My lessons are designed around your goals and professional or personal needs. With more than 20 years of international experience, I combine a clear, structured approach with interactive and real-life activities so you speak French confidently from the very first session.
I use a wide range of materials—articles, videos, podcasts, and authentic documents—along with digital tools such as Moodle, H5P, Zoom, Canva and Genially to create dynamic, engaging learning experiences. Whether you want to prepare for DELF, DALF, TCF, improve conversation, refine grammar, or learn French for university or work (FOS/FOU), each lesson is fully personalized.
