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.

I am having trouble speaking French and hired Isabelle to help me. Isabelle is a very kind, knowledgeable and a fun tutor. She also helps with concepts I don't understand in French class and has a great ability to explain things. Her english is very good and I appreciate that! I would not hesitate to recommend Isabelle to anyone struggling with French!

Having one person to talk to without interruption from other classmates, allows one to really listen, which results in better understanding and communication. I value these sessions and have surprised myself with how much I am retaining by having a real conversation. Isabelle leads the conversation with leading questions that allows me to express myself, which is something one cannot receive from formal classes with others in the class. Language is about communication and my one to one sessions make me feel good about myself.
