Roger, trilingual English–French–German tutor and author

About Me

If I could do it, then so can you.

I’m the author behind the FrenchToEnglish.com guides and the teacher who provides the private tutoring. Born to British parents and raised in Germany, I learned French entirely as an adult — which means I know exactly what it feels like to struggle with the language, and what actually helps. I’m also a trained linguist with a full degree in Linguistics.

I moved to France in 2012 and have spent more than 13 years teaching, writing, and helping English speakers make sense of French without confusion or overwhelm.
