From 62 C$ /h

The French language is a big, scary beast, isn't it? I'm going to help you tame it so that it becomes your most faithful companion!

You want :
- to interact better with your colleagues
- to chat comfortably with strangers at the gym or in the store
- to feel more confident writing professional emails
- understand the references of French pop culture
- or simply to show off to other French learners with niche vocabulary and clear, precise pronunciation?

For :
- true beginners who start from scratch
- those who think they are beginners but just lack confidence in themselves
- the intermediate levels
- advanced levels

I am a true bilingual speaker (French is my native language and I hold a C2 level certification in English from Cambridge). I have been learning English since the age of 6, and several other languages since then (Italian, German, Japanese, and Thai). I studied literature, education, and information science.

I love teaching and I know from experience how difficult and intimidating it can be to learn a new language.

I use flexible methods tailored to your needs and learning preferences: I can teach you grammar to understand the structure of the language and/or engage you in fluent and natural conversations to improve your vocabulary, listening comprehension, and pronunciation. I will build bridges with what you already know in YOUR language(s).

I would love to share my love of languages with you in a way that truly suits you, so feel free to message me if you want more information.

I believe in playful learning, but make no mistake: I take your progress very seriously and I will work hard to achieve it.
