Introduction
Just say oui! MY TEACHING METHOD I provide a safe, student-centered, relaxed, enjoyable space for my students. You will speak and hear authentic French for the entirety of each lesson, which allows for rapid progression and growth. I will use authentic French via film, songs, TV shows, podcasts, news reports, interviews, poetry, GAMES, and more! Since having my own company, I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds and have: - prepared many elementary, middle, high school, and college students for beginner, intermediate, and advanced courses - prepared students traveling to France for the first time - prepared a US Navy Seal for an international assignment - assisted a prospective French teacher in passing her NJ Certification Test - worked with a social worker who has since transferred to the field in Cameroon - taught families preparing for extended stays in French-speaking countries - helped a beginner gain fluency so that he could move abroad to pursue his Master's degree at the IMD Business School in Lausanne, Switzerland - helped a college student complete the entire French 1 curriculum in one summer so that he could comfortably navigate living and studying at Laval University in Quebec CURRENT PROMOTIONS ►One free 60-minute trial lesson to all prospective students. ►FREE 24/7 access to Textbooks, Workbooks, Audio, DVD, and Assessment Programs from any device (For students booking weekly lessons) ►FREE access to my G***** Classroom, which contains a plethora of resources that I've compiled over my 18-year career as a French teacher - to help you master all grammatical structures, improve your listening comprehension, vocabulary and writing skills (For students booking weekly lessons) ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE I have lived, worked, and traveled extensively in Southern France, and I have been a private French tutor since 2005. Previously, I worked for twenty years as a K-12 certified French teacher. I have taught all levels of high school French, including levels 1-AP. PERSONAL INTERESTS My personal interests include playing tennis since I was a small boy. I have played piano professionally in a jazz quartet for many years. I also enjoy lifting weights, hiking, walking, and jogging. I am an amateur chef, and I enjoy buying and selling antiques. I'm currently learning Italian - a presto ! FAVORITE QUOTE Bonheur : as-tu réfléchi combien cet horrible mot a fait couler de larmes ? Sans ce mot-là, on dormirait plus tranquille et on vivrait à l'aise. -Gustave Flaubert I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my experience and qualifications with you.  With 20 years of teaching experience, we can work together to achieve your goals. I look forward to working with you. Guy

I started working with Guy almost exactly 7 weeks before our trip. I had no illusion that I would get to the point where I could participate in a true conversation, BUT Guy felt like he could prepare me to at least be able to be polite and communicate to some extent as well as being able to recognize things being said. He has done just that and more. He’s been great to work with and is always adaptable, adjusting to whatever I felt like I needed to work on more. In one case that was numbers, in others it’s been situational conversation specific to things we plan to do in France. I won’t be able to carry on a full conversation (one needs to work a lot more than a 7 week crash course to get there) but we will head to France with a comfort level that I owe entirely to Guy. You will feel instantly comfortable with him the first time you meet and that makes working with him super easy. If you are looking to learn some French, you can’t got wrong with Guy.
