french. I would appreciate if someone with good english grammar background
could go over that section and tell me if there is obvious spelling errors
or grammar errors.

"Here are some project" should be "Here are some projects".

"more detailed info" should be "more detailed information" ("info" is too
casual) or better "more information"

On xp.php:
"The need to learn PHP and MySQL came to me this year" sounds a bit
clumsy. Better would be "This year I felt a need to learn PHP and MySQL".

"The possibility are endless" should be "The possibilities are endless"
(plural).

Again, on xp.php, I would suggest the following changes.

"At the beginning of my career I was commissioned for basic work like
corporate logo design, stationary, illustration and page layout. Over years
of experience, I have had the chance to embark on more interesting projects;
press kit, covers, packaging, posters and color separation."

Homepage:
paragraph 3, sentence 1: missing full stop (period)

"Please note that at any time reference can be provided upon request".
- either "a reference can be provided", or preferably "references can be
provided"

Rearranging to "Please note that references can be provided upon request
at any time" sounds more natural to me.

1994 to 1996
"Formation was based on creativity and design". Not quite sure what you
mean here, perhaps "The syllabus was centred [centered - US] around
creativity and design"

"Learning the new technologies used in the media and publicity industry,
without leaving behing old methods of creations"

"behing" should be "behind"

try: "It taught the new technologies used in the media and publicity
industry, without ignoring traditional methods".



"Covering the multiple possibility of projects. From corporate logo
creations, annual repport, book cover, packaging to promotional materials"

perhaps: "The course covered many aspects of art and design including
corporate logo creations, annual reports, book covers, packaging and
promotional materials."
n.b. "repport" should be "report"

Subtle inclusion of the word 'a'.

Well spotted! OT, though of course, as the OP wanted grammar checking, not
spelling! ;-)
