My name is Anthony Diaz.
I am a French native speaker and a certified teacher of French as a Foreign Language with no regional accent. For nearly ten years, I have been teaching French both online and in the classroom, mainly at the Institut Français de Londres (French Institute in London). Since 2021, I have been back in my hometown of Toulon, located in Southern France, where I dedicate myself to teaching French online.

I offer classes on Skype to adults in General French, Conversation, and Pronunciation. My teaching is tailored to your level and objectives and is based on the communicative approach. My aim is to help you develop your communication skills in French, and I am very patient and dedicated to helping you progress.

My experience with Anthony has been amazing; it’s been a huge leap in my French in a short time. In six months, I have gone from not being able to form sentences and not understanding any French when hearing it to writing paragraphs, reading blogs, being able to express myself and speak, understanding the context of French radio programs and discerning distinct words, and expanding my vocabulary.

Anthony is simply the best french teacher, after trying both classes in groups and with other french tutors. He understands the difficulty of learning a new language as an adult, and he gives perfect guidance with clear and concise explanations to grammar, vocabulary, listening skills and conversational french. Classes with Anthony is never boring and they are always my highlight of the week! Thank you Anthony and I am looking forward to our next classes together!

Je recommande Anthony comme professeur à toute personne voulant apprendre le français. Il arrive toujours à l’heure, n’a jamais annulé une leçon, ni décalé l’heure d’une leçon. Il est très organisé et bon en informatique alors tout se passe sans problème en ligne. Non seulement Anthony est expert en langue française, mais aussi très savant sur plein de sujets, et nos discussions me plaisent beaucoup. Il est positif et m’encourage beaucoup tout en corrigeant mes fautes et ma prononciation pour que je puisse améliorer mon français. Anthony est tout simplement une personne géniale et un prof extraordinaire !

I've been learning with Anthony since 2021. As an adult, starting with zero French experience, it was relatively hard with pronunciation at the beginning of my learning. However, his patience and professionalism led to my improvement in every session. Recently, I've received some job invitations thanks to my French skills. I use this skill in my spare time as well. For example, I feel no barrier ordering food in French restaurants and bakeries. I highly recommend Anthony!

Anthony very patient, thorough and easy going. Not to mention very organized! I can tell he challenges the students in a positive way without making them feel discouraged. I always have lots of chances to practice reading, speaking, and listening during class, and the material is very interesting. I definitely hope to continue learning French with him!
Merci!

Great course ; good textbook choice and Anthony is a great, patient and very professional teacher. Before my first lesson, I received lesson materials and clear directions how to prepare. When the lesson began we didn't waste a minute and dived right into learning. I am confident that Anthony can help me learn French.

J’ai la chance d’avoir Anthony comme professeur de français. Anthony semble polyglotte et je pense que cela l’aide à enseigner le français. Il comprend des difficultés qu’une personne comme moi, qui essaye d’apprendre une langue étrangère, a. Il a beaucoup d’enthousiasme et de patience. Ses notes qu’il m’envoie à la fin de chaque cours sont très utiles. Je reconnais l’amélioration de mon niveau de français après avoir commencé mes cours avec Anthony. Il faut que je dise qu’Anthony est le meilleur professeur de français que j’ai trouvé après avoir commencé d’apprendre le français sur Internet. Je le recommande hautement.

我跟着Anthony学习了几个月，我考察了好几个会中文的母语者老师，最终我还是因为Anthony的认真所打动，我不会英文，他会耐心用最快速的方式让我理解词意，以及他也努力表达中文让我更好跟随他，他最大的优点就是非常关注学生的状态，会及时发现你可能有不懂，或者有什么问题想提出，他会立即询问是否有什么不懂或者什么问题想要提出，这其实是很多老师容易忽略的一点，大多数老师不太在乎学生是否跟随他的步伐，而是照本宣科进行他的讲课，这样很难真实了解学生的吸收情况，以及学生实际难处，不能因材施教，Anthony很善于观察到学生的反应，这可以及时选择适合学生的学习方式。他的专业知识也很好，跟着他学习我很放心。

非常专业也很有耐心的老师, 他的中文说得也很溜, 选他没错, 强烈推荐!

Anthony is a wonderful teacher! Always well-prepared, super patient, and very knowledgeable - he's able to answer any random questions I ask in the lessons and summarize the grammar points on top of that so that I get to learn more systematically. So far I've only taken the General French lessons, and I got to read and speak a lot of French in class. The textbook he chose has a lot of interesting topics and articles that are pretty modern and current. I also appreciate that he never rushes to end the class at minute 60 exactly but always makes sure that I have got all my questions answered before the class ends, even though that means he needs to spend some extra time for each class. I've also asked him some questions on Skype about French off class and he responded in detail pretty quickly.

Anthony was not my first French teacher but he's definitely my last French teacher, who offered me essential assistance in my French learning and TCF preparation. His lessons are systematic and personalized. It was him who taught me how to compose an academic essay in French and how to organize my ideas and supporting facts in an French oral test. He is also a super encouraging teacher. He helped me to succeed in TCF test. Without him, I wouldn't have nailed the exam in my first try.
