Native French Tutor, 25 Years Experience Helping Students of All Grades and Levels!
Bonjour,
I was born and raised in France.
I started tutoring my fellow students when I was an undergrad at UC Berkeley.
Since I moved to LA, I've helped middle school, high school and college students (SMC, UCLA, USC)!
I've tutored all levels, from beginners to PhD students!
I can help your kids with homework, test prep, grammar, pronunciation, idioms and conversation.
And, I can help YOU if you're getting ready for a trip to France!
I'm equally comfortable teaching online, or in person if you live in the LA/Santa Monica areas.
Whatever your goal is, getting an A in a test, or aiming at fluency, I'll be happy to guide you!
À bientôt!
Sylvan

About Sylvan G.
5.0
(7)
Bonjour,
My name is Sylvan and I was born and raised in France. Tutoring French has come quite naturally to me, starting with my fellow students who needed help with their French classes, when I was an undergraduate at UC Berkeley, and then also when I was in grad school at San Francisco State University.
Since I’ve moved to Los Angeles in 2004, I’ve tutored children and young adults alike, from first graders at the Lycée Français, to PhD students at UCLA. I've become familiar with the French curriculum of various local high schools thanks to the many teenagers I have tutored, and I continue to find the teaching process enriching.
Whatever your goal is, getting an A in your next French test, or getting ready for your next trip to France, I'm confident I can help you achieve it!
Looking forward to meeting you!
À bientôt!

Sylvan has been my daughter’s piano teacher for nearly 4 years. He came recommended from a friend and we are so happy he did. Sylvan makes the lessons engaging, informative and fun.
I look forward to many more years of my daughters development as his student.

My son has been taking lessons from Sylvan for several years now. Sylvan is a great teacher who works to make each lesson fun and engaging for the student…including talking soccer which my son is obsessed with. I would definitely recommend Sylvan for novices to advanced students

For the last three years, Sylvan has been my French tutor and an invaluable help as I pursue my Masters and PhD in French history at UCLA.
In addition to grammar and conversation practice, Sylvan and I have also worked on practicing translating French texts at an upper academic level.
Sylvan has also been remarkably flexible with this scheduling and even offers ZOOM sessions as an option.
