French tutors have a solid foundation in French education and a thorough knowledge of the French language. They are well-equipped to teach the subject and guide students through the problems of the language course, such as grammar, pronunciation, and syntax. A French tutor can teach conversational practice, and improve the student's spoken and listening French comprehension, which is important for effective communication.
A qualified French tutor possesses native or near-native fluency in language, which enables them to teach pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and idiomatic expressions accurately. French tutors provide valuable cultural insights, enhancing the student's understanding of French culture, customs, and traditions, which is essential for mastering the language. Beyond exam preparation, a French tutor can develop a passion for the language. However, it could be hard to find a private French tutor who will make use of the time and put a whole effort into assisting their students.
Our private French language tutors teach to read, write, comprehend, and speak French like an expert. We offer a wide range of services to suit your needs, whether for home tuition or assistance with your French grammar, syntax, and language. Our private tutors are qualified professionals who come up with support in all French language and literature areas.
PhD in French Linguistics
For 26 years, I've been involved with French linguistics and sharing that passion with my students. My early years in teaching were focused on understanding the structure and sound of the language. However, as time went on, I expanded my horizons to cover more of the cultural and historical significance of the French language. Having worked with university students, I understand the pressures they face. My goal has always been to make learning more approachable, allowing them to grasp complex concepts with ease.
To me, French is more than just a language; it's a bridge to a vast world of art, history, and human connection. In my lessons, I prioritize communication and real-world application. We delve into French literature, discuss news articles, and occasionally explore French culinary arts. I believe in giving students the tools to converse, debate, and express themselves confidently in French, ensuring they're ready for both academic and real-world scenarios.
Taking lessons with Matthew was the best decision I've ever made. Seriously, I never thought I'd get to a point where I could confidently chat away in French at parties or during trips. I owe a lot of that growth to him!
Matt's a cool teacher and all. I love the books and movies he suggests. But honestly, sometimes I get lost when he skips over some grammar bits. Would be nice if he could balance it out a bit more.
While his classes offer a broad perspective, I sometimes wish for more grammar-focused sessions.

My objective is not just to make students fluent in French, but to also help them understand and appreciate the vibrant literature of the French-speaking world.

PhD in French Cultural Studies
Over two decades, I have explored the depth and breadth of French culture and its imprints on global civilization.

From the art cafes of Paris to the bustling markets of Marseille, I've traveled extensively to absorb authentic experiences. Sharing these experiences with my students has been my primary motivation. I've taught in both local colleges and renowned universities, encountering a myriad of students, each bringing their own perspective to our discussions.
My approach is not limited to traditional practices. I focus on various things. For me, teaching someone French means introducing students to a culture that has rich historical roots. I adopt a holistic approach to teaching, incorporating media, art, and history into our lessons. This ensures that students not only grasp the language but also develop a genuine appreciation for the culture and people behind it. Through open discussions and real-world examples, I make certain that students experience French culture as if they are walking down a boulevard in Paris.
