About Raphael

I was born in Bordeaux, France and grew up just outside of Versailles.

I moved to the UK in London in 2005 after graduating from University of Versailles in English literature and civilization (License d'Anglais LLCE).

I have been teaching French in London through several prestigious language schools and agencies since 2006 such as London's St Helen's school, Bond Street Languages, London Speaks French or The Language Machine, to name but a few.

My method goes beyond regular tutoring. Indeed, I act as your language coach so that together, we can establish a clear path to your success. I build bespoke classes targeting your specific needs, ambitions and dreams.

I'm easy to talk to! Everyone is different and understanding someone's personnal journey and goals takes more than a casual tutor. It takes a solid framework and a sustainable relationship.

I am a natural community maker. Engagement is paramount. I'll guide you throughout the weeks and months, sometimes years. I'll monitor your progress after each lesson. A relationship with a language coach is the greatest gift your can give yourself. You need someone who is 100% commited and invested in your success.

Discussed topics include art, music, literature, cinema, psychology, sociology, social media, science, technology, food, the environment, politics, sports and beyond.
Being able to express yourself in a foreign language freely is key to get fluent rapidly.

It doesn't matter which background you are from, as I am proud to be extremely open-minded through my bi-cultural background, growing up in Paris and relocating to London as a teacher and a musician, traveling and working in Europe & North America for the last 15 years, making hundreds of connections and friendships around the globe.

So whether you need French for business, relocating, socialising, we'll get your French up to speed.

Current and past clients include: The UK Red Cross, Interpol, The Walt Dysney Company, Pixar, Alstom Transports, Google, Sony Pictures to name but a few...

About the lesson

All levels welcome (A1 - C2).

Methodology (covering the four skills of language learning):

An hour lesson is usuall divided between:

1) Speaking: Day-to-day conversational French: at home, at work, socially, which includes vocabulary, idioms, role plays, games, current affairs.

2) Writting: (Grammar, conjugaison, vocabulary), including attached excercise sheets and homework. (My library has hundreds of ressources collected over the years.)

3) Reading/Listening: Vdeo and text analyses (aforementioned topics) - In each session, I'll attached a 3-5min YouTube clip, i.e, from 'Le Monde'. You'll get it 24h before the class to watch it before the class if you want to get familiar with it. Sometimes, I'll play you a podcast or we'll read and discuss cut outs screen shots from selected articles.

I’ve been studying with Raphael for 2 years now. We started with a week long intensive course, and have continued since then with weekly lessons. I went from speaking not a word of French to where I’m at now (able to have conversations on many topics, read high school level books, even watch movies albeit with French subtitles). Honestly, all the credit goes to Raphael. He is the best teacher. His classes are always different, fun, engaging, AND educational. It is the best way to learn. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I've been learning with Raphael online over the summer.

Coming into this at B1 level, I have quickly seen an improvement in both my French speaking and grammar.

Questions are explained clearly and topics discussed are interesting and informative.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Raphael to French students of all levels.
