ABOUT ME
With six years of teaching experience, including two at the University of Birmingham, UK, I currently teach French to international students and expats. As a specialist in linguistics and phonetics, my fluency in four other languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese and Hungarian) enables me to teach French using multiple linguistic perspectives, creating a personalised and excellent learning experience.
My name is Tanguy and I am a qualified French teacher.
​
I was born near Paris and I grew up in more than 12 cities throughout France.
​
I completed my BA in linguistics in Birmingham, United Kingdom, and then decided to pursue an MA in linguistics and phonetics at the University of Toulouse, France.
Throughout my academic studies, I have conducted research projects in linguistics in France and the United Kingdom. I have built scientific corpora and contributed to the analysis of the British English accent and the French language varieties.
​
Moreover, I taught French to BA and MA students at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom for 2 years. I was also a private French tutor in Birmingham to pupils applying for the University of Oxford and Birmingham. Back in France, I have helped students successfully apply for business schools and aviation schools, including the prestigious Air France academy in Toulouse, France.
​
Finally, I have helped international employees at Airbus, Sanofi, Bloomberg, Bank of America and other companies to improve their French language skills in professional situations.
​
With 6 years teaching experience, I have helped over 100 students reach their goals in French. From absolute beginners to advanced learners, my one-on-one French lessons have allowed my students to develop their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
