About Benoît

Passionate about languages and history for as long as I can remember, I chose to make them central to my professional life. For over ten years, I have taught French to international learners of all levels, from a wide range of linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

This experience has taught me how to explain clearly ideas that may initially seem complex, adapt to different ways of learning, and find the example or comparison that finally makes things click. My background in science has also given me a strong appreciation of rigour, structured reasoning and cause-and-effect relationships.

Alongside my teaching, I have long devoted a large part of my reading and personal study to history, particularly French history and its connections with European and world history. What interests me is not merely a succession of dates, but the way in which events are linked, societies change, and the past helps us understand the present.

I therefore wanted to use my teaching experience to help secondary school students and adults who wish to go back over part of the school syllabus, fill gaps in their knowledge or simply develop a deeper understanding of history. I continue to learn and deepen my own knowledge every day, because I believe that a good teacher should never stop being a learner too.

You may know a few dates but still find it difficult to understand why events happened and how different periods are connected. Whether you are a secondary school student or simply curious about history, my aim is to help you build a clear chronological framework and understand the logic behind historical developments.

At the beginning, we discuss your aims: going over a particular topic, preparing for a test or examination, filling gaps in your knowledge, exploring a specific period or following a structured journey through French history.

A lesson will usually begin with a brief recap to place the subject in time and space. We then examine the main figures involved, the causes, the course of events and their consequences. I use maps, timelines, images and extracts from historical sources to make the explanations clearer and more concrete.

The lessons are also based on discussion. I ask questions, encourage you to explain ideas in your own words, and return to anything that remains unclear. We finish with a summary of the key ideas and the few dates that are genuinely worth remembering.

History is not about learning a long list of isolated facts by heart. The aim is to understand the links between events, continuities, turning points and the ways in which societies change. When you understand why something happened, it becomes far easier to remember.

My lessons focus mainly on French history, from its earliest origins to the contemporary period, while placing it within the wider history of Europe and the rest of the world. They are intended for secondary school students and adults who wish to fill gaps in their knowledge or develop their historical culture.

International learners are also welcome to discover French history while practising their French. If needed, some explanations can be given in English or Spanish.

The introductory 30-minute meeting is free. It gives us an opportunity to get to know one another, discuss your needs and plan a course suited to your level and interests.
