Hi everyone! My name is Sebastien. I'm a certified French teacher. I am originally from France, but in 2014 I decided to move to Colombia where I currently live and work. I hold the DAEFLE (Diploma in Teaching French as a Foreign Language). I have a good level of English and speak Spanish fluently. I consider myself a calm, patient, attentive and flexible person. I love to travel ! In an increasingly connected world, discovering new languages and new cultures are aspects that seem fundamental to me!
Concerning my professional experience, I worked in different language institutes from 2014 to 2020. Since 2020, I have been working as a private online FLE teacher. In addition, all of this has given me the opportunity to work with different audiences, mainly adults and teenagers, with different objectives:
- study in a French-speaking country.
- work in a French-speaking country.
- take a French exam (DELF / TCF)
- go sightseeing in a French-speaking country.
- pleasure in learning a new language.
I adapt my lessons to your French level, to your experience with learning French and to your objectives. Do you want to travel, study or work in a French-speaking country? Certify your level of French? Learn a language for fun? I will prepare my lessons according to your expectations and your objectives so that your learning process is a real pleasure and not an obligation!
My methodology is based on COMMUNICATION and ACTION, and is oriented towards learning grammar, vocabulary and phonetics through authentic documents. Knowing how to conjugate the past tense is good! But knowing how to use it to tell a friend what you did last weekend is better! The objective of my courses is that you can communicate in real life situations through different comprehension and production activities (oral and written).

While I already reviewed Sebastien when I first started working with him, I thought it was time to do so again. We've worked together for a few months prior to an upcoming vacation in France. He's been an incredible help in making me feel more comfortable and confident while speaking French. He's a wonderful teacher and is great as customizing the lessons to my needs. I plan to continue working with him after I return from vacation.

Sebastien is a great teacher! I'm just starting out with him, but with each lesson I feel more confident. He meets me where I am and is a pleasure to work with.

Sébastien doesn't correct every mistake that I make so that I don't get tongue-tied and self-conscious and the conversation can be normal, but stops to correct the major errors so that I can focus on those with the whiteboard that he sends at the end of every lesson.
