MEET YOUR FRENCH INSTRUCTOR
Bonjour ! Je m’appelle Sev. Voulez-vous apprendre le français avec moi ? Hello! My name is Sev. I was born in New York City. At age two, I moved to France’s Loire Valley. My mother studied at the Sorbonne and became a German teacher, and my father spoke four languages fluently, so they encouraged a love of languages, culture, travel and the arts in me. I have taught French online, in person, and as a private tutor. I have worked for Living Language/Random House, Rosetta Stone, and the Alliance Française of San Francisco.
For me, it’s most important to help my students feel comfortable with a new language, even as a beginner. I want my students to feel confident when speaking, especially when making mistakes: it’s how we learn! The beauty of live lessons is that we can also address/touch on personal interests, about the language, the culture – food, art, history and more.
If you’re considering lessons in French, book a consultation and free trial lesson, so you can see how I teach, and I can discover how you learn. If there’s a match, nous apprenons ensemble ! We’ll learn together!
