Joseph is a great French teacher! I have really enjoyed learning with him and how knowledgeable he is re. the language. He always has a learning plan in mind and offers great hacks to remember grammar rules.

Joseph’s approach to teaching is pragmatic, focusing on practical application of the language through conversation. He creates a comfortable environment so that you can thrive and become confident over a short period of time. Highly recommend Joseph!

Joseph is a wonderful teacher! Starting the journey of learning a new language can be quite daunting, and that’s exactly how my partner and I felt when we began our first French lesson earlier this year. As complete beginners, we weren’t sure which approach would suit us best, but after just one lesson with Joseph, we knew we had made the right choice. Joseph is super patient, knowledgeable and just easy to learn from. He creates a comfortable, supportive and fun environment that makes every lesson both highly effective and highly enjoyable – even when things get difficult! We leave each class feeling like we’ve learned so much and had a lot of fun in the process. Learning a language should be enjoyable, and thanks to Joseph, it is!

I am so pleased to have found Joseph! The lessons are structured in a way that makes learning French easy and digestible, plus he makes you feel comfortable and confident!

I had been living in France for just on 12 months and had been having weekly French lessons both private and in small group for over 9 months. My understanding of grammar, vocab and comprehension had all improved, however, my conversational French was still poor. Friends would often ask how is your French going, and I would say my comprehension is improving but my conversational skills aren’t. That’s when friends recommended Joseph, of Fast French. They had had lessons to improve their conversational French before travelling. On a return trip to Melbourne, I had in person lessons with Joseph and have continued with online lessons, now that I am back in France. Joseph has greatly improved my confidence and conversational skills in a relatively short period of time. His approach meets my need to communicate rather than achieve purely academic goals. It works really well! He is kind, has endless patience, is always encouraging and views making a mistake as part of the learning process, not failure. I highly recommend Joseph to anyone who is looking for a French tutor. Ina Macbeth

I highly recommend Fast French. Joseph is an excellent teacher. He is methodical, patient, and responsive to my needs as a student. He listened to my goals and continues to address each of them, and slowly my pronunciation is improving. His sense of humour is invaluable in keeping me at ease and supporting me in my learning.

Joseph is a great teacher. He is very patient, but also takes the time to explain the various characteristics of the French language in a really accessible way.

I highly recommend Fast French. Joseph is a fabulous teacher. He is so knowledgeable about language and pedagogy. He uses very effective teaching techniques so you progress more quickly than you'd expect. He also gives you lots of tips and resources to use outside of class. I can't imagine a better way to learn French.

Highly recommend Fast French!! Joseph is patient and diligent. He listens attentively to the areas that I wish to focus on, establishes a strong plan of action and approaches these topics with care and positive encouragement. I'm never made to feel disheartened when making errors. In the time that I've been working with Joseph, I feel that my pronunciation, grasp of grammar rules and vocabulary have come such a long way. I'm increasingly starting to think in French rather than translating from English all the time. It's exciting to make progress learning a second language as an adult with someone who's equally invested in your progress!

I've been taking lessons at Fast French for the past six months, in preparation for a trip to France. Thanks to teacher Joseph's expert tuition and encouragement, my skills in French have greatly improved. I now have a good grasp on some of the trickier aspects of grammar and pronunciation of modern French. In studying the language I have also gained insight into French culture today. My lessons at Fast French are always engaging and productive. Highly recommended.
