Native speaker with 15 years of professional teaching experience.

Jonathan B.

I'm a native French speaker with 15 years of teaching experience, including a long run at the University of Georgia. So, I know how to make learning French engaging and successful, whether you're a complete beginner or looking to brush up your skills. I believe in active learning. Forget boring textbooks! We'll dive into interactive games, role-playing, and creative projects. I also bring real French culture into the classroom, using recent popular culture, because I believe you should be learning the language as it's actually spoken. During my time at UGA, students consistently gave me high marks. They loved my clear lessons, helpful feedback, and the fact that I was always there when they needed help. Many even said my classes were their favorite French courses ever. I know how to create a supportive and stress-free environment where you can truly thrive.

I believe learning French should be fun and engaging! My teaching method uses lots of talking, games, and creative activities like making videos or music. We might play bingo, battleship, watch French YouTube, read cool graphic novels, and even act out scenes. I'm a native French speaker, so I bring real, up-to-date French culture into our lessons, like popular shows and music. A typical lesson starts with fun games to get you speaking, then we work on reading and listening with real French materials, and finish with more creative stuff like role-playing or singing. I make sure it's relaxed and stress-free, but we'll still work towards your goals. What makes me different is my unique, playful approach. I can teach anyone, from kids in elementary school to adults, and I adapt my lessons to fit your level. My goal is to make you fall in love with French!
