About
I am French, a private tutor by trade, and I live and teach in Russia. Years of one-to-one teaching have taught me one thing: a language is learned by speaking it, not by revising it.
I took Russian to a C1 level entirely on my own. So I know exactly where it hurts: the sounds you cannot hear, the grammar that will not stick, the fear of opening your mouth. That is the method I pass on.
Languages are not all I teach: maths and sciences have their own site — Cours Sigma, for pupils in the French school system.
A public review on Trustpilot carries the most weight: it is independent, and nobody can edit it.
Exams
An official exam does not only test your French: it tests your ability to work inside a strict format. So we take the four parts one by one — listening, reading, writing, speaking — on real past papers, under exam timing.
We start from the exam date and work backwards: how many lessons, at what pace, and what to fix first.
For whom: anyone who needs a certified level of French — for a visa, a university, a citizenship file or a job.
First conversation
We check your level and set a realistic target — before talking about lessons.
Method
What actually makes people progress — and what keeps them stuck for years.
Nobody learns to swim from the edge of the pool. You will make mistakes — that is the point: a mistake shows exactly what to fix.
20 minutes a day beats three hours on a Sunday. A language settles over time, never in a rush.
An hour of French in your ears every day reshapes your ear, your accent and your grammar — at almost no effort.
