Private French Lessons • 1:1 with Roger 👨‍🏫

Learn French 1:1 with Roger — Your Dedicated Private Tutor from English to French

Learn French in clear English with Roger — the linguist, author of the French to English guides, and the only teacher behind these private lessons. Born to British parents and raised in Frankfurt, Germany, he learnt French as an adult, moved to France in 2012, and has now spent 13 years living and working fully in French. He speaks English, French, and German fluently — a genuinely rare kind of trilingual guide for your journey. 🌍 Short, focused sessions, practical speaking, and feedback you can use immediately — perfect for absolute beginners (A0–A1), false beginners, and strong progress all the way up to C1. 🚀

Who is Roger, your French teacher?

❓ Who is Roger? Roger is the author of the French to English guides and the single teacher behind all private lessons on this site. You never get a random tutor or a rotating “team” — every session is with the same person who designed the method and wrote the guides you see on the website. That consistency means he really gets to know how you think, where you get stuck, and what kind of explanations make French finally click. 👌

🌍 What is Roger’s background? Roger was born to British parents and grew up in Frankfurt, Germany, so from childhood he has lived between languages and school systems. He then moved to France in 2012, learnt French as an adult, and built a life entirely in French — work, friends, neighbours, paperwork, everything. Today he has 13 years of real daily experience in French, which he uses to guide you through exactly the same transition, step by step.

🎓 What did Roger study? Roger holds two Bachelor’s degrees: a BA in French with Marketing from Northumbria University, and a BA in Linguistics from the University of London in Paris. This mix of language science and practical communication helps him explain French in a way that makes sense for real life — not just for exams. His training is academic, but his style is down-to-earth and ultra clear.

🇫🇷🇩🇪 Is Roger really trilingual? Yes. Roger speaks English, French, and German fluently. Having grown up in Frankfurt and then moved to France, he has experienced what it means to live fully in more than one language. That perspective is rare: he understands how your English brain works, how French really sounds in daily life, and how it feels to switch between languages without freezing. He is the kind of trilingual teacher you almost never meet.

🎯 What kind of students does Roger teach? Roger teaches English-speaking learners from complete beginners (A0) right up to advanced students (C1). He has a special talent for helping A0–B1 students escape the “I’ve studied for years but still can’t speak” feeling, but he also works with higher-level learners who want to polish their French for work, long-term life in France, or demanding exams. He is also open to designing fully customised study plans for learners who want to improve their English — for example French speakers who prefer clear explanations in French or bilingual coaching in English. If you think in English, switch between English and French, or need English for work and travel, he can build a plan around that. 📝

🧠 How does Roger teach during lessons? Lessons with Roger are clear, structured, and very human. He mixes short explanations in English with concrete French examples, drills the structures you really need at A1–B1 and beyond, and gives immediate, kind corrections. You always know the goal of each activity: why you are saying this sentence, which pattern you are practising, and how it will help you in real conversations. No endless theory, no guilt-tripping about “not doing enough” — just realistic, visible progress tailored to your level, whether that’s A0 or C1.

📚 What is the link between the guides and the lessons? The French to English guides are Roger’s written version of his method: clear diagrams, comparisons with English, and practical phrases. In lessons, he reuses the same logic but adapts it to you. You can bring questions from the guides, practise the phrases aloud, and get them corrected on the spot. If you like having a written reference plus a real person to coach you, this combination is designed for you. 📘

📈 What can you expect after a few weeks with Roger? After a few weeks, most students report three things: clearer pronunciation, less fear of speaking, and a much better sense of what to focus on. Roger will tell you honestly which topics you can ignore for now, which habits to fix first, and how to turn small pockets of time into real practice. The goal is simple: one teacher, one clear path, and steady, visible progress towards feeling at home in French — whether your target is solid A2, confident B1, or polished C1. 🌟
