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.
