About John
I am a native French speaker born in France, living in the UK for over 15 years. My professional background is in aerospace engineering, where precision, clear processes, and effective communication are paramount.
I bring this exact engineering mindset to language coaching. I don't just correct your mistakes; I diagnose why the error happened and give you structural formulae so you don't repeat it.
Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to break through a learning plateau, I provide personalised digital notes, reusable vocabulary frameworks, and a calm, structured environment.

Forget boring grammar tables and aimless conversation chats. I teach French using Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT)—a systematic, process-driven framework designed to get measurable results quickly.
Having lived and worked in the UK for 15 years as an engineer, I understand the exact linguistic friction, false friends, and structural differences that English speakers face when learning French.
WHAT EACH 50-MINUTE LESSON LOOKS LIKE:
1. Operational Goal (5 mins): We define a specific real-world task (e.g., negotiating a booking, leading a workplace discussion, or handling travel logistics).
2. The Blueprint (10 mins): I give you sentence formulae and essential vocabulary patterns.
3. Stress Testing (15 mins): Guided substitution drills to build muscle memory and fluency without hesitation.
4. Field Simulation (20 mins): Real-time roleplay simulation. I log errors silently on a shared screen, followed by an instant debrief and patch plan.
WHO THIS IS FOR:
- Adult beginners/intermediates who want a structured, logical way to become fluent.
- UK professionals, project managers, or engineers working with French counterparts or relocations.
- Travellers and expats preparing for life in France who want real-world confidence, not textbook phrases.

I have worked closely with John in engineering for several years. He possesses exceptional attention to detail, strong analytical skills, and an ability to break down complex technical concepts into clear, structured processes. As a native French speaker with deep experience in the UK industry, he is perfectly equipped to help professionals master French with clarity and precision. Highly recommended!
