My name is Laurent and I am an enthusiastic native French teacher with a vast teaching experience in French as a foreign Language. French is not only my mother tongue, it is my passion and teaching is my vocation.

In my teaching I encourage my students to practice French by reading (magazines, short stories, novels, etc.), watching videos and movies in French, listening to songs, watching television programs etc.

My teaching will also require the students to express themselves by role playing activities and improvisation sessions. I also believe in getting my students to use to use all of the possibilities available on the internet : texts, videos, pictures, etc. This way the same topic is approached using different media which reinforces vocabulary which reinforces vocabulary and grammar acquisition.

The most important thing for students is to practice every day by reading, also by watching and listening to all kinds of things which are of interest to the particular student. This way students can relate the language back to his\her life, tastes and personality.


I live in Amiens, a city near Paris (1 hour by train). I am married, with one 3 years old daughter, and one son who was born this year at the end of January.

I make appointments weekdays between 7am and 10pm (French time), and I also teach a little on the weekends.
