Speak French like the French! (Private tutor)

Description

Bonjour à tous !

My name is Matthieu, I am a qualified native French teacher with over 24 years' experience of successful private tutoring in London. I initially trained to teach English in French schools but in the late 90's decided to cross the Channel to share the “language of Molière” with the beautiful people of London. I am passionate about it and I am curious about languages in general.

Are you tired of not being taught properly?

Have you been learning for a while but are still struggling to understand native French speakers?

Teaching is my métier, so you can expect professionalism, quality, dedication, fun and… RESULTS!

I specialise in teaching ADULTS (all levels).

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

See below for testimonials:


Matthieu is an excellent tutor, but most importantly an extremely engaging and likeable person which makes learning so much easier. The fact that he was able to take me from 0% French speaker to the level of fluency I have now is nothing short of remarkable. I write this recommendation from my flat just outside Paris where I now live and work. I still continue my lessons through skype because I learn so much and they are so enjoyable. Merci beaucoup!

“I’m more than happy to highly recommend Matthieu! He is among the top echelon of language teachers in that he has a truly profound knowledge of the grammar, vocabulary and idiom links between English and French.
Students will make quantum leaps from his clear guidelines and subtle insights on how to speak like a French native.”

Chris Adams, Risk Analyst, London


“Matthieu is an outstanding tutor. He teaches French as it is really spoken (giving me invaluable tips and insight into pronunciation, vocabulary and idioms, that no other teacher or textbook explained). It has made a huge difference from the very beginning both with regards to my fluency in communication as well as comprehension. He is very flexible and tailors the lessons according to my needs. He also explains the grammar very clearly with great examples. Cinq étoiles !”

Andras, Credit Research Analyst, London


“Matthieu’s knowledge of the French language is simply amazing.  He has an excellent way of explaining all aspects from grammar to vocabulary and even the origin of words, so that things that I have tried to understand several times in the past finally make sense.  He is a brilliant teacher for all levels (which is especially helpful for people with a patchy education like me) and his lessons are always fun.”

Jochen, Lawyer, Bolzano


“Lessons I had in the past with other teachers tended to be unstructured and lacked depth and detail. However, Matthieu has been the perfect teacher; from understanding my goals in learning French and providing focus to the lessons, to encouraging me to engage in conversation (which I had initially found very daunting!), Matthieu's lessons have been invaluable.”

Rekha, Solicitor, Singapore


“I came back to French wanting lessons that improved my confidence and ability to speak everyday French, was flexible to my other commitments and focussed on me!
Matthieu's approach does all of this, teaching me common colloquial phrases and training my ear to hear spoken abbreviations. The mixture of time spent in conversation and time focussed on grammar or vocabulary gives variety to the lessons and allows them the flexibility to focus on any issues brought up on any particular day. Matthieu clearly thinks about lessons for each individual he teaches and immediately puts you at ease within your own level, while quickly improving it.”

Rosalind, Theatre Producer, London


“As soon as I met Matthieu, he really understood what I was trying to achieve with my French learning.  He took the effort to understand my personality and character, which is crucial to tailoring the lessons to what suits my learning methods and what will address my weaknesses. Each week I look forward to my lesson and I am so pleased I started learning French again with such a likeable, positive, encouraging and knowledgeable professeur!”

Claire, Facilities Manager, London


“Matthieu is by far the most effective tutor I've had over the many years I've tried to learn French.
His lessons are well structured and very enjoyable - even at the end of a tiring day!
He is very patient and supportive and I have undoubtedly made substantial progress since meeting him a few months ago.”

Rosemary, Human Resources Director, London
