Living in Lyon? See French tutors' reviews & videos

Hello ! I'm French and live in Mâco, (region Bourgogne). I have around 7 years of experience teaching French to all ages and levels of students.

For me, each student is important and I sincerely want to help you achieve your goals: professional, academic , integration in France, etc.

I followed several training courses with the AF to:
- better French teaching as a foreign language
- help newcomers to live in France

In class we will make:
- interactive games
- role play
- conversation
- we will examine videos and audio tracks
- possibly reading and other activities

See you in class to improve your French level !

I help, motivate and encourage anyone to have a better understanding, extend knowledge and improve confidence.
Tuition for Interviews, AP, IB, SAT,..., International French Diploma DELF, DALF, TCF,...and TEFaQ

I've taught in France, Denmark, India, Russia, Hong Kong and Berlin since 2009. I have a Didactic of Languages diploma from La Sorbonne University. I teach anyone from 4 years-old.

Lessons are tailored to each student using different books, music or movies to dispense knowledge of the French language and its culture. I look forward to meeting you!
 

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!

Bonjour !

My name is Céline. Teaching languages online has been my full-time activity for the last 4 years, which ensures punctuality, professionalism, and continuity. 

I am a multifaceted teacher:

> I am casual and I put particular importance on teaching real language, i.e. we will approach all kinds of vocabulary in our classes using authentic material.

> I am business and corporate-oriented as my previous professional experiences in retail and recruitment allow me to help you to build your CV and train you for job interviews.

> I am structured when it comes to grammar. I do use lessons and exercises.

> I have a solid academic background related to languages and experience preparing people for official language exams such as DELF, TCF, etc.

> I organize French immersion programs in France to help my students deepen their knowledge of the culture and feel more confident talking with native speakers.

These are some comments actual students posted on my LinkedIn profile:

Marc, Chief of Strategy and Corp. Development: “Céline is knowledgeable about grammar and language formalities but also has a nice conversation and adapts well to your need as a student, making the class enjoyable and using technology in the right way."

Gozde, Data engineer: “Céline provides lots of learning material, documents, links, and videos. She is responsive and very well organized while it is fun to chat with her about real-world topics."

À bientôt !

Hello and welcome to my page!

My name is Célia, a native French teacher living abroad. I graduated with a master’s degree in French as a Foreign Language [teaching French to foreigners] in 2020 at the University of Paul-Valéry in Montpellier, and I became a certified DELF (A1–B2) corrector in 2022. I grew up in a small village near Montpellier, and I have lived in Northern Ireland, Germany, and Asia.

During my master’s degree, I learned how to create didactic units (lessons), design exams, and work with the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). I have been teaching French both online and on-site—in international schools and at the Alliance Française : from A1 to C2 levels, to learners of all ages: children, teenagers, and adults. Whether you’re preparing for an exam, looking to build your skills, or just want to practice speaking, I’ll be happy to help!

In our first class, I’ll ask you why you want to learn French, what your goals and interests are, what your current level is, and if you want to focus on any particular aspect of the language. This first conversation during our trial lesson helps me get a better idea of your level so I can prepare a plan tailored to your needs. The materials I use are varied: listening exercises from media sources, text comprehension (books, articles, excerpts), grammar practice, and more. All resources are adapted to your level and objectives. Most materials are provided, and I also share a lesson summary and homework after each session （-＾▽＾-).

My teaching method is mainly based on communicative and action-oriented approaches. I aim to involve learners actively in their learning process and help them speak as much French as possible, in a supportive and relaxed atmosphere. I know learning a new language isn’t always easy—mistakes are part of the process! I’m here to guide you, support you, and help you gain confidence step by step.

I’m passionate about languages and culture, and I love exchanging with people from all over the world. I’m sure we’ll find plenty of interesting topics to talk about while building your French skills!

À bientôt!

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.

Do you need help to learn or get your French to a higher level? 

Are you learning French and you need to practice your speaking skills? Would you like to develop or maintain your skills? Are you seeking support in your learning?

My name is Magali. As a native French with a background in coaching and vocational training in communication, I’ve been a full time and private French tutor and instructor since 2015. I have been helping adults and kids from basic to advanced to enhance their level and confidence. Here are the lessons I offer:

• lessons for beginners/false beginners/intermediate: learn in the context of real life with a textbook (pronunciation, reading, role-plays, vocabulary, conversations and grammar essentials)
• conversation (intermediate/advanced): practice and enhance your communication skills on various topics or for a specific purpose
• coaching for exams (DELF, DALF, TEF, TEFAC, FIDE, IB, Canadian Government oral testing, British GCSE), job interviews, oral and written presentations
• coaching for non-native French tutors/instructors : building lessons, explaining certain difficult grammar points/culture, finding ressources, various questions and tips

Patient and creative, I will fit your needs and provide you with a fun and adequate material and environment. My lessons are fun and laid-back, this is an essential key to learn and get out of your comfort zone.

Why am I dedicated to pass on knowledge? Because the more I teach, the more I learn and the better I get, the more I can help others! I'm a lifelong learner and teaching has always been part of my life mission. 

I’ve lived in Canada (West and East coast) for 10 years and I am currently living in Brussels, Belgium. In both countries, I can be immersed in a multicultural environment, which makes me happy and at home. Besides, I love to write, create clay sculptures, paint in watercolour, travel and get into nature as much as I can. 

I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Bonjour! 

Ready to unlock French with a visual method that gets you speaking before you even open a textbook?

I’m Romain, creator of a Revolutionary Visual Method that uses symbols to represent words, tenses, and grammar, with a clear and obvious symbol, helping your brain to memorize and make complex sentences.

This tool is great for people who need to visualize what they’re learning.

Why a visual method?

• Faster recall – Your brain stores images more easily than abstract rules.
• Immediate speaking – Place the symbols side by side and you’re forming real sentences in the very first class guaranteed.
• Engaging – Illustrations make every lesson fun and remarkably effective.
• Natural acquisition – Children learn languages visually, why should adults do it any other way?

Why study with me?

• Proven results – I’ve met countless students who could read and write after years of classes yet still couldn’t speak, my method fixes that.
• 10 years of global experience – I’ve taught in NYC, Shanghai, and Rio.
• Multilingual support – I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Mandarin, so I can clarify tricky points in your native language when needed.
• I have a lawyer degree but I followed my passion for languages and teaching French is my main activity.

For beginners & intermediate learners, the program covers

• Speaking in French from day one
• Rock-solid pronunciation and confidence
• Grammar made painless through visuals

For advanced learners, the program focuses on

• Slang, everyday expressions, their origins, and tricky grammar/tenses
• Expanding vocabulary with terms from science, tech, finance, literature, so you can discuss them with confidence
• Analyzing great songs.
• Perfecting your accent while deepening your understanding of French history, culture, and society

I just need to know your wishes, and I will prepare every time a special lesson for you, in accordance with your interests.

I’ll help building your confidence, did you know what a foreign accent is? It’s a sign of bravery!

À bientôt,

I have a special methodology for you. With more than 5 000 hours of teaching online, it has become clear what works best for you.

Here is an exemple of a methodology, that is adapted for each level and each student;

We study a grammar rule, and a vocabulary theme.

Then we do exercices to practice.

After this, we have an oral conversation and you have the opportunity to use the grammar rules and the vocabulary studied.

In the beginning of each lesson, we review words studied previously.

Besides, I can send homework, if you want to progress faster.

I will be happy to help you so you are welcome to book a lesson now!
