Warm and easy-going teacher to help you gain confidence and boost your French
You find French difficult?
You think you are bad at language?
You need to practice without being judged?
You don't get the spelling, the grammar, or the pronunciation?
But what if I told you that everyone can learn a language! We just need to find the method that suits you best. Therefore, and because I believe all students are unique and have specific needs, goals and learning strategies, my teaching style stands somewhere between an intuitive approach and a student-centered method.
I help you improve and reach your goals through engaging activities, interesting conversations and suitable exercises. With me, you learn a practical and useful French updated with common expressions, useful grammar tips, etc. You acquire speaking and understanding skills (and more…) naturally and without forcing for a better integration in the country.
Conversation is at the core of every lesson, and around it, we add various activities and exercise to help you. We do grammar when you require or want it.
Together we create the class that suits you best.
No boring or stressful tasks. I make sure to keep you engaged and motivated.
I don't care if you do little mistakes, as long as you enjoy learning and keep learning! Therefore, I focus on nourishing your motivation and self-confidence. Have no worries, I won't belittle you or make you feel like you are back to school. This class is yours, and we are partners in this adventure!
About me?
Initially I finished my baccalaureate in Literature (2001) but since then life brought me a bit everywhere. I volunteered for various populations (4 years), and graduated in BSSW (2019). Swiss, I call myself a wanderer because my heart got colored with all the beautiful cultures I have encountered on my exotic journey in Europe, Kenya, and Philippines.
Since 2020, I have been blessed with wonderful students from all around the world: more than 150 students from +30 different nationalities. I love my work and the people I meet on the way!

Native French Tutor online since 2015 with students all over the world !
Bonjour !
My name is Stephanie and I am a native French speaker born and raised in France. I have been teaching French online since 2015 and I have students all over the world. I really take pleasure in doing it. I have lived in Canada for over 10 years and as a self-taught language learner, I easily understand the challenges you have to go through to learn a foreign language.
I focus my lessons on speaking and all my lessons are tailored to your level and needs.
For beginners, I use small dialogues to learn the basics of conversation and through them I explain the vocabulary, grammar and conjugation.
If you need to practice your pronunciation and learn vocabulary I would propose a read-aloud lesson. I will choose a text according to your level or you can bring your own material.
For intermediate and advanced level, I can offer a French conversation lesson. During the conversation you will learn every-day expressions, enhance your fluidity and improve your listening and understanding level.
With a background in human resources, I am good at listening and giving feedback. I can provide clarity, confidence and tailored lessons to help you progress in learning French. Patient and creative I like to teach in a fun way which is one of the keys to success.
During my spare time, I love hiking, painting and studying languages.
So let's meet and have fun learning French together!
À bientôt !

Méloée B
Méloée B
Native French teacher with 10 years of experience, for all levels and ages
Hi! I'm Méloée, I am 28 and I've been teaching French since 2015. I was born and grew up in Bretagne (North-West of France), lived for 7 years in Argentina, 2 years in Marseille (in the South of France) and I live now in Barcelona, Spain. I speak French, Spanish and English, and I am also currently learning Portuguese.
I teach to all levels and ages. Conversation classes, to prepare a trip, an exam, to learn from zero, to practice grammar... we'll see together what are your goals and preferences and I'll tailor my lessons to you.
In my experience the quickest and best way to progress is speaking and practicing a lot, so I always try to include a lot of practice in my lessons.
For example, a class may start with a text or video (more or less difficult depending on your level) to practice comprehension, then I'll ask you some specific questions about the document to see if you understood well and see the new vocabulary. Then I'll ask more generic questions around the theme of the video/text, so you talk about your opinion on the subject, related experiences... This way, you'll speak a lot and it allows me to identify easily if you may need some theoretical exercises on specific points.
I will always build my classes depending on your needs. If you are confortable using specifics learning methods or material, let me know and we will plan something together.
Let me you know if you have any questions, and I hope to see you soon!

Christèle M
French native tutor/teacher with 15 years experience (teenagers and adults)
I am born and raised in France. I live in Paris. I love History, films, economics and travels.
If you like French movies, and would like to discover the French cinema, I am the one. For the students who are interested, I give a movie to watch regularly.
I have a BA in Management from SKEMA Business School and a Master degree in International and European Management from NEOMA Business School.
I used to live in the USA for a while (Miami) and also in the United Arabic Emirates where I started to teach French from A1 to C2. I have been teaching since 2006.
I am dedicated, teach by passion and I am so proud of my students. When I moved to the Middle East, I gave one to one lesson and also group lessons with people from different nationalities and languages : Dutch, German, Arabic, English, Spanish, Chinese... I understand the different struggles depending on your native language. Learning foreign languages myself, I understand even better! I teach also children and I am also also tutoring foreign children living in France who have 3 months to immerse in French classes.
I like teaching French. Confidence is very important. My method is based on 30 min exercices, grammar, conjugation and 30 min conversation based on a short video for the listenning. If you are a beginner, you will wait 3-4 lessons before doing this exercice, but don't worry, you will speak speak anyway. I hope to see you soon.

