About David


Bio

I was born in Switzerland to an American father and a Swiss-French mother. I carry all three of these nationalities and am 100% fluent in both languages. I grew up and lived in French speaking Switzerland for 25 years, where I also tutored English to French speaking students.

I studied French (literature and linguistics) and Philosophy at the University of Lausanne (in Switzerland) and taught French to native and non-native middle and high schoolers in prestigious schools. I've lived in NY...

I was born in Switzerland to an American father and a Swiss-French mother. I carry all three of these nationalities and am 100% fluent in both languages. I grew up and lived in French speaking Switzerland for 25 years, where I also tutored English to French speaking students.

I studied French (literature and linguistics) and Philosophy at the University of Lausanne (in Switzerland) and taught French to native and non-native middle and high schoolers in prestigious schools. I've lived in NY for more than 10 years, and have been tutoring to students of ages 10 to 65, individually or in small groups, as a freelance and with after-school programs.

I can help anyone at any level, from the study of basic conjugation, to rigorous grammatical analysis or translation (you name it!) The lessons are tailor-made to your needs. Again, it's important to me that my students make sense of what they learn and I usually find creative ways to achieve this.

I'm available every day of the week online, from 9am to 7pm EST.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Knowledgeable and awesome!

I have had no prior instruction in French before taking my first lesson with David, and in one hour I feel as though we covered a good amount of information. David is patient and very professional. I'm glad I found him!
