ABOUT ME
MICHEL CIOFFI
My name is Michel, a native French speaker and an experienced language trainer specializing in audiovisual teaching methods.
After studying at the University of Paris – Faculty of Law, I trained in innovative approaches to language teaching, with a strong focus on learning through images, video, and real-life situations.
I have taught French to translators and interpreters, parliamentary interpreters, and students in language-focused secondary schools, helping learners develop practical, confident communication skills.
In the United States, I founded and led the audiovisual production department of the world’s largest language school group at the time, owned by the Macmillan Publishing Group. I later became a member of the American Film Institute.
I have created and published over 20 professional video-based language courses in French and English, used by learners worldwide. I have also produced documentaries, corporate films, and reports, combining linguistic precision with strong visual storytelling.
In addition to my courses, I work one-on-one with doctors, judges, business professionals, journalists, and university students who require fast and effective results in French for professional or academic purposes.
