Bonjour! Whether you are a relatively new French speaker, someone looking to polish their skills or simply want to opportunity to speak French, I’m excited to meet you.
What do I offer? I offer French conversations and classes to improve speaking skills, pronunciation and vocabulary so that students become comfortable with the language and have fluid conversations with real people. You won’t have to say ‘comme ci comme ça’ ever again!
I aim to improve your comprehension and practice of the language, as I believe this is the best way to learn. To steer our conversations, I will consider your goals and craft lesson content to meet your needs, levels and objectives; these are aspects we will define together during our trial lesson. Although I do not set homework (unless you would like some of course!), I love to keep in contact with my students via email and often share tailored French content such as videos, podcasts and songs.
My teaching style? My teaching style tends to be informal yet informative, as I want my students to have fun while learning more about French life and how natives speak French in their daily lives. If you would prefer a more formal approach, I’m happy to adapt our sessions to meet your needs. I use the silent method for correcting mistakes, allowing you to speak without worry. At the end of the discussion, I will inform you of the mistakes and how to correct them.
A little about me. I’m a native French speaker from Northern France; however, my friends describe me as a ‘woman with a suitcase’ because I’m always on the move! I have always had a love for language and culture, and I am passionate about sharing my knowledge of the French language with my students. I have a master’s degree in law and currently writing a publication entitled ‘Les pères dans l'ombre du droit’, which is set to be published later this year.

Amandine was the best choice for me to hone my French for an upcoming trip! Each lesson was fun, practical, and met my needs as we practiced a number of real life scenarios. My brain was tested and stretched during the lessons making it easy to identify my key weak areas to strengthen, practice, and feel more confident in a real life situation. Amandine showed up for each lesson genuinely smiling broadly, pleasant, and ready to practice. She created a number of dialogues and patiently waited for my brain to process, i.e. “catch up” before I replied. She shared a number of phrases / words used by native speakers to use on a daily basis. Everything we covered was spot on; i.e. practical for my conversation needs in navigating a multitude of conversations. Merci beaucoup ! Patty, Pittsburgh, PA

Amandine makes me feel so at ease with a language that usually gives me a lot of anxiety. It’s invaluable to have a tutor with whom you feel comfortable making mistakes. Better yet, we always find some idiosyncratic topic to dive into that makes the time fly by.