⭐ Visual Method Focusing on teaching you to SPEAK!
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,

Frequently Asked Questions
How does learning with a tutor via video call differ from learning face-to-face with a French tutor in Lyon?
Sometimes students tell us that they're not sure about learning French online because they think it’ll be completely different to learning face-to-face. But usually when they try it, they find that the experience is almost the same and they often build a solid relationship with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your chosen tutor, you’ll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. The tutor will typically also share learning resources with you (newspaper articles, YouTube, etc.) and you’ll be able to collaborate in real-time using a tool like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper.
What are the best options for receiving French lessons in Lyon?
Whether you live in the city centre or the suburbs of Lyon, there are many options for learning French. You could use an app or a software program if you're looking to pick up basic vocabulary and learn some grammar rules. Alternatively, you could attend group lessons with French tutors in Lyon if you're keen for a social experience. Or, you could take 1-on-1 lessons with a private tutor. This isn't the cheapest way to learn a language but it's possibly the most effective, assuming you have a good tutor. Learning online rather than face-to-face may make private tutors a more affordable option. Check the tutor profiles above to see how much it's likely to cost. Prices vary a lot depending on the tutor, but will usually be cheaper than learning with a French tutor in Lyon, face-to-face.
What's the best way to find a French tutor near me in Lyon?
If you're really not keen on learning with a teacher via video call, LanguaTalk isn't going to be the right choice for you. You can instead search for a tutor on a local service listing website, or put up an advert in your local area. We do encourage you to give it a try learning online though - you've got nothing to lose as you can book a free trial session. Most people find the experience is as good as learning face-to-face, but with the benefit of having access to better tutors at a lower cost.
Do any of the tutors on LanguaTalk also provide French lessons in Lyon?
Tutors on LanguaTalk sometimes provide lessons locally, but most only provide online lessons as it is more convenient and allows them to work from home. In addition, most tutors are not teaching French in Lyon because they're living elsewhere in the world. If you decide to book with a tutor, you should assume that they can only teach you online.
How much do Lyon French tutors charge per hour?
Our research suggests that the average cost for private French lessons in Lyon is somewhere between $25-$35 per hour. As online tutors do not need to travel to you and they often live in countries with a lower cost of living, the hourly cost tends to be significantly lower.
On LanguaTalk, you can find exceptional tutors for 1-on-1 French lessons tailored to your goals and learning preferences. Here’s how to try it for yourself:
1 - Find your ideal tutor by browsing videos, reviews, pricing and availability.
2 - Book a trial. Many tutors offer a 30-minute trial for free; others charge a discounted price.
3 - Take personalised lessons with your new tutor via video call. Or try someone else.
No card is required to book a free trial session. Please only book if you're considering taking lessons. Pricing varies by tutor and you can use the filter to find someone who fits your budget. You can pay one lesson at a time, or buy in bulk for a discount (open a tutor's profile to see their pricing options).
We’re confident you’ll love learning via LanguaTalk. We're trusted by students all over the world because we're transparent. We ask students to rate each lesson, and we display reviews on tutors’ profiles.
99.8% of lesson ratings are 5 stars. Why? Because unlike other platforms, we accept only the top 10% of tutor applications.
To see our full FAQs or get help from our friendly team, click the 'Help' button in the bottom-right. You can also watch students talking about their experiences learning via LanguaTalk below.
New to LanguaTalk? We'll give you a credit for a free trial session. Many, but not all, tutors offer these for free. If they do not, the price will be just 30 percent of their full lesson price, so you can still try a session at minimal cost.
Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to assess whether the tutor is a good fit for you, and get a feel for learning online. The tutor will assess your level and aim to understand your needs and interests so that they can customise any lessons you decide to take. You'll be encouraged to speak in French as much as possible, but of course you can speak in English too!
If, after your trial session, you don't feel that the tutor is quite right for you, you can book a trial with another tutor for just 30 percent of their full lesson price.
The beauty of taking lessons online is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. When you choose a tutor, just check their calendar to make sure that they have available times that fit your schedule. Some tutors have limited availability as they already have a lot of students.
The vast majority of students take 55-minute lessons. But some tutors also provide the option of 30-minute lessons. If they do, you’ll see this noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the ‘Buy Lessons’ button).
55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. In general, we only suggest considering 30-minute lessons if they’re for your child, or you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
Lessons are taught 1-on-1 so that you receive your tutor’s full attention and can make fast progress. Communicating via video call, you’ll be able to talk to your tutor and share learning materials as if you were in the same room.
The tutors vary in terms of their teaching methods, resources, experiences, and personalities. So we suggest you look at several profiles to choose the best tutor for you. Whichever French tutor you pick, they'll aim to tailor the lessons to your individual needs.
