Hello,

With 4 years of speech therapy studies and holder of a diploma in teaching French as a foreign language (DAEFLE), I cultivate a real passion for our language that I would like to pass on to you in order to help you overcome your difficulties.

For seven years now, I have been teaching people of all nationalities and levels in Nice, whether as a private tutor or as a teacher in several French schools for foreigners.
My various experiences in this field, as well as in the field of speech-language pathology where I have done many internships with children, adolescents and adults in difficulty, have helped to enrich my pedagogical and relational skills (show myself patient, attentive and reassuring in the face of obstacles and "blockages").

Classes can take place at my home or yours in Nice, in a public place (if you especially want to improve your conversation) or online.

Are you a student in first or final year and discover the method of the essay? Are you preparing for competitions and need to master argumentative writing? Then this course has been designed for you.

French teacher on University Objectives and graduate of Sciences Po Grenoble, I specialized in teaching academic writing: dissertation, text comments, summary notes.

I propose to help you progress without overloading you by making you work:
• Methodology: How do we analyze a subject? How do we identify a problem and a plan?
• Writing style: How can I make my texts clear and pleasant to read? How to interest and support the corrector?

Working on the dissertation and other writings will allow you both to achieve your academic goals but also to develop your critical, analytical and argumentative thinking skills.

Bonjour ! I’m Mélanie — a native French teacher (and English too 😄) based in Nice.

I help learners of all levels make real progress in French — without boring or overly academic lessons. My approach is dynamic, personal, and focused on what truly matters to you: speaking naturally, feeling confident, and enjoying the process.

Over the past few years, I’ve guided hundreds of students to excellent results by using creative, interactive methods adapted to their goals — whether that’s improving conversation, preparing for exams, or learning for travel or work.

I also offer “in-context” French lessons, where we can practise French in real situations — at a café, museum, market, or walking through the old town. It’s a fun, immersive way to learn that makes the language come alive.

Each lesson is tailored to your needs, pace, and personality — so you’ll always feel supported and motivated.

📍 Available for in-person and online lessons
📅 Flexible scheduling
💬 Lessons in French or English

Send me a message with what you’d like to work on — I’d be happy to help you reach your next level in French!

À bientôt,
Mélanie

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.


I look forward to meeting you.

French-American professor graduated from Yale in comparative literature. 10 years of experience, more than 300 students followed. Comfortable with professionals as well as children and even babies. With professionals I use my academic and professional background to quickly adapt to the student's requirements (high-level positions in the energy and private banking sectors. Students from all backgrounds including VIPs, university courses in finance and law). With children I use the Cambridge Fun series, enhanced with videos, games and songs. With babies I simply play or go to the park. Preparation for TOEFL, Cambridge, IELTS and TOEIC exams possible.

I am able to give math lessons up to the final year of high school (French curriculum, IB or SAT)

If he is looking for a tutor, I can also help the student work more generally, follow his homework, help him understand all of his subjects and prepare for his tests.
