Bonjour,
I started tutoring my fellow students when I was an undergrad at UC Berkeley.
Since I moved to LA, I've helped middle school, high school and college students.
I've tutored all levels, from beginners to PhD students!
I can help your kids with homework, test prep, grammar, pronunciation, idioms and conversation.
And, I can help YOU if you're getting ready for a trip to France!
I'm equally comfortable teaching online, or in person if you live in the Los Angeles/Santa Monica areas.
Whatever your goal is, getting an A in a test, or aiming at fluency, I'll be happy to assist you!
À bientôt!

I have been working with Sylvan for the past three years and I give him my highest recommendation as a French tutor.
In addition to more basic grammar exercises and conversation, Sylvan has also been willing to help with practicing translation at a higher academic level.
Sylvan has also been remarkably flexible with his scheduling, allowing for cancellations as well as pre-paid ZOOM sessions.My son has been taking lessons from Sylvan for several years now. Sylvan is a great teacher who works to make each lesson fun and engaging for the student…including talking soccer which my son is obsessed with. I would definitely recommend Sylvan for novices to advanced students
It has been several years since I took formal French classes at school. Working with Sylvan for the last 7 years has helped me regain my confidence and ability to read, write and converse in French.
Sylvan is knowledgeable, skilled at teaching simple or more complex subjects, and conducts himself in a professional manner.
He makes learning fun and easy!
I highly recommend Sylvan to anyone who wants to learn French or improve upon their current knowledge of the language.Not only did Sylvan teach me and my girls French for almost a decade, but he also taught them both piano. Sylvan is patient and sweet and he has become a forever honorary member of our family. In addition, he has also occasionally babysat for them when they were younger. Completely reliable and trustworthy.
I can't say enough good things about Sylvan! He's been teaching my 3 kids who ranged from complete novice to nearly fluent since 2021. He makes the lessons fun and joins my zany learners where their imaginations lead them to compose some of the silliest French sentences I've ever read. :D In addition to French, Sylvan has also been teaching my children piano. His instruction goes beyond the lessons I had as a child, and includes finger technique, hand posture, and music theory. Our lives have been enriched thanks to Sylvan and I'm so grateful for all that he's taught my children. They have progressed quickly even as Sylvan thoroughly covers the basics so I feel like they have a strong foundation upon which to keep building!
My daughter, has been studying with Sylvan for about 4 years. I must say he not only helps her learn French, but when she spent over a month in France, she was able to be conversational! He has helped my daughter with her French tests and presentations. He's the reason she's in AP French. I can't say enough good things about Sylvan as a person and teacher. What a great find!! Thank you Sylvan!
