*Bonjour!* I’m Ondine—your French-English confidence booster and *reformed* perfectionist. As a life coach and polyglot (5 languages!), I specialize in helping A2+ learners *speak* fearlessly, whether over croissants or Zoom calls.
My superpower? Turning “I’m stuck” into “I *did it*!”—thanks to tricks from my own language battles (yes, I’ve butchered tenses too). Let’s skip textbook robots and embrace *human* French/English—with laughter and zero judgment.
Off-duty, I’m either pirouetting, testing *ratatouille* hacks, or scribbling travel phrases. Ready to *finally* enjoy speaking? *Allons-y*—first lesson’s on me!
*(P.S. French learners: A2+ only. Let’s grow from there!)*
Ich als Lehrkraft
I grew up in a family of teachers and I've been exposed to efficient pedagogy from an early age. Through my language learning journey I've set up my own method for learning and I believe the first step is to understand how you like to learn, then what topics interest you the most. As a community tutor, I'll adapt to your requests if you have any, or guide through interesting learning topics.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
As a community tutor, I want to help you be comfortable speaking like a true native. True natives sometimes make mistakes, use the wrong grammar and forget the right word. So no pressure required!
I'm also a life coach and I use this skills to empower you and overcome the fear of making mistakes. The truth is that we learn faster when we are not afraid to say it wrong. You're here to learn, not to be perfect already! Let's enjoy learning!
Note: Please note that for French conversation practice, I start at Level A2 :) Thank you
Ondine is fun, knowledgeable and enjoyable to converse with. She puts students at ease and handles corrections tactfully and effectively. I highly recommend getting her assistance.

C'est une leçon parfaite. Ondine is so motivating, patient, super clear in explaining complex concept, and willing to take every step slow - which is just vital for a new learner like me. She would speak slowly and find the best way to keep everything in French so that I could listen more and speak more and immersed totally in French, while not over-whelmed by too much difficult concepts or sentence strucutre. She would also speak slowly and repeatedly so that I could gradually understand more and more, while not be stressed by understanding nothing. Just couldn't say more. Merci beacoup Ondine pour le temps encore. À bientôt!

Ondine is a wonderful teacher and took time to understand my motivation for taking lessons to determine what my goals should be. I would recommend her to anyone learning French.

Ondine is patient and encourages you to speak naturally in a very comfortable way. I've been learning with her for some time now and have noticed a huge difference in my confidence with speaking French.
