About Simon

Inspiring Confidence and Establishing Professionalism

I am an experienced French instructor with over 20 years of teaching across international and multicultural settings. I have taught diplomats at the Foreign Service Institute, led Peace Corps volunteers as a cross-cultural trainer, and supported learners from diverse backgrounds in improving their communication skills.

My lessons are designed to be practical, engaging, and student-centered, focusing on real-world conversation, professional communication, and cultural understanding. I am fluent in both English and French, patient, and committed to helping every learner achieve their goals.

In a nutshell, I train learners to be global citizens. With my guidance, students gain confidence speaking French, while developing the skills to communicate effectively in professional, academic, and everyday situations.

About the lesson

My Approach as a French Tutor

I take a practical, student-centered approach that focuses on real-world communication, cultural understanding, and confidence-building. My lessons are interactive and tailored to each student’s goals, whether they want to improve conversation skills, professional communication, or prepare for travel or diplomatic work.

Teaching Method and Techniques:

Emphasize active speaking and listening from the first lesson

Use role-play, discussions, and real-life scenarios to make French practical

Integrate grammar and vocabulary naturally, only as needed for communication

Encourage self-expression, confidence, and cultural awareness.

What Sets Me Apart:

Over 20 years of teaching experience, including teaching diplomats at the Department of State Foreign Service Institute

Experience as a Peace Corps volunteer supervisor and cross-cultural trainer, which gives me insight into diverse learning styles

Skilled in conflict resolution, patience, and emotional intelligence, helping learners feel comfortable and motivated

Fluent in English and French, allowing me to clarify nuances

Who the Lessons Are For:

Beginners, intermediates, and advanced learners of all ages

Professionals, diplomats, and students seeking practical conversation skills

Anyone motivated to learn French for work, travel, or personal development
