About Me

Salut, I'm Malcolm, your French coach and guide here at FrenchwithCousteaux. You should know a few things about me and how I can help you achieve your language goals.

I was born in New York City, but raised in Brooklyn & a small town called Blaye, in the southwest region of France. My dad sent me to spend my youth with my French family, where I became fully immersed in the language and culture.


By age 15 I was fluent and had taught myself how to read and write. I took up teaching French in 2020 after earning my degree in digital marketing and started an Instagram account dedicated to teaching. More recently, as an official Babbel Live teacher.

I saw so many frustrated English-speaking peers struggle with learning French, so I created an engaging and fun space for those who wanted to begin, improve, and better understand the language.

Since then, I've helped thousands of people online feel confident about speaking and understanding from my unique cultural perspective.

Hope you come along!
