Master FRENCH with a passionate native speaker and expert teacher with over a decade of experience

Bonjour ! Le français facile et amusant, c'est avec moi ! Originaire de la banlieue parisienne (Nogent-Sur-Marne), ma langue maternelle est le français, mais je sais que cela ne suffit pas pour être un bon enseignant. En 2002, j'ai obtenu un diplôme en littérature française (en plus de l'anglais, de l'allemand et du russe). Je suis un enseignant patient, adapté à tous les niveaux et à tous les âges. De plus, on dit souvent que c'est fun de travailler avec moi. N'hésitez pas à demander de l'aide, que cela soit à des fins personnelles ou professionnelles. Le français a un charme unique, et le secret est de pratiquer ! C'est facile ! Commençons par les bases, puis progressons ensemble étape par étape ! Pour les blagues françaises et les rimes, je serai également là pour vous aider.

About Jonathan "JC" C.

Bonjour ! Hello! I believe the best way to teach is to make it simple and fun! I am patient and dedicated to your success. QUALITY FIRST Everybody wants the best. I believe quality is the most important. I also believe each person is unique. Therefore, each student should have tailored lessons. HAPPY TEACHING Teaching should be a positive and fun experience. I believe in a personalized and genuine approach. In my experience, the benefits are enormous: we save a lot of time and energy, and since it is more suited to the student, we are more efficient and happy! Hopefully, Wisdom will come out of this process. All we need is a little support to all grow together. PHOTOGRAPHY Photography has been my full-time job since 2003. I used to live and work in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I have over 20 years of expertise as a professional photographer. Recent clients include Porsche Minneapolis, Taste of the NFL, and Medal of Honor Convention Twin Cities.

This was the first time we used TakeLessons website to find a tutor for my son. We were a bit hesitant about the quality of teachers we may find on the site. There were many tutors for Photoshop to choose from but we went ahead with JC. His description of attention to quality and ensure kids have fun while learning is what attracted us to his profile. I must say, he lived up to the description in his profile and our son enjoyed the manner in which he spoke and how he conducted the lessons. I would recommend him for Photoshop definitely and we will continue to work with JC as our time and his time permit. Excellent Photoshop tutor!
