I’m Canadian-Italian with a strong background in business and finance. I’ve lived in Italy, Mexico, Hungary, Monaco, Spain, Antigua and Barbuda, to name a few... 🌎

François continues to make me feel comfortable during lessons while providing great explanations and content that is just challenging enough that I learn some new vocabulary and grammar while building on my foundation. François is open to suggestions on how you want your lesson to go and is ready to provide you with a lesson that is purely speaking in French on the fly to structured lessons with activities and grammar/vocabulary. He is always open to feedback and that makes him a great teacher. I will continue my lessons with him and it’s something I look forward to every week. 10/10 recommend him! Merci 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.
