These lessons will ensure the student to reach the highest levels of French, to succeed in their exams and certifications, as well as giving proficiency level to any professional needing it. Learning French is not merely about acquiring grammar and vocabulary—it is about stepping into a world of thought, history, and expression. As speaking a certain language is intertwined with knowing its literature, philosophy, and history, so will you learn not only to speak French but also to understand its past and present variations. I am a native French speaker from Normandy, born into a family where education was not simply a requirement but a lifelong devotion. From an early age, we were guided with care and discipline towards the art of speaking and writing with precision and elegance. We were encouraged—indeed, expected—to continually refine our lexicon, to master the nuances of expression, and to cultivate a vast intellectual curiosity. Our studies encompassed French, Spanish, Italian, and English literature and cultures; Latin literature and civilisation; ancient mythology; history; philosophy; and the fine arts. In my lessons, you will not only learn French but live it—through the richness of its language, the depth of its literary heritage, and the precision of its structures. You will learn to pronounce French in its most neutral and historically authentic form, free from modern distortions. No coarse or careless words will be used; instead, you will acquire the ability to express yourself with refinement, choosing the most appropriate and elegant vocabulary for every situation. We will dive deep into the structure and particularities of the language, with a method that follows the natural and most excellent way of acquiring speech: Listening – to attune your ear to the rhythm and cadence of French. Speaking – to cultivate fluency and confidence. Reading – to absorb the literature, culture, and deeper meanings behind words. Writing – to master precision, syntax, and style. Speaking better – to refine expression, eloquence, and command of the language. This is how a child learns: by listening first, then speaking, then reading, then writing—before returning to perfect speech with greater depth. This is the path I will guide you through, with rigour, but most of all, with great and benevolent manners. Who Are My Classes For? Those who wish to speak French fluently and with the elegance of a well-educated speaker. Aspiring diplomats, professionals, and intellectuals seeking mastery of both language and culture. Students and scholars who appreciate the humanities and desire a profound understanding of French. This is not merely a language course—it is an initiation into the heritage, philosophy, and refinement of French civilisation.

All classes are given online. You will be provided with full methodology and an individual program will be generated for you to make sure you reach your goals. Philosophy is the foundation of all knowledge, the pursuit of truth through reason, and the key to understanding the world, human nature, and society. To study philosophy is to develop the ability to think critically, argue rigorously, and grasp the underlying principles that shape reality. Raised in a family devoted to intellectual discipline and excellence, I was immersed from an early age in classical philosophy, logic, ethics, metaphysics, and political thought. My approach is both historical and analytical, ensuring that students not only learn philosophical concepts but also develop the ability to question, debate, and apply philosophical reasoning to modern issues. A Rigorous Methodology for Mastering Philosophy: Understanding philosophy requires more than reading — it demands a structured approach to reasoning and analysis. I provide my students with a rigorous methodology that enables them to: -Analyze texts with precision, identifying key arguments and logical structures. -Construct well-formed philosophical arguments, mastering the art of reasoning and rhetoric. -Engage in dialectical thinking, refining their thoughts through structured discussion. -Write and express ideas with clarity and coherence, essential for academic and intellectual pursuits.
