Frequently Asked Questions
I'm a complete beginner — is that okay?
Yes. About a third of my students start with no French at all. We go slowly, use English when we need to, and build from the basics. There's no level you need to reach before your first lesson.
I need French for work. Can you really help with that?
Yes — this is one of my specialties. I have a Master's in Logistics Engineering and spent three years working at AIRBUS, ORANO, and SUEZ before becoming a full-time French teacher. I can teach professional French (emails, meetings, presentations) and I have real working knowledge of how French is used in industry — especially in logistics, operations, and engineering contexts.
What does a lesson look like?
A lesson is 30, 45, or 60 minutes in your browser. We use video, audio, and a shared whiteboard. We speak French as much as your level allows, work on whatever we'd agreed for the lesson, and afterwards I send you homework and a short manual to review during the week.
How does the free trial work?
You book a free 20-minute lesson through the booking page. We meet in the classroom at the agreed time, talk a bit (in French or English depending on your level), figure out what you'd like to focus on, and decide together whether to continue with a paid pack. No commitment after the trial
How do I pay?
Lessons are sold in packs — 3, 6, 12, or 18 hours, with 30/45/60-minute session options. Payment is online through the booking system. Lessons can be scheduled at your own pace within 12 months of purchase.
What if I need to reschedule?
You can reschedule up to 24 hours before a lesson at no cost. Last-minute cancellations may count toward your pack, depending on the circumstances.
What languages do you speak?
French (native), English (fluent), Thai (intermediate), Spanish (low intermediate). I usually teach in French, but for beginners I'll switch into English (or simplified French) as much as needed.
Xavier is an excellent tutor, I feel like I am progressing much faster now that I’m having lessons with him. He is always well prepared and uses helpful resources, and he tailors the exercises to my level and my needs.
Super fun, super cool, super nice guy who makes learning French fun. Highly recommend!
I’ve had a really great experience learning French with Xavier. The lessons are well-structured, clear, and easy to follow, even when the material becomes more advanced. He’s very patient and takes the time to explain things in a way that actually makes sense, not just memorization. What I especially appreciate is the balance between grammar, speaking practice, and real-life usage.
I started lessons with Xavier as a beginner. He was well organised and tailored the lessons specifically for me. He has a very warm and welcoming energy, I felt comfortable to make mistakes and ask any questions.
Xavier est très expérimenté et sympathique, sa classe est très drôle. Je le recommande ! Merci !
La leçon de Xavier est très dynamique et drôle. On utilise beaucoup de fiches et on regarde beaucoup de vidéos. C’est très bon ! Merci beaucoup.
I really recommend Xavier as a French teacher. He is very punctual and friendly, has an excellent internet connection so there are no connectivity problems during class. He adapts to the needs of the student and is also very patient.
Great first lesson. Smart, open conversation which helped determine my needs for future classes. Will be taking more classes and recommended for those looking for an experienced but relaxed teaching style.
I had a great first lesson with Xavier. I truly enjoyed learning French with him. He is very patient and helpful. I am looking forward to taking more lessons from him.
Xavier is an excellent teacher with a very engaging personality. He takes his teaching seriously and is always conscientious about sending weekly assignments. He’s also able to adapt to my needs and interests. Highly recommend!
Ma femme est très satisfaite des cours avec Xavier ! Il explique bien la grammaire sans que ce soit ennuyeux.
Xavier is a great tutor! He is very patient and has helped me to build my confidence speaking in French.

The online classroom
Lessons run in a real classroom, not a plain video call
We can both write, draw and share material while we talk, the way you would at a table together. The room runs on BrainCert in your browser, so there is nothing to install.
Unlimited boards
Like pages of a notebook: grammar on one board, vocabulary on another. Nothing is erased until you say so.
The interactive whiteboard
The heart of the lesson. Every new word, correction and example is written here live — and you can write too.
Live video & audio
Xavier face to face, in HD. Camera optional if you are shy — the voice is what matters.
Your classmates
Lessons are one-to-one or small groups — see who is in the room with you.
The class chat
New words typed out so you never mis-hear them. Copy the whole chat home after class — free revision notes.
Share anything
Screen, slides, PDFs, audio, video — straight onto the board when the lesson needs it.
Raise your hand
Classroom manners, built in. Plus layouts that switch between board, video or both.
Bonjour, I’m Xavier, a native French speaker and I’ve been teaching online since 2020. I’ve worked with complete beginners, advanced learners, and everyone in between. My students stay because lessons are structured, focused, and adapted to their lives.
- A shared board we can both write on, so spelling and structure are visible rather than spoken.
- A shared screen for documents, images and exercises during the lesson.
- Interactive material rather than a static PDF read aloud.
- Session notes you keep afterwards, so the lesson does not evaporate when we hang up.
All you need is a browser and a headset. The free 20-minute trial runs in exactly the same room.
