Student testimonials
-Tyler S. California, USA
I have taken French lessons with David for 4 months. He gently let me know when I made mistakes but also provided me with specific positive feedback when I was correct. He was very personable during the lesson but stuck closely to his lesson plan so that there was no wasted time. He elicited a very high number of student responses within the allotted hour for the lesson. In this way the hour passed very quickly because I was fully engaged. The time was divided into 2 parts, a grammar section and a directed conversation section. During the conversation time, I answered given questions that asked about my opinions, life experiences etc. David would also answer these questions according to his life experiences and in doing so, served as a French language model for me. I was a former teacher (not of French) and all of these traits are what research has shown to be best practices for teaching in the most effective manner. I would recommend David for those in need of a French tutor. – Connie B., Hawaii
At the end of the session with David I always feel successful no matter how difficult it may have been for me…his enthusiasm for teaching and his gentle way of correction is incredibly supportive. At 64 years old it is never easy to learn something new, but David’s logical and organized approach has helped lay a strong foundation to move onto the next level. Merci Beaucoup, Theresa M., California

My Lessons
I currently teach to all levels from beginner, intermediate and advanced. I’ve worked as a tutor with both challenged and gifted high school students as well as helped professionals ranging from doctors, lawyers, college professors, diplomats, authors, pscho therapists and chemists. Through my private one-on-one online French course I guide students through a series of high school textbooks. I use the books because they offer a very solid foundation in grammar (sentence structure), verb conjugations and vocabulary. But, we aren’t completely bound to the textbooks and I include a whole lifetime of personal experience in the lessons. So, we combine the lesson material in the book with real conversation from the very start. In general, I suggest about 40 minutes of book work and about 15 minutes of open conversation. For intermediate and advanced students we do an entire hour of conversation based on an exclusive series of conversation lessons that I’ve written myself.
Textbooks
I currently use the following textbook which are all available on Amazon.com. I use the Discovering French high school textbook series by Valette-Valette as well as Complete French All-in-One from the Practice Makes Perfect series.

How It Works
I am available to teach all of the days of the week except Saturdays. I can be very flexible with scheduling so that you can have your class before, after or even during work. All lessons last for 60 minutes unless I have a session the following hour. In that case the lesson lasts 55 minutes. I’m located in Victor, Idaho in the Teton Valley, USA and am on mountain time. My teaching days are Thursdays through Sundays.
