About Chris
Bonjour ! My name is Chris, and I’m a fluent French speaker with a strong connection to the French language and culture.
I spent over two years living in France and Belgium, where I used French daily in real-life situations. During that time, I also studied French at the university level, which gave me a solid understanding of grammar, structure, and how the language works beyond conversation.
I’m currently living in the United States, where I teach and tutor French to students of all levels. Having learned French as a non-native speaker myself, I understand the challenges students face and know how to explain things clearly and practically.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy music and playing the piano, especially classical pieces, which has deepened my appreciation for French culture and artistic expression. I believe language learning is about more than vocabulary—it’s about communication, confidence, and cultural connection.
I enjoy working with both adults and students, and I aim to create a relaxed, encouraging learning environment where progress feels natural and motivating.
I look forward to helping you build confidence and fluency in French—à bientôt !

My lessons are structured, personalized, and flexible, designed to help you make real progress while staying comfortable and confident.
Each lesson is adapted to your level, goals, and learning style. Whether you’re a beginner, a student needing school support, or an adult focused on conversation, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you.
A typical lesson may include:
Conversation practice to build confidence and fluency
Clear grammar explanations, broken down simply
Pronunciation and listening work to improve understanding
Vocabulary in context, not isolated memorization
Cultural tips and real-life expressions from France and Belgium
Lessons are interactive and practical. I focus on helping you use French naturally, rather than just learning rules. Mistakes are part of the process, and I create a relaxed environment where you feel comfortable speaking from the start.
I regularly adjust lessons based on your progress and feedback, so your learning stays effective and engaging. Homework is optional and light, depending on your goals and availability.
My aim is for you to leave each lesson feeling more confident, motivated, and capable in French.

I studied French with Chris 30 years ago and it was some of the most fun I had learning anything. Et je parle toujours couramment français.
Easygoing and non-critical, Chris is a great study partner, teacher, and tutor (there's slight a difference to each). He knows French and he loves French.
Most of all, Chris is fun. He's playful and approachable. I highly recommend Chris to help you learn French.View more recommendations
