Your free chat
Here's exactly what happens.
We talk about your goals.
Where is your French now? Where do you want it to be? Holiday, work, relocation, or just a long-held ambition? I want to understand what you actually need.
I tell you honestly if I can help.
If FluentISH is the right fit, we agree next steps on the call. If it's not, I'll say so and point you somewhere useful. No pitch, no pressure.
It's 15 minutes. It's free. That's it.
No credit card. No obligation. No follow-up emails if you decide it's not for you. Just a conversation.
What makes this different
Not an app. Not a classroom.
Not a group.
Fully 1-on-1, always.
Your session, your pace. No shared attention, no waiting for someone else to finish conjugating.
Real conversation from day one.
No gap-fills, no worksheets. You speak French in the very first session. That's how it works.
Bespoke to your actual goals.
Holiday prep, work French, relocation, or just a decades-old ambition you've never quite got around to. We build around you.
Zero homework guilt.
Optional practice resources only. No streaks, no notifications at 11pm, no guilt trips. You're an adult.
Availability is limited. The free chat is the fastest way to check.
What students say
Real results, real people.
"I booked an intensive course of seven lessons with Dan, and it was one of the best decisions I've made. He quickly spotted exactly what was holding me back and taught me practical phrases and natural responses that made a huge difference. For the first time, I found that French people actually kept speaking to me in French rather than immediately switching to English."
"Dan's knowledge of the French language is exceptional, but what really sets him apart is how well he adapts his teaching to your individual goals. Afterwards, he sent me incredibly detailed lesson notes and resources that were absolute gold."

"I had my first lesson today and very happy to recommend! I really like his approach and found it a lot easier than my previous attempts! Don't get too popular though Dan as I need my lessons!!"

Your tutor
Bilingual. Paris since 2011. Surprisingly local.
I'm Dan. Disney cast me as the English and French voice of a well-known little blue alien for around five years, the only person ever given that role in both languages. The show was live, in French, in front of French audiences. You cannot wing that.
After the voice work, I spent five years as a Financial Analyst at Disneyland Paris. Same organisation, very different French. I know how the language works on stage, in a boardroom, and in a restaurant when you've ordered the wrong thing. Again.
Let's talk ↓Common questions
Before you book.
Do I need any French at all? ↓
No. If you have literally zero French, we start from zero. The only requirement is that you want to learn.
Is this a video call? ↓
Yes, via Google Meet. Camera is entirely optional. Some students prefer audio only, and that works perfectly well.
Will I get a sales pitch? ↓
No. If I can help, we agree next steps. If FluentISH isn't the right fit, I'll say so and point you somewhere useful. No follow-up emails either way.
What happens after the chat? ↓
If we're a good fit, we book a first paid session at a time that suits you. If not, nothing. No pressure, no chasing.
