About Sylvain

Hello ;) French native from Paris, passionate (about French and English literature, music, cinema, entrepreneurship, ...), I am currently learning at HARVARD University to lead the teaching/learning industry, with unconventional teaching methods. I have studied a lot in my life and I strongly believe that the best way to learn is to have fun, I strongly believe that the best way to learn is to want to know. My teaching methods are based on my practical experiences and I know how to make people flow. As a long-time learner, I will adapt the sessions and advise you to reach your goals. I offer French courses for both beginners and advanced learners.

About the lesson

COURSE STRUCTURE: I build my lessons through a communicative approach, maximising the use of the target language. My lessons are generally task-based and focused on practical functions. During each lesson, we will always work on four different skills, such as speaking, listening, reading, and writing, using various teaching materials reflecting real-life situations. MY COURSES AIM TO - Improve your listening and speaking skills - Explain grammar rules - Introduce new vocabulary using specific learning methods - Improve your writing, speaking, and listening skills. THE LANGUAGE: I have learnt English and Spanish and am currently learning Italian and Russian. So, I fully understand what it feels like to learn a new language and the difficulties that can be encountered, especially when that language does not use the same alphabet as your native language. EXPERIENCE: I have taught French to people from Europe, the Commonwealth, Russia, Colombia, Mexico, Iran, Sri Lanka, Maldives, South Africa, the USA, Australia, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, China, and among them were students, teachers, analysts, brokers, nurses, doctors, lawyers, singers, entrepreneurs, writers, investors, bankers, actors, ambassadors, personal trainers, interior designers, architects, TV and film producers. .. My students have attended the following schools: - Prep Schools: Thomas’s Battersea, Wetherby Prep, ... - Secondary Schools: St Paul's Girls' School, St Paul's School, Westminster School, Wetherby, Sevenoaks School, Harrow, Eton College, The American School in London, King's College School, Trinity School, Dulwich College, Waldegrave School... - Universities and business schools: Oxford, Cambridge, University of St Andrews, London Business School, King's College, Imperial College London, University College London, Harvard, Columbia, London School of Economics...

Perfect! I am incredibly happy with my lessons with Sylvain as I have seen a significant increase in my preformance and feel far more confident in my French grammar abilities. He is also able to target the areas I need to improve on which has been the most helpful.

Sylvain's response
Charlotte has been an ideal student and a fantastic listener. It's clear to me that she is very open to learning and hearing new methods she can use to improve her studies. Her desire to learn and grow means a lot to me as a teacher, and I am happy to have her in my class. Well done Charlotte

Perfect! Made all the difference
I can't recommend Sylvain enough. His in-person tutoring made all the difference to my son's exam result.

He worked hard to make sure my son was on top of what was expected and fully prepared in a way which he would not have done for himself.

Sylvain is great.
Subject : French
Outcome : A much higher exam score than my son would otherwise have achieved - three grades higher.

Perfect! Organized, Professional and Reliable
Sylvain is a wonderful tutor, helping me tap back into my limited French vocabulary and grammar that I had not used in several years and quickly start building more knowledge. He is very professional, enjoys catering the sessions to your own needs and interests, and naturally finds a way for his students to engage in casual French conversation. He is also always willing and excited to share additional resources so that his students can continue to progress beyond the direct contact hours, something that I found invaluable in order to get the most out of my French studies.

I cannot recommend Sylvain highly enough for anyone looking to improve their French and do so with a very reliable, professional and organized native French speaker.
Subject : French
Outcome : Helped me improve my confidence in spoken French and better understand grammar conventions.
