👋🏻 Hello and welcome!

I am a native French teacher, multi-certified by the Alliance Française and a registered professional training provider. I am delighted to support my students in their life projects, whether it is obtaining a diploma for a visa, preparing for a trip abroad, or becoming more comfortable communicating with family, friends, and colleagues.

As a Board Member of the Amis du Château de Pau, I am happy to share my passion for French history, culture, and heritage.

My classes are exclusively for adults. To help you reach your goals, I offer three specific learning paths:

📘 Beginners: The Fundamentals (A1-A2)

 A structured and progressive program to build a solid foundation: phonetics, grammar, listening and reading comprehension, as well as speaking and writing skills.

🗣️ Intermediate & Advanced: Fluency and Refinement (B1-C2) 

Thematic conversations (current events, society, history, arts), grammar refinement, and vocabulary enrichment.

🎓 Exam Preparation: Aim for Success 

Targeted coaching to obtain your official certification: DELF (A1 to C2), TEF, and TCF.

💬 Book a trial lesson and let's start progressing together! 🚀

📌 A few rules to ensure a smooth learning experience:
✅ Personal work is essential. Too many students rely solely on the teacher and remain passive. You don’t need to study intensively, but consistently: 5 to 15 minutes per day is enough to make progress.
✅ To create an effective and enjoyable learning environment, please show respect, discipline, punctuality, and regular attendance.
✅ Please check my schedule carefully. My timetable can be busy, and some slots fill up quickly.
✅ In case of cancellation or changes, please follow the platform rules. Late cancellations directly impact my activity.
✅ Finally, if the learning conditions are not met, I reserve the right to end our lessons. My goal is not to waste time, energy, or resources, but to provide serious and effective support.

Bonjour! Are you ready to elevate your French skills, refine your pronunciation, or enjoy meaningful conversations in French?

What do I offer? I provide tailored French conversations and classes to help you improve your speaking skills, pronunciation, and vocabulary. My goal is to make you feel at ease with the language and able to engage in natural conversations with native speakers. With my guidance, you’ll gain confidence to express yourself authentically in French.

During our trial session, we’ll outline your goals, level, and aspirations. I’ll then craft personalised lessons to meet your needs. I don’t assign homework unless requested, but I share curated French content, videos, podcasts, songs and more to complement our sessions and immerse you further in the language.

My teaching style? Relaxed yet effective, blending cultural insights with practical language skills. We’ll explore how French is spoken in daily life. I correct mistakes using the "silent method," so you can speak freely. Feedback and tips are provided after each session. I can adapt to a more formal or structured approach if you prefer.

A little about me. I’m a native French speaker from Northern France, nicknamed “woman with a suitcase” for my love of travel. I’ve been passionately teaching French for three years. Seeing my students achieve their goals and grow confident inspires me.

I also offer French immersion stays in France, giving students a unique chance to practice the language in real-life situations while experiencing French culture, cuisine and traditions. It is an unforgettable way to accelerate learning.

As someone learning two other languages, I know the joys and challenges of mastering a new language. This motivates me to create lessons that are practical, engaging and focused on real progress.

Native French teacher with 10 years experience online and many more on one to one classes, I know that the key of success for learning a language is the quality of the relationship between the student and the tutor. My duty is to understand the way you learn and adapt my teaching to your skills....regular work and motivation are the other elements ;-)  EVERYBODY CAN LEARN...a little bit of work, intuition and regular lessons ! 

I am from the south-west of France.. I really like my native language and I am deeply interested in the history of France, its literature, culture, cuisine...and I am also very international as I lived abroad many years, and enjoyed it so much ! I have traveled a lot, met a lot of people and learned different languages such as English, Spanish & Bulgarian...so I've been a learner all my life. I understand the learning mechanisms.

I've also helped a lot of people in their study of French : homework, conversations, pronunciation, French for business, pleasure, practical life, personal projects...thus, I teach different levels (beginners to advanced) and different abilities.

I will adapt to your level and your needs. We will choose the topics together. It could vary from very practical conversations to cultural topics : music, books, photography (my hobby), trips, cinema, sport, etc.. Sometimes, we will go through some vocabulary and grammar rules...your French will improve quickly !

The main idea is that you and I are having a great time together, having fun seeing your improvements lesson after lesson :-) Hope to meet you soon

ENGLISH

Bonjour !

