"Bonjour!

My name is Sylvan and I'm a French native male with over 25 years of private tutoring experience.

I'm also a Piano teacher with 18 years of private teaching experience.

I have a BA from UC Berkeley, and a Master's in Music Composition from San Francisco State University.

I started tutoring French when I was in school, and continued after moving to LA in 2004. I've helped students from several local high schools in the LA area: Palisades High, Crossroads, Archer, New Roads, Windward, Harvard-Westlake, etc...And Colleges: UCLA, SMC, USC.

I can also help adults, beginners to advanced, learn the basics or practice their French conversation skills.

Although I prefer in person lessons, like many of us since the pandemic, I've done a lot of teaching on Zoom. So, I'm happy to tutor you even if you live in another city or state.

When I'm not busy tutoring French, and teaching piano to kids, I enjoy writing and releasing songs on streaming platforms. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Whether you're in school trying to improve your grades in French, or preparing a trip to France, I can help you!

Merci et à bientôt!" less...
