ABOUT
Mehdi, teacher of French as a foreign language and creator of ClavieFrench
I created ClavieFrench to help learners understand French, practise it and use it more independently.
Why I created ClavieFrench
In lessons, the same obstacles appear among learners with very different backgrounds.
- 01
Knowing a rule without being able to use it while speaking.
- 02
Knowing vocabulary but struggling to build sentences.
- 03
Repeating the same mistakes despite understanding the explanations.
- 04
Not knowing what to work on first or how to practise regularly.
ClavieFrench turns the methods used in lessons into structured learning paths for independent study.
MY BACKGROUND
Teaching French as a foreign language since 2021
I mainly teach one-to-one lessons online and create all ClavieFrench learning resources.
I work mostly with adults at A2 to B2 level, as well as students, professionals and candidates preparing for the TCF, TEF, DELF or DALF. They come from many countries, and the same explanation does not work for everyone.
My lessons cover grammar, sentence building, conversation, pronunciation, comprehension, expression, vocabulary, professional French and exam preparation.
Literature, the history of the language, pronunciation and etymology also inform my teaching — without turning every lesson into a lecture on the seventeenth century, I promise.

What learners say
“After trying six different French teachers, I can honestly say that Mehdi is the best teacher I've learned with. His teaching method is clear, structured, and very effective. He explains grammar in a simple way, gives practical strategies for the TCF Canada exam, and always corrects my mistakes patiently. Every lesson is motivating, and I can clearly see my progress.”
“Mehdi is the best French teacher you could ask for! I've been taking lessons for around two years and he has immensely helped me improve my speaking and comprehension. His energy and enthusiasm for teaching is infectious and his lessons feel comfortable and natural while encouraging me to learn outside of my comfort zone.”
“Mehdi is a highly skilled and supportive teacher. He explains concepts clearly and methodically, making them easier to understand. His enthusiasm for the French language makes every lesson engaging and motivating. An excellent learning experience!”
“It's been quite a while since I started my French journey with Mehdi, and I can confidently say that my French has massively improved under his guidance. His friendliness and encouraging approach, combined with his professionalism, create a welcoming atmosphere that is perfect for growth and confidence-building. […] It's worth mentioning his extensive list of resources, which allows him to tailor his lessons to fit your specific needs and goals.”
“Mehdi is an excellent teacher who makes every lesson fun. My interest in learning French waxes and wanes, often depending on how busy I am in other parts of my life. But the weekly conversations with Mehdi have remained constant for over two years now. It is the one thing that keeps me motivated and I plan to continue working with him indefinitely.”
“I've been doing French conversational practice with Mehdi for almost 2 years. He's great at asking questions, forcing me to become more facile with shortening the interval between thinking and speaking. He's got a great sense of humor, he's patient, and he can hold forth on many different topics. Just an overall great guy and talented teacher!”