My name is Marina. I have been a French teacher for five years. I taught in Ireland, England, Spain, and Ecuador, with students of all ages and levels, and in settings both informal and formal. I'm new to LanguaTalk but I've been teaching French online for a year as well.

I offer different forms of teaching, depending on your level and preferred learning methods. For example, a beginner who needs structure might benefit from lessons from a written method that mixes grammar, vocabulary, and listening, speaking, reading and writing exercises, while a more advanced student would prefer us to focus on conversation.

Don't hesitate to book a trial session with me so we can get to know each other!

ESPAÑOL

Bonjour !

Me llamo Marina. Soy profesora de francés desde hace cinco años. Enseñé en Irlanda, Inglaterra, España y Ecuador, con estudiantes de todas las edades y niveles, y en entornos formales e informales. Soy nueva en LanguaTalk, pero también llevo un año enseñando francés en línea.

Ofrezco diferentes formas de enseñanza, según tu nivel y tus métodos de aprendizaje favoritos. Por ejemplo, un principiante que necesita estructura podría beneficiarse de lecciones gracias a un método escrito que combina gramática, vocabulario y ejercicios de comprensión y expresión escrita y oral, mientras que un estudiante más avanzado preferiría que nos concentremos en la discusión.

No dudes en reservar una lección conmigo.

IMPORTANT: I currently do not teach children — thank you for your understanding! :)

A few years ago, when I was in bed at night and almost ready to sleep, I used to ask myself this question : "Why would people want to learn French? Are they crazy?"

Well... Are you? 

It definitely takes guts for someone to take the obscure path of French learning, especially when you know that almost no francophone can speak French perfectly. And it is this courageous desire detected in French learners that made me want to start teaching this language three years ago. In fact, besides the syntactic complexity of this language (which, by the way, is most likely to be a cliché), French is a very poetic language, as it allows countless accesses to figurative speeches (so if you tend to be a little sarcastic at times, this might be perfect for you). Plus, French is cool and sounds fancy too, so... 😗 

Whether you plan to 

• settle in France
• pass an exam
• learn French just for the sheer pleasure of it

I would be very happy to help you achieve your goals and share my knowledge and advices with you as best I can. Please do book a 30 minute trial session with me to discuss your needs!

About me : My name is Clarysse. I am 22 years old, I've been teaching Latin and French for the past two years and I am very passionate about everything I do. If I had to describe myself in three words as a tutor, I would say funny, methodical and adaptable. 

Bonjour everyone ! 

My name is Oana Maria and I am a professional language teacher and a Linguist graduated at the University of Bordeaux , France. I am currently living in North Norway. I came here to take a second master on Sami language and culture, and recently I have been working in an alternative school with kids. 

I am an eternal language learner and a nomad at heart. I love getting to know new places, living in different countries and cultures and never stop learning. I consider learning a language as buying a new pair of shoes that will lead you to a new culture, experience and life style. And definitely, open up your horizons. 

I am currently developing my own methodology to teach languages through theater and arts, therefore my lessons are full of games, dialogues and dramaturgical exercices to make you feel comfortable using the language but also creative and dynamic and ready to use the language in everyday situation. 

I am looking forward to meeting you and walk together the fun, exciting and sometimes challenging path of learning a new language. I am here to guide you ! Let's go ! 

Hi, my name is Farid. Teaching French is something I really enjoy, especially when I witness my students progressing in the language and towards their goals.

I have been teaching French for more than 5 years now.  My students are of all ages and from all backgrounds.  

I helped many of them become fluent. Many of them have also passed their exams under my guidance.

My lessons are always customized to meet the needs of the students. I am using workbooks, fun and interactive materials. I have passed a Level 7 Diploma in Teaching skills. I also have a small YouTube channel with many French lessons and tests.

 In 2010, I left my birth country France to move to the United Kingdom. I am currently in Algeria to (re)discover my parent's country. I love travelling and discovering new cultures and languages. I also speak a little Arabic.

Book now a trial with me to set the goals you want to achieve. As a native French speaker, I can help you improve your pronunciation as well as your grammar. I lived in the UK for 11 years which makes me fully bilingual. With a bit of motivation and a hint of work, your French will upgrade in no time!
