About ALEXANDER
My story with French began long before it became a profession—it became an adventure. What started as a fascination with language led me into the history, culture and politics of France, North Africa and the wider francophone world. It took me to Paris, the south of France, and eventually across West Africa, where I discovered the richness and diversity of French as it is spoken, written and lived in different cultures.
Alongside my passion for languages, I built a career in sustainability, food systems and international development, working across Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for culture, history, food, business and the many ways people communicate and connect.
I specialise in helping students & professionals build confidence and fluency through real-world communication. Whether you are preparing for university, advancing your career, travelling, relocating abroad or simply learning for pleasure, my lessons are tailored to your interests and goals. Expect engaging conversations, cultural exploration and practical French that you can use immediately in everyday life.
Above all, I love working with people. My lessons are energetic, supportive and tailored to each learner, combining language with culture, curiosity and real-world conversation.

I believe that language is so much than just grammar and vocabular, it's about connecting with people, cultures and new ways of seeing the world.
My lessons are friendly, engaging and tailored to your individual goals. Whether you're preparing to study abroad, improve your professional French, travel with confidence, relocate to a French-speaking country or simply enjoy learning for pleasure, we'll build a learning approach that works for you.
I like to combine structured language learning with conversation, cultural exploration and real-world topics. Depending on your interests, we might discuss travel, food, history, current affairs, sport, sustainability, business or life in different parts of the French-speaking world. Having lived, worked and travelled extensively across France and francophone West Africa, I enjoy bringing these experiences into lessons to make learning more relevant, memorable and enjoyable.
For professionals and university students, I can also help develop Business French, presentation skills, interview preparation, networking confidence and professional communication.
Above all, my goal is to help you become a confident and independent French speaker. Lessons are supportive, interactive and practical, with plenty of opportunities to speak, make mistakes, ask questions and steadily build fluency through real communication.

I had taken few french classes long time ago and wanted to get back into it again. Alex has been a great teacher, he is very friendly, professional and made all the sessions fun and engaging. I recommend Alex if you want to learn French while enjoying the process.
Merci beaucoup AlexI came to Alex looking to rapidly improve my French, and I'm so glad I did. He created a personalised programme that pushed me to speak more, write more and tackle the grammar areas I had been avoiding, all in a way that felt enjoyable rather than intimidating.
What I loved most was how flexible and engaging the lessons were. Alex adapted sessions to my interests (including plenty of football!), making every lesson feel relevant and fun. In a relatively short space of time, I became far more confident speaking and writing in French and much more willing to put myself out there.
I would highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, encouraging and genuinely engaging French tutor.Alex is an exceptional tutor, and what sets him apart is the depth of his background. Alex of course has done all the formal studies in French to provide a rock-solid foundation in grammar, syntax etc. but - more importantly - has global, real-world experience. Having lived in both France and Senegal, Alex has a rich and nuanced understanding of the Francophone world. This allows him to teach authentic idioms, regional nuances, and cultural etiquette that you can't really find in software or traditional classrooms.
I was keen to improve my French in a business context and Alex was a great help in this. As Alex uses French daily for his work, he understands the specific vocabulary, formal tone, and subtleties needed for business communication, presentations, and international networking.
Alex is patient, highly adaptable, and structured lessons to match my individual goals—whether it was preparing for a business pitch or aiming for conversational fluency. My confidence and command of the language have improved drastically.
If you are looking for a tutor who is fun, has an expert grasp of the basics, is well travelled, and very sharp, I cannot recommend him highly enough.See more recommendations
