One Academy, One Goal
Le Bagou was founded on a simple belief: learning French shouldn’t be complicated, slow, or one-size-fits-all. My personalized approach focuses on clear objectives, helping students obtain official certifications such as the TCF, TEF, and TEFAQ for immigration and academic purposes.
About Max
Founder of Le Bagou and your guide to learning French
I am a native French teacher with over 10 years of experience teaching the language. Throughout my career, I have worked with students of different ages, nationalities, and goals—from those preparing to immigrate to Canada to professionals looking to improve their French for work or academic purposes.
My goal has always been the same: to teach French in a clear, practical, and motivating way, placing the student at the center of the learning process.
I believe in a progressive, personalized, and human approach to learning—one that respects your pace and helps you achieve real, measurable results.
Because there is no single way to learn, but there is a way that is right for you.
Our Values
Learn French with purpose
My approach
I don’t believe in generic methods. Every course, every lesson, and every study plan is tailored to the student. I use up-to-date materials, real exam simulations, and effective strategies to master all language skills: comprehension, speaking, vocabulary, and fluency.
My mission
I want you to certify your French level without stress or confusion. My commitment is to give you all the tools, support, and structure you need to progress step by step with confidence and clarity.

Max has been teaching my 12-year-old son for a few months now, and he’s really made French feel much easier and more engaging than my son had thought before. Even his school teacher has noticed the change! My son has become a motivated learner and is actually using the language, which is fantastic!

Max is very helpful, open and his style of teaching makes me believe that I can learn French (again). Very motivating and warm. Setting common goals and aligning on the pace of learning week by week make me feel good and not overwhelmed. I highly recommend him.
