Teaching French as a second language since 2017.

I speak a total of 4 languages:
French (Native), English (Advanced), Chinese (Intermediate), Spanish (Intermediate).

I've visited or lived in the following countries: England, Wales, Spain, Turkey, Taiwan, India, China, Malaysia, Cambodia

"• You are going to love your teacher(s) • You will make surprisingly fast progress • You will develop the confidence to speak French I have been taking French classes twice a week for 10 months with two different teachers. Our conversations have gone from my lacking confidence in the simplest of greetings to the sort you would hold with a fascinating friend: travel, movies, daily life, current events, geopolitics, energy policy, and so forth. These one-on-one lessons are invaluable for advancing your speaking skills and confidence. I find the website very easy to use. Just access your teacher’s calendar and select the dates/times that fit your schedule. If you encounter any difficulties, the Live Lingua team is very responsive. I also appreciate not being bombarded with junk email. You will receive confirmation of each class you register for and receive a class reminder the day of. They also offered a holiday discount promotion at Christmas which I took advantage of. Aside from that, the management team seems to get out of the way and let the teachers do their thing. If you want to jump start your French give Live Lingua a try." Karen B. - Unknown

"Thank you. I got a total of 92,50/100 with individual scores as Comprehension 23,50/25, Production 23,50/25, Comprehension oral 22,00/25, Production oral 23,50/25. on the B2 DELF exam." Hansel G. - Doctor

"My teacher is Noah and he's awesome! He makes the classes fun and interesting. He prepares an amazing lesson everytime and there's always something new. In his evaluation for me, he said that I need to improve my vocabulary. Immediately he changed his classes to feature a lot of different topics. The care and attention that he puts into the class is 11/10. I would recommend (and have!) Live Lingua to ANYONE!" Zoe D. - CRM Marketing Coordinator

"I wanted to share how it's been for my first few lessons with Cedric. When I had my 30-minute trial lesson and assessment, I felt very good that Cedric understood what I was hoping to gain from future lessons. Since then, he has been everything I hoped for and more. My hope was to have someone who could help me "dust off" my French and help with some of the finer rules that I have forgotten, vocabulary, and so on. I do not need to study for any exam. This is purely for my own personal growth. Cedric has done a fantastic job with maintaining conversations with me, being patient when I try to remember an old word and encouraging me at the right times with the correct word or phrase. I had originally asked for him to be honest with correctly when I got a phrase wrong or got the wrong gender for a word, and so on, but not to stop me mid-sentence because that would be unnerving. Cedric is the model for how all tutors should be. Here's an example of how he handled that request. I was sharing a story of when I lived in France and introduced myself to a group. I used a literal translation of "i introduced myself." He let me finish the story and then politely said, "Just for your own knowledge, everyone would understand that phrase. To sound more native, we would say "I presented myself" instead of "I introduced myself." He has been like that all along with me so far. He doesn't "correct me", he will just subtly step in when needed to say, "To sound more native, here's what I suggest." He creates such a relaxed environment where I feel like I can grow and advance. My goal was to be able to have little lists of questions that arise that we can discuss, to have good conversation, to have my vocabulary stretched, and to THEN worry about a lesson if we have time. I have no need for a structured lesson. Again, I'm not studying for anything. This is a treat for myself. So, he provides a lesson. If we get to it, that's great. If not, it's because he's been free with letting me go through my list of questions and to discuss what was on my mind. Like, for this week, I saw a documentary about the big fire in the Notre Dame Cathedral. The interviews were all in French, and I had learned a few new words. He verified that I had understood them correctly. We talked about accents and various regions and went through my long list of questions. I left the lesson beyond satisfied. He is exactly what I had wished for. I have already been telling people about Live Lingua and trying to get them to sign up!" Michael M. - Unknown
