As a French native speaker from Besançon, I have been teaching French for 19 years in the UK and before that, I taught English in France. I now reside in France offering lessons for all levels and ages online.
What will we do in the lessons?
- Speak and develop confidence with conversation
- Learn skills to improve listening and reading comprehension
- Increase vocabulary
- Improve accuracy with grammar
- Focus on examination techniques
- Use of past papers and mark schemes
- Writing practice with detailed feedback
- Study of books and films at A2
- A patient and encouraging manner
- A monitoring of progress with a diagnostic of strengths and areas for improvement
- Activities to address any diagnosed weaker areas
- Clear explanations and practice activities in different contexts to hone the skills
- A focus on the student’s personal interests
Students will receive texts, grammar exercises and explanations, listening activities, vocabulary activities and many more to either reinforce what was learnt in the lesson or to prepare for the next one.

I approached Fabian to help me improve my French so I could talk with my boyfriend’s family in their native language. Fabian’s lessons were structured to help me progress at my own pace, whilst giving me confidence. I have since moved to Paris and was able to integrate well into French life due to having a good basis of the language from my lessons with Fabian.

I have taken 6 months of French lessons with Fabian and I couldn’t be happier with my choice of tutor. We started off with a lesson to assess my level, and from then onward he tailors the lessons to your goals as well as what he believes you can improve upon. Each lesson was different: we discussed interesting topics, learned new vocabulary and grammar, and he created interactive and useful exercises to retain the content.
My feedback for Fabian is very positive, and a main reason for that is that he takes into account whatever you are interested in and want to learn or expand your knowledge about. After 4 years of not speaking any French, he helped me quickly get back on track and really develop my skills and confidence with his positive and friendly attitude. I would definitely take lessons with him again. Thank you, Fabian!

Fabian is a skilled tutor who understands not only how to teach the French language well, but also how to do so in a way that is catered to the individual. He uses our time effectively and always brings useful materials. I recommend him highly.

Fabian has been amazing with me!
He has a very light and easy going way to teach you, always mindful of what he can add when you have a doubt.
He builds a very personal bespoken class for you, which helps you exactly where you need.

Great lesson. Fabian is very organised but also encouraging and supportive. He explains things very clearly. I have had two lessons and I am optimistic that I will make significant progress. I am studying for an A level.
