About Max
I grew up in Brussels, Belgium, studied in the Netherlands, and spent five exciting years working in London’s tech industry. Along the way, I fell in love with languages and meeting people from different cultures. Teaching French became a natural extension of this passion, and I’ve been doing it for years—starting with online exchanges and growing through word of mouth. I love creating a warm, supportive space where students feel comfortable and excited to practice their French.

My lessons are adaptable and designed around your unique goals, which we’ll define together in our first session. I’m convinced that the best way to learn modern French is through constant PRACTICE and SPEAKING. Be prepared to talk a lot and challenge yourself—having a glass of water nearby is a must!
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Max.
Perfect! Max is a very personable and patient French tutor. We use our time together to practice real conversational French, and it helps me get it out of the textbook and into the real world. It's always wonderful to learn from a native speaker who knows the culture and nuances of the tongue. And you feel as if you are broadening your horizons beyond just the language and the pronunciation. I am also starting to watch TV shows I know online in French to supplement our time together. Max is a great choice.
Perfect! Max is fantastic at what he does! He establishes a very safe + open space, and has a very encouraging attitude. His approach to his guidance is via curiosity - he initiates and maintains an interactive flow that is built upon true engagement + wonder. The vibe is far from a classroom style, and more similar to a facetime with an old friend (but there is due diligence - he will correct your word choice, syntax, and pronunciation/accent). Highly recommend if you'd like to challenge yourself and grow in your ability to free-talk / hold a conversation in the language ♡ ♡ ♡
Perfect! Max is great! He does an excellent job working vocabulary and grammar lessons into conversations that are fun and interesting. Highly recommend!
Perfect! Max is an exceptional teacher. His teaching style is highly effective in helping individuals learn and improve their French speaking skills. Our time together seems to fly by.
- I had my first French lesson with Alex and it was a great experience. From the very beginning, he showed strong motivation and a genuine desire to practice French.Max's response :
What really stood out is how dedicated Alex is and how unafraid he is to speak. This kind of attitude is exactly what helps students make fast progress. I’m really looking forward to continuing our lessons together.
Perfect! Super patient and very encouraging :) Love his lessons
- Nadia is an incredibly motivated French student. She’s refreshingly direct, which makes our lessons dynamic and effective, and she’s completely unafraid to speak—an essential quality for rapid progress. I really enjoyed our first lesson together and I’m excited to see how quickly she’ll continue to improve.Max's response :
Perfect! Just had my first lesson with him and I can already tell it's going to be a great time learning French!
Perfect! Max is an amazing French tutor, especially for conversational fluency. I initially needed help with my speaking abilities, and he effortlessly gets me speaking for a full hour in French during every session. He skillfully guides the conversation around topics I'm actually interested in, which in turn motivates me to focus on and improve my grammar and vocab. My weekly sessions with Max are a genuine highlight of my week. I wholeheartedly recommend him for anyone looking to improve their French in a dynamic and authentic way
- Teaching Michelle is a real pleasure. She is extremely motivated and determined, and comes with solid foundations in French, which makes our conversations flow naturally. I can take her into long and complex discussions with ease, and her enthusiasm makes every session enjoyableMax's response :
Perfect! Excellent!
Perfect! I surprised my husband with French lessons and Max has been the perfect tutor for him! Each lesson is organized and productive. It's clear how my husband's skills are progressing and his confidence in speaking French is getting stronger. Def recommend!
- I'm currently teaching Caleb, Alexandra's husband, and it's truly a pleasure. He's an incredibly dedicated and motivated student (he holds the longest Duolingo streak I've ever seen!) Week after week, Caleb gains more confidence and fluency, and it's been great to watch his progress unfold. His commitment to learning is inspiring, and each lesson with him is both productive and enjoyable.Max's response :
Perfect! i came here because of the comments!
i really did. thanks to the students both past and present for their reviews - really made a difference in finding the right tutor. you lot raved about max and post my intro session, i can understand why. super patient, focused and genuinely interested in creating an approach that gives the student the confidence to stick with it. classes are easy to set up, follow up is quick and the content is structured according to where you are on your journey. (re)learning a language is not easy regardless of life stage or age. it’s easier to find reasons to drop it. with max i think you’ll find many reasons to overcome any frustrations and hurdles and instead lean into learning this beautiful language. bonne chance !- Pele is an incredibly motivated student, and it's been such a pleasure working with him! Even after just a few lessons, the progress he's made—especially in terms of confidence—is truly impressive. He brings such a positive attitude to every session, which makes our time together not only productive but also really fun. It's rare to see such strong willingness to learn and grow, and it's genuinely inspiring. I'm having an absolute blast teaching him and can't wait to see how far he'll go with his French!Max's response :
Perfect! Max is super helpful, friendly, and patient. He makes it easy to practice speaking, and was happy to meet me at my level. With his help, I'm sure that I will improve my French, and become more fluent!
- Anna is an incredibly motivated and dedicated student. Having already started learning French in France, she has built a solid foundation and is now focused on becoming more fluent.Max's response :
Beyond her dedication, Anna is a joy to teach. She is engaged, proactive, and always eager to improve. Her positive attitude and lovely personality make it enjoyable. With her commitment and passion for French, she is sure to reach fluency in no time!

Perfect! Max is great! He is patient and enthusiastic. He has motivated me to take on the challenge of learning French.
- I had the pleasure of having my first French lesson with Jon, and I couldn’t be more impressed! He is super motivated and dedicated, willing to embrace those awkward silences that are part of the journey to fluency. His enthusiasm and commitment to learning made the session not only productive but also a lot of fun. It was such a joy to introduce him to the basics of French conversation, and I’m excited to see his progress in the next lesson. Looking forward to continuing this journey together!Max's response :
Perfect! Have only had one lesson, and may have more details as we continue. But so far, I'm very happy to have Max as my French prof. He correctly evaluated my objectives, listened attentively to my spoken French, and corrected me as appropriate (not at all overbearing). I'm really looking forward to our next lesson.
- Teaching Liz is an absolute delight! Having lived in France years ago, she has a wonderful foundation, and it’s such a pleasure to help her rediscover and refine her French skills. I truly enjoy our conversations in French, and her progress is remarkable. She’s already mastering typical French expressions with ease, and I’m excited to see her fluency grow even more. A fantastic student with great potential!Max's response :
Perfect! For real, max is great. I take French lessons normally twice a week, and I’m really learning how to speak. I had zero proficiency before our lessons and max has been able to give me a great understanding of how to put sentences together and comprehend the spoken language so that I can actually converse. Hiiiiggghhhly recommend.
- Aleyse is an outstanding student who brings enthusiasm and motivation to the lessons. Her visual memory is remarkable, allowing her to quickly grasp and retain new vocabulary and concepts. She approaches each session with a positive attitude and a genuine eagerness to learn, making teaching her not only rewarding but also a pleasure.Max's response :
