French Conversation & Professional Communication with a Native Speaker
From 57 C$ /h
Would you like to feel more confident speaking French, prepare for a language exam, or use French in your academic or professional life?
I'm a native French speaker with six years of experience teaching French to learners of different ages and proficiency levels. Between 2019 and 2025, I worked with students pursuing a variety of goals, from improving their conversational skills to preparing for B2 certification, gaining admission to study programmes in France, and finding employment there.
Together we can work on:
- Conversation and fluency: wo you understand French but find it difficult to speak spontaneously? We can practise everyday conversations, discuss topics that interest you, and work on expressing yourself more naturally and confidently.
- French for work and university: whether you need to write formal emails, contact a professor, prepare for a job interview, or communicate with colleagues, we can work on the language, tone, and expressions appropriate to each situation.
- Grammar and pronunciation: we can tackle the areas you find most challenging and work through examples that help you understand how French works in practice.
- Exam preparation: If you're preparing for a French language exam, including B2 certification, we can work towards your specific objectives and identify the areas where you need the most support.
Over time, I've learned that everyone approaches a language differently. That's why I like to adapt my lessons to your needs, interests, and objectives, while making the learning process engaging and practical. Learning a language becomes much more engaging when it connects with your interests and everyday life. Alongside more structured exercises, I like to use authentic materials such as films, songs, articles, and other contemporary media to explore how French is actually used.
Tell me a little about your level and what you'd like to achieve, and we can work out an approach that suits you! Depending on your goals, we might practise a conversation, discuss a film, work through a grammar point, prepare a formal email, or focus on a specific exam task. I'll adapt our lessons and exercises to your level and interests, so you can make progress without losing sight of what motivates you to learn.
Lessons are available online and in person in Groningen, either in a café, at the forum, or on campus!

Block period coming up?? If you are struggling to understand a difficult philosophical text, organise your ideas for an essay, or express a complex argument clearly: I am happy to help!
I am a PhD Candidate in Political Philosophy, and I enjoy working through complex ideas, understanding how arguments fit together, and finding ways to express them clearly. If you want to feel more confident in your university work and need one-on-one guidance, I'd like to share these skills with you.
Together, we can work on:
- Text analysis: philosophical papers and books can be tricky. We can unpack them and work step-by-step on identifying the main arguments and understanding the key concepts behind them.
- Essay structure and academic writing: do you have lots of ideas but don’t know how to organise them? Finding the right words isn’t always easy. We can work together to define a clear direction for your essay, structure your arguments and ensure your ideas flow naturally from one point to the next.
- Academic discussion: whether you’re preparing for a seminar, an oral exam or simply want to feel more confident debating ideas, we can practise explaining your point of view, responding to objections and critically engaging with other perspectives.
Every student is different, and I like to adapt our lessons to what you need most: don't hesitate to reach out and share your goals!
Naturally, you can bring your own texts, readings, essay questions, or drafts, so we can work directly on the material you're studying at university. During the lesson, we'll discuss your ideas, work through examples, and tackle any questions or difficulties that come up.
Lessons take place either online or in Groningen -- either in a café, at the Forum, or on campus!
