Bonjour! 

With a Master's in French as a Foreign Language (FLE), I am deeply passionate about language learning and teaching my native tongue—French!

I am well-versed in the DELF A1-B2 exams and offer lessons focused on pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar for casual learners. I have taught French online and in person to learners of all ages. I tailor my lessons to each student's level and goals. My priority is to help you gain confidence and make tangible progress in French.

For the trial lesson

• I will first share a Google Docs document with you. This will allow you to access lesson plans in advance and add your own notes throughout our sessions.
• In the first few minutes, I’ll ask you to introduce yourself and share your expectations for our lessons.
• We will start with simple exercises to assess your comfort level with grammar, reading, listening, and speaking.

If your main focus is speaking, we will engage in various speaking exercises to help you gain confidence in the language. If you're preparing for the DELF exams or any school/university assessments, we will target the areas you feel need the most improvement. And if you're here to learn French in a fun and relaxed way, we can explore any themes or topics that interest you.

I hope to see you very soon! 😊

What do I offer? I help you go from learning French to actually using it in real conversations. My lessons focus on speaking naturally, discovering the expressions French people really use and understanding the little cultural details that make the language come alive. Whether you want to feel more confident speaking, prepare for a trip, or simply enjoy conversations in French, I’ll help you make progress in a relaxed and supportive environment.

My teaching style? My lessons are conversation-based, interactive and adapted to your goals. I want you to feel comfortable speaking, making mistakes and expressing yourself. While we talk, I’ll help you find more natural ways to say things and explain the differences between “textbook French” and the French you hear in everyday life. I can also share French content such as videos, podcasts and songs to help you stay connected with the language outside our sessions.

A little about me. Bonjour ! I’m a native French speaker from Northern France. I’ve always been curious about languages, travelling and the small cultural differences that make each country unique. I’m often called the “woman with a suitcase” because discovering new places and ways of life has always been a big part of who I am. As someone who is learning other languages myself, I understand the challenges of searching for words, making mistakes and slowly building confidence. This curiosity also led me to create French immersion stays in France, where participants can experience the language in real-life situations while discovering French culture, food and traditions. For me, learning a language is not just about grammar and vocabulary. It’s about connecting with people, sharing your ideas and feeling comfortable being yourself in another language.

I’d love to help you discover that side of French!

I've been teaching French online since 2016, previously having worked developing the skills of young people, adults and foreigners of all levels.

In my opinion, a teacher’s enthusiasm, patience, humour and understanding of their students’ needs are key to help a student learn efficiently, and for the student to enjoy lessons which is important for learning,

I adapt my teaching to your needs which will naturally vary according to your personnel situation, from beginner to advanced level, as a teenager at school or student, or as a mature learner. Choosing topics which interest you is very important.

Your needs may vary such as:

- learning the French language, discovering French culture, history or current affairs.

- seeking conversational French to keep up your level. If you have an intermediate level or above, we can speak about any topic that interests you.

- wanting to improve or refresh your French before visiting France or working in a French speaking country. De

- wishing to improve your French for professional use.

- looking to pass French proficiency exams such as DELF (A2 to B2) and DALF (C1 to C2).

Teaching method:

I use a variety of tools and aids such as books for grammar and vocabulary, specific books for exams such as DELF, press articles, podcasts and literature.

We start with a small test to establish your level and then progress to discussion, reading and writing exercices. I can send you material according to your needs.

About me:

My interests include travel especially in Europe. I spend my time between Provence and Northern Ireland ; nature, animals, and the environment. I loved horse riding ; sustainability ; history, architecture and philosophy ; geopolitics ; food and especially French and Asian food.

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 ! 

Bonjour! I’m Laurent, a French engineer near Paris with 9+ years of teaching experience. **I specialize in DELF, TCF and TEF exam prep (A1-B2)** and love helping beginners and all learners build confidence through lively conversations. 

As a polyglot (French, English, Portuguese, Creole), I know language struggles firsthand—let’s tackle them together! 

My lessons blend science, history, culture, music, cinema and travel to make French *fun*. 

Ready to start? Check my schedule and *parlons français*!

Bonjour, c'est Caroline.

My teaching approach is primarily focused on oral practice. I firmly believe that communication is the key to mastering a language, which is why my lessons are interactive and based on lively, real-life exchanges. Whether through discussions, role-playing, or real-world simulations, I emphasize speaking skills to help you gain fluency and confidence. I have worked with adults, teenagers, and children, adjusting my methods to suit each individual. Teaching younger learners has allowed me to develop fun and creative techniques to make learning French both enjoyable and motivating. 

As an expatriate myself, I understand the challenges of learning a language in an international environment, which allows me to tailor my lessons to the specific needs of each student. Whether you are preparing for an exam, improving your French for work or travel, or simply discovering the French language and culture, I will be there to support and guide you to make quick and effective progress.

Bonjour!

I’m Charlotte, originally from Geneva, Switzerland, and I’ve been teaching French online since 2018.Over the past six years, I’ve delivered more than 4,000 lessons to students around the world — from complete beginners to advanced speakers refining their fluency. Most of my students are adults who want to go beyond textbook French and feel truly comfortable speaking in real-life situations.

My lessons are structured, thoughtful, and fully adapted to your goals. Whether you’re preparing to move abroad, improve your professional communication, travel with ease, or simply speak more naturally in everyday conversations, we’ll build a clear and realistic path together.

I combine grammar, conversation, and pronunciation work in a way that feels practical and connected to real usage. You’ll understand how the language works — not just memorize rules — and you’ll leave each lesson with clear progress and useful tools you can apply immediately.

I’m fluent in English and Spanish, which allows me to explain complex points clearly and adjust to different learning styles. Having lived and worked internationally myself, I understand the challenges of functioning in another language — and I create a supportive space where you can practice without pressure.

My goal is simple: to help you move from understanding French to speaking it confidently and naturally.

Looking forward to working with you,

Charlotte

Let's set your goal and start a work plan! There are many reasons to learn French, such as:

• Passing exams such as the DELF, TEF or DFP.
• Travelling or living in a French-speaking country
• Work requirements and career growth

I can help with all of the above, and more.

It is always a pleasure to be able to have a fluent conversation (or a heated debate) with students who sometimes started as total beginners and to see them acing their exams.

As for the method, I use trusted manuals and activity books because I believe in structure, but also material that suits your interests and tastes - from literature to popular songs, news to scientific articles, series, and movies (subtitled or not), online resources and grammar exercises. Resources are shared on a Slack group where lessons are summarized, and tasks listed. I can also tailor-make lessons for a specific objective like a job interview or a power point presentation.

Teaching French has been my main activity for several years both privately and at the Alliance Française. I am outgoing and chatty, but homework is not optional (at least if you want to improve fast!).

Do not hesitate to book a trial session.

See you soon!
