Get fluent with one of our experienced teachers!
Are you already using one of our Anki decks but feeling the gap in speaking practice? Do you wish to not only recognize words but also actively engage with them in real conversations? While our Anki decks build a strong foundation in vocabulary and language structure, mastering a language truly comes from using it. Enter our 1-on-1 language lessons, the perfect complement to your flashcard learning.
Imagine engaging in real conversations with native speakers, where you can practice pronunciation, grasp everyday expressions, and receive instant feedback. Our teachers, expertly familiar with our Anki decks and the courses they are based upon, will craft your lessons to seamlessly integrate with your learning material, while also addressing your individual learning needs. These lessons elevate your speaking, listening, and comprehension skills, transforming theoretical knowledge into real-world fluency. Join us on this comprehensive learning journey, and don’t just learn the language – live it, embrace it, and make it inherently yours.

About Nico
Nico from France
Bonjour à toutes et à tous, enchanté !
Je m’appelle Nico, and I can’t wait to get to know you.
I am very excited to be part of the Languages on Fire team, and I will help you learn and upgrade your French in a very organic way. My 10+ year experience in teaching French in England, Spain and Italy has granted me a level of empathy and efficiency that allows me to make students feel at home, relaxed, as well as very satisfied with the progress they are making.
My approach is simple: my main objective is to make students able to completely relax and surrender to the notion that they will have to make mistakes if they really want to learn anything. This entails developing a friendly relationship to making mistakes, where they will find the space to express themselves freely without being scared of judgment. With a mix of listening comprehension, reading and lots of speaking, they will use different mindfulness-related tools to detach themselves from their ever-chatting mind and connect to their intuition. Indeed, we, as babbling primates, are made to make sense of the world using our intuition first, rather than through the highly consuming processes of the mind. Just ask yourself: How come young children learn so quickly, unlike adults? The answer is simple: they are fully connected to their intuition and have not yet fallen into the trap of trying to grasp concepts through thinking exclusively. The good news for us adults is, we can learn to reprogram ourselves. And this is exactly what I help students do.
A little about me: I come from a multi-ethnic family, where we used to speak both French and Spanish at home. The dynamics of languages were thus easy for me to pick up, which spurred me to study more about them and eventually graduate in both programming and foreign languages. I got lucky enough to have two Erasmus experiences during which I started my career as a language teacher, enabling me to work in language schools such as Wall Street English, for international companies such as Gucci, and also to countless private students. Teaching languages is not all I do for a living: I am a Shiatsu practitioner; I help people with health-related unbalances, and I accompany them throughout their healing process.
During my free time, I love indulging in playing music, drinking good wine, making my friends laugh and hiking in the Italian Alps with Polpetta, my cheeky Australian Shepherd.
Thanks for reading, feel free to book a free lesson with me so I’ll get to know you too!
À très bientôt, j’espère.
Nico

Frequently Asked Questions
Why shouldn’t I choose another platform for private lessons?
At Languages on Fire, we aim for excellence in language education. We carefully select our teachers ensure you’ll get the most out of our lessons. Additionally, teachers on other platforms may not be familiar with LoF materials. They will likely use a different approach and you won’t have Anki flahscards available for what they teach. Without an integrated learning experience, your progress may be slowed down.
