French | Premium | CEFR | Daily - Business - Conversation | TCF - DELF - DALF | I design 1-to-1 French lessons based on your use cases. I'm Alexis, a graduate of Sciences Po and the Sorbonne. I'm also a certified TCF examiner. When we start, I assess your level and needs. I check your goals and the contexts in which you might use French. Then, I plan lessons around who you are: your exams or your work, your travels or your relocation, your personal life or your professional projects, etc. All your communications with other people will guide what we work on. I use CEFR descriptors to pick up activities and and build up materials for your profile. Your scenario starts with discovery then learning before moving into free solo practice. Sessions may include vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, listening, reading, writing, conversation or simulation. You develop reception, production, interaction and mediation. We work on linguistic capacity as well as pragmatic and sociolinguistic skills. For business French, we use emails and documents from your field. We also work on meetings. For exam preparation, we focus on the test format and methods that address your current gaps. For general French, I use your routine, priorities, hobbies and current projects. Between sessions, you receive homework, and I also share reports and corrections. The goal is to help you use French more independently and feel confident, including when you need time to find a word. If this approach fits your needs, send me a message and tell me about you!

I just finished the first step of my language program with Alexis, and it has been an amazing experience! I started our classes at an A1/A2 level and, thanks to his teaching, I'm now moving forward with confidence to B1. What really stands out about Alexis is his personal approach. Instead of a rigid textbook or a boring lesson, he always takes the time to understand his students' lives, interests, and goals. He builds every lesson around my own context, which makes me feel more engaged and helps my brain absorb the information more easily. For me, for instance, he uses lots of gaming and animation references. I highly recommend Alexis! If you're looking for a teacher who will suit your specific needs, he is the one. Merci, Alexis!

I have been working with Alexis for over a year and a half and it has been an absolute pleasure. I've tried so many teachers over the years but what makes Alexis stand out is not only his skill in tailoring lessons precisely to your needs, an overall great human to relate with. With him, I've learned more than just the French language but also a lot about integrating in a new country, art, politics, etc. He is really motivating and inspiring to constantly do better each time.

Not only are these lessons filled with enjoyment and inspiration, but Alexis is also a miracle worker! I met him as my first tutor only 3 weeks ago, and even in this very short time, he has already given me the tools and strategies I need to thoroughly and successfully prepare for my upcoming DELF B1 exam. I had originally signed up for the exam last month as a personal challenge, but then I quickly panicked when I realized I had no idea about how to actually prepare. Alexis to the rescue! In just these few lessons, he has broken everything down for me, given me real-life strategies for each part of the exam, and guided me through many practice simulations so that I will know exactly what to expect on the exam day. Instead of feeling overwhelmed as I did before, I now feel organized, disciplined, and calm about how to prepare each task, step by step. I still have a month left in my studying, but my readiness and confidence is growing by the day, all thanks to Alexis.

Alexis is not only the best French professor I've had, but the best foreign language teacher ever. The resources that he uses to teach and how much of his own time that he puts in to ensure that you are learning in a fun and relevant way is magnificent. He is flexible, dynamic, and keeps things relevant and interesting in every lesson. The structure of the lessons is also excellent, allowing for an opportunity to practice all elements of language learning (reading, writing, listening, and speaking). You will not find a better teacher.

Thank you so much Alexis for such a wonderful lesson. Today we covered the logic behind French speaking - the reason why French speakers often sound so fast, when it's actually more about the ways that certain sounds or chunks are compressed, omitted, or combined. It was a deeply interesting lesson and extremely helpful for my french listening outside of class. It's especially helpful because it's not really something that is typically provided by other educational materials or other teachers, which is, in a nutshell, why Alexis is such an excellent teacher. Looking forward to the next session!
