Native French speaker with a degree in Applied Foreign Languages, I have been giving private lessons since 2021.
I offer French lessons for adults and students, online or at my home, depending on your needs and level.
We can work on conversation, speaking, comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, spelling, and everyday French. Lessons can also be tailored to a specific goal: studies, work, travel, moving to France, or simply a desire to improve speaking fluency.
I tailor each session to the student's pace and goals, in a serious yet relaxed atmosphere. My aim is to help you gain confidence and express yourself more naturally in French.

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

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!

- 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!
