Vincent wasn't supposed to be a French teacher. He was a construction engineer who hated French at school, until years of traveling revealed he had a talent for teaching the language like an equation to be solved. In this episode of Connected By Language, the founder of French School TV explains how he quit his job at the French Institute in December 2019, three months before Covid put the whole world on their phones, and turned that gamble into a language school with 3+ million followers across social media.
He shares the philosophy that shaped it all: giving away complete courses for free because the more you give, the more you receive, building a team of teachers who are encouraged to propose anything, and running every decision through one simple filter, doing the opposite of what the worst manager he ever had would have done. A conversation for anyone dreaming of turning language teaching into something bigger than themselves.
