Gain confidence in speaking French with complete immersion
From 53.3 C$ /h
The French language has an orthographic complexity approximately six times higher than its Latin cousins such as Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese. It is quite natural for non-native speakers to have difficulty, particularly with nasal vowels. Add to this the national sport of practicing implicit meaning, sarcasm, and innuendos of all kinds, and the foreign learner is completely confused. There is a world of difference between the rules and their uses! In short, rest assured, you will be guided through the different language registers as well as the different meanings, perceptions, and other explicit and implicit norms depending on the context. Curiosity and a taste for understanding are the key words for enjoying the French language, which is only matched by its gastronomy.

About Me
Hello, my name is Laurent and I gave my first private lesson in 2003. In 2012 I gave my first online course and since 2016 I've been working exclusively online. It was also in 2016 that I discovered the links that can be made between natural languages (French, English, Spanish, Russian, etc.) and formal languages (maths, programming, etc.). Thanks to this dual approach, I've been able to help many students on several continents and of all ages. So why not you?
Education
My most recent degree dates from 2015 at the University of Paris-Est Créteil when I was a maths teacher at secondary school in the Paris region; it was a master's degree in teaching.
Before that I did a master's degree in mathematical engineering for life sciences at Paris Descartes University.
And before that I did a master's degree in fundamental mathematics at the University of Provence.

Mathematics is fascinating because it has applications in all areas of human activity, as well as in the observation and study of natural phenomena. As Galileo said, the book of natural laws is written in mathematical language. And yet, all too often, they are taught in an uninviting way, by rote recitation rather than by trying to arouse the learner's (natural) curiosity. In their earliest childhood, all human beings went through the ‘why’ phase. This phase proves our natural curiosity and our desire to understand how the world around us works. That's what maths is all about: curiosity and a taste for trying to understand how systems work. Whether it's numerical or geometric systems, or the information systems we use every day. Every prompt or query you type in your favourite language model (whether American, Chinese or European) is automatically transformed into a mathematical statistical calculation to be processed by artificial intelligence. In short, maths is everywhere, so we might as well rediscover a taste for natural curiosity, so that we can get to grips with it and understand its usefulness.
