I wasn’t always a French tutor. I have been working with and for various companies for over 15 years.
I am passionate about languages since my youngest years. During my long stays abroad, I used to teach my roommates and friends. A few years ago, I decided to teach my native language in a more formal way. I started on a volunteering basis, teaching French to migrants.
After a while, I felt the need to improve my mastery of French teaching. That’s the reason why I decided to get a certification with the Cavilam Alliance Française of Vichy. There, I was trained according to the action-oriented approach recommended by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
As a certified teacher, I am able to provide you with customised, dynamic, playful lessons based on your individual needs. My goal is also to help you to learn how to learn with pleasure! Whatever your level or goals are, we will build up, together, the best learning plan for yourself.
A bientôt !

It was very helpful to hear an audio interview with native French speakers speaking at a normal pace and Annabelle would play sections over for me and ask me questions about what I heard—a great way to improve my listening comprehension !

Annabelle is a very encouraging teacher, she chooses interesting topics, videos and articles so you are engaged while learning at the same time!

Annabelle includes current events which I really like and she lets me talk, mistakes and all. Then afterwards, she talks about some of the grammar she noticed I needed help with and she writes all the words and phrases in the chat for me, which she sends me on a sheet after the lesson. Then I can look up the words I didn't know and write the definitions to study or practice with. I learn really well with the teaching strategies she uses and I feel like i'm making progress with my speaking!

Annabelle always comes up with current topics, today we discussed an engaging magazine article about generation Z. I'm always surprised at how much I talk because I don't feel that confident speaking yet, but Annabelle makes me feel at ease so I don't mind making mistakes. I actually learn a lot from the mistakes I make and then I know what I really need more work on. It's also helpful to have the exercises she provides online so that I can practice during the week!
