Bonjour, I'm Ben "Tins" Tinsley
I've spent nearly two decades helping people grow in language through approaches that prioritize understanding, communication, and joy.
I've taught French in public schools, private schools, online, and through workshops across North and South America.
My goal is simple:
To help you grow your French in a way that feels natural, meaningful, and sustainable.
"Ben's attention to our needs and just the natural flow of conversation kept me so engaged. I really wanted to continue being a part of it and soaking up as much as I could. I loved the schedule of class that was predictable but still engaging and interesting. Again, it made language tangible and accessible to me."
"I loved it - low pressure, lots of laughs. I genuinely looked forward to it every week and was so bummed if/when I couldn't be there live."
"Relentless positive regard for the students with a focus on communication and conversation! Ben laughs a lot and it is genuine. No acting here!"
