About Ian
I am a French tutor with over 3 years of experience and a BA in French Cultural Policy and Arts Management. My teaching specializes in advanced French studies, with a focus on Old French, historical linguistics, and early French texts. I work closely with university students and scholars who are exploring the roots of the language and preparing for specialized research projects. I have a deep passion for epic poems, chivalric romances, and foundational authors whose works shaped French literature. Lessons often include careful reading, textual analysis, and discussions of linguistic evolution. I guide students in understanding grammar, vocabulary, and stylistic features of historical texts. My approach combines close reading with contextual exploration, helping learners connect language with culture and history. I support students in developing critical thinking and analytical skills, whether for coursework, theses, or research. Each session is tailored to individual goals, balancing rigor with intellectual curiosity. By studying Old French and historical linguistics, students gain a deeper appreciation for the origins and evolution of the language. My goal is to help learners master both the technical and literary aspects of French. Together, we explore texts that are centuries old and uncover their enduring beauty and significance. With guidance and practice, students develop fluency in understanding complex texts and the confidence to conduct meaningful research. Mastering these foundations opens the door to a richer experience of French language and literature.

My teaching approach in French is designed to develop both language skills and cultural understanding. I focus on classic literature, news articles, debate, and creative writing to help learners think deeply and express themselves clearly. Lessons encourage analysis, discussion, and sophisticated use of vocabulary.
I guide students through reading complex texts, exploring themes, and interpreting meaning. Debates and structured discussions help build argumentation skills and confidence in expressing opinions. Creative writing exercises allow learners to experiment with style, tone, and narrative techniques in French.
I work well with professionals and hobbyists alike, tailoring lessons to their interests and goals. Each session balances skill-building with exploration, making learning engaging and intellectually stimulating. I emphasize both precision and nuance, helping students communicate ideas with clarity and depth.
By integrating reading, writing, and discussion, learners gain a holistic understanding of the language. I provide guidance, feedback, and encouragement to ensure steady progress. Lessons are challenging yet supportive, promoting confidence and growth.
Together, we explore complex ideas in French and cultivate the skills needed for meaningful communication. Every session is an opportunity to strengthen fluency, comprehension, and cultural insight.
