I’m Gurvan, a native French translator from France and an experienced online French teacher.
A Native French Translator from France
I’m a native French speaker from France, providing English and Russian to French translation and French proofreading services since 2021.
I focus on producing clear, accurate and natural French that reads fluently for a French-speaking audience. My goal is not simply to translate words, but to make sure your message sounds natural while preserving its original meaning, tone and purpose.

My Background in French Teaching
I have been teaching French online since 2014, mainly working with children, beginners and international students. I also run “French Teachers”, my online French school, where I offer online French lessons for children and adults.
My Experience
Over the years, I’ve developed experience in translation, French teaching, writing and website creation.

I have been providing written translation services since 2021, including websites, résumés, cover letters and other written content.
French Teacher Since 2014
I have been providing online French lessons for kids and beginners since 2014.
Author & French Content Creator
I’ve written a French grammar book for Russian speakers and created a French-learning website for Russian-speaking beginners.
Webmaster & Website Creator
I also create and manage websites, giving me practical experience with web content, structure — particularly useful when translating websites.
My Approach to Translation
I believe that a good translation should not sound like a translation.
The final text should read naturally to a French-speaking audience while remaining faithful to the original message.
For every project, I pay attention to:
- Meaning – preserving the message of the original text
- Grammar – ensuring correct and natural French
- Vocabulary – choosing the right words for the context
- Tone – maintaining the appropriate level of formality and style
- Fluency – making the final text easy and natural to read
- Audience – adapting the language to the intended readers
Translation & Proofreading
I provide English and Russian to French translation as well as French proofreading and editing.
Whether you need a website translated, a CV or cover letter adapted into French, or an existing French translation checked by a native speaker, I aim to provide a polished and natural final text.
