Bonjour! ¡Buenos días!

SPECIAL FALL ANNOUNCEMENT !
As I have stepped into my French Department Head position at my International School.
My services won't be any different, naturally, but my availability will be limited this year!

SO, if you are an individual:
- wanting to learn a language
- preparing for a long awaited trip
- or perhaps looking to get ahead in your French/Spanish class...
... Reach out and I will try to squeeze you into my schedule.

Yes, you can ditch those demanding language apps!
My name is Matthew F., and I am a French and Spanish instructor at NNU. I am a teacher at a local high school as well, where I teach French at an International Baccalaureate School.

I have 20 years of teaching experience - with students aged 4 - 74 - and 16 years living abroad. I'm flexible, honest, patient, but also challenging. I love teaching, tutoring, learning, but most of all witnessing the "light bulb" moment. I also love traveling back home to France, where I was born and raised.

The school year is gearing up, so prepare now. DOn't wait until it's too late!

Consider signing up for a few sessions. I can help you prepare for a trip (translations, travel tips, useful phrases, etc...) or we can tackle the language head on. Tell me your goals, your experience and your availability and we can get started right away!

A très bientôt. ¡Hasta pronto!

Great tutor!

I highly recommend Matt. He has done wonders with our son! Our son was failing Spanish when we found Matt. Now, he has passed his first semester of Spanish and even received a "B" on his Spanish final! Matt is GREAT and he cares! Matt has a very effective teaching style which makes our son feel comfortable to learn and make mistakes, which I feel is VERY important! Our son always leaves his tutoring sessions with confidence and his head held high. After every session, Matt takes the time to write a thorough and honest review of how the session went and what materials were covered. And, Matt is very accommodating when it comes to meeting times and locations. There is no doubt... We picked the right tutor for our son! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We're super happy with Sr. Matthew!

Matthew (we call him Sr. Matthew) has been working with my 4.5 year old daughter for almost two years now. We were interested in her having some exposure to Spanish before she enters a Spanish immersion elementary. Sr. Matthew is knowledgeable and makes learning fun. He follows her lead and is very patient, which is a must for this age group. He has been very flexible regarding appointment times which we really appreciate. My daughter really looks forward to their visits.
