Hi, I’m Joel! 👋 Your new French teacher.

For over 10 years I’ve been traveling around the world (70+ countries), discovering the most effective ways to learn a new language.

That's why I created Natural Leveled Language, a method built around learning French with natural sentences.

As a certified French Alliance teacher, I taught French as a foreign language to children and adults worldwide. I’m here to give you the tools to express yourself in French (in a fun and easy way!) so you can start having conversations with new friends in less than 8 weeks.
