have worked with a diverse range of students, including doctors, engineers, architects, students, retirees, researchers, linguists, job seekers, government employees, companies, and NGOs. ⭐
Please note Italki’s Cancellation Policy: Lessons canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours’ notice cannot be refunded or rescheduled and will be marked as completed. ✅

François is a wonderful teacher. He is knowledgeable, patient, and nonjudgmental. I get the sense he genuinely want’s to help people learn. I am happy that I found a great teacher. If you want to learn French I suggest booking a lesson with François!

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.
