About Claude
My name is Claude Puntel-Sessions, a native French speaker born and raised in the south of France. I have over 20 years of experience teaching French language and culture in both the United States and internationally. I currently teach French at the high school level in Florida and previously served as a French instructor at Oregon State University, where I taught French levels 1–4, advanced conversation, and translation.
I hold a Master’s degree in International and Cross-Cultural Negotiation from Aix-Marseille University and am certified as a French-English translator and world language educator. My background also includes extensive work in cross-cultural training, diplomacy, and program development for universities, organizations, and diverse learners.
I am passionate about creating engaging, meaningful French learning experiences and helping students succeed academically, professionally, and culturally.

My mission as a tutor is to help students gain strong language skills while building confidence and enjoyment in French.
Teaching Method and Techniques
My teaching approach combines clear structure with interactive and immersive practice. I focus on essential skills such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, writing, and conversation. I believe students learn best when they understand the language academically but also practice using it in real-life situations.
I adapt each lesson to the learner’s level and objectives. Whether you need support in a French class, want to improve fluency, or are preparing for a trip to France, I create lessons that are practical, engaging, and personalized.
I also incorporate French culture, authentic resources, and travel-based scenarios to make learning meaningful and enjoyable.
A Typical Lesson Plan
A typical session may include:
A short warm-up conversation or review
Targeted grammar or vocabulary instruction
Speaking practice with guided correction
Listening, reading, or writing activities based on your goals
Real-world situations (ordering food, navigating travel, daily conversations)
A summary and optional practice for continued progress
Each lesson is designed to be clear, motivating, and effective.
What Sets Me Apart
What sets me apart as a tutor is my ability to combine academic expertise with supportive coaching. With experience teaching at the college level, I help students develop strong foundations in grammar and writing while also improving natural communication skills. I create a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable making progress step by step.
Who the Lessons Are For
My lessons are ideal for:
High school and college students
Beginners through advanced learners
Students needing support with grammar, writing, or exams
Adults learning French for travel or personal goals
Learners who want conversational fluency and cultural immersion
Whether you are studying French academically or preparing to travel to France, I will help you reach your goals with confidence and structure.
