Online and in-person one-to-one tutoring for IB French (SL & HL) based in Milan
A little about me
I am a full-time career tutor with more than 10 years of experience and over 7,000 hours of one-to-one tutoring. My work focuses primarily on the IB curriculum, though I have also taught A Levels and IGCSE and supported students with their university admissions to top French institutions through Parcoursup.
I developed a suite of diagnostic tools to assess each student’s unique strengths and weaknesses, enabling me to build a clear, structured roadmap for their progress. My professional career also includes extensive residential tutoring in Monaco, Milan, and across Switzerland.
Outside of tutoring, I am President of Associazione Lumo, a non-profit based in Milan focused on widening access to education and supporting integration initiatives in Italy.
Testimonials
“Adam was supported by Louis while studying A-Level French at the French Lycée in London, competing directly with native speakers. With Louis's support, he achieved an A* in his final exams and secured his place at the University of Bristol to study Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. French opened the door.”
— Judit , parent | A-Level French | London, UK
“Louis accompanied our two sons through almost a decade of school, from elementary school until their final high-school exam Both achieved a 7 in French. But beyond the results, he was a genuinely positive presence in their lives during some of their most formative years. More than a tutor he was a life companion for them and we couldn't recommend him more highly.”
— Parent of two IB students | IB MYP & DP French | Milan, Italy
Disciplinary & Strategic Expertise
I focus exclusively on French language tutoring, so I truly understand the syllabus and what examiners expect. I use this insight to guide students clearly through the course, ensuring they feel confident and prepared for their exams.
IB French Preparation (SL/HL)
I help students understand exactly what examiners reward, not just how to speak French well. Most students who improve their grade do so by changing how they approach the exam, not by studying more vocabulary.
Admissions & Parcoursup Consulting
I have guided students through the French university admissions process, including Parcoursup applications to institutions such as Sciences Po, ESSEC and ESCP. If your child is considering a French-speaking university, I can help them navigate the process.
Method Guides & Resources
Access structured guides and frameworks used in Louis's private tutoring sessions, designed to help students prepare independently between lessons.
