I help adults who understand French but still struggle to speak clearly and confidently. Many know the grammar and vocabulary, yet hesitate, simplify too much, or lose fluency when speaking.
As an experienced French teacher and professional interpreter, I’m trained to listen beyond words, understand meaning and nuance, and help you express exactly what you want to say, not just “correct French”.
As a multilingual speaker, I know the challenges of learning and using a new language. I share practical strategies to help you express yourself naturally and accurately while strengthening all four skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.Me as a Teacher
My lessons are focused on oral communication and real usage of French. Sometimes we prepare for specific goals (work-related communication, important conversations, exams). Other times, we focus on speaking more freely, with better rhythm and pronunciation.
I offer a structured and supportive framework, where you can speak freely, make mistakes, and improve without pressure, but always with clear guidances.
I don’t interrupt unnecessarily. I listen carefully, then give precise feedback so your French becomes more natural and fluid. My lessons & teaching style
No two learners are the same, so every lesson is personalised. We focus on helping you speak naturally, think in French, and communicate with confidence.
You’ll learn to:
- structure your ideas clearly
- express nuance and intention
- speak with natural rhythm and clarity
- apply French effectively in real-life or professional situations
I provide a supportive but demanding framework, combining interpreter-level insight, writing expertise, and real-life strategies.
My lessons are ideal for motivated adults ready to achieve extraordinary results in French.My teaching material

Teaching experience
2018 - Current
Online Private TeacherI teach French to adult learners, with a focus on intermediate levels. I create personalised lessons to improve practical communication and clear pronunciation. I also work with mental health professionals who want to enhance their French for working with French-speaking patients. Through conversation, listening exercises, and interactive activities, I help students use French naturally in both everyday and professional situations, providing supportive feedback to build their confidence.
2016 - 2017
French AssistantI worked alongside the French teacher to support students from grades 7 to 12, with a strong focus on beginners. I organised and delivered tutoring sessions in speaking, pronunciation, and basic writing, adapted learning materials, and led conversation activities to help students speak more confidently. I also contributed to cultural projects, including the school’s end-of-year show.
2010 - 2015
Educational Support TutorWhile I was a university student, I provided personalised academic support to children and teenagers with learning challenges, helping them complete homework, strengthen understanding of key concepts, and prepare effectively for language, history, and geography exams. I monitored and guided their progress throughout the school year and also assisted adult newcomers in developing practical French skills for everyday life and communication.

I have been taking French lessons with Khaoula for almost 1 year and I will definitely continue. She is a wonderful teacher. She is well-organized, she provides instructions on what I need to practice for our next lesson, and she always encourages me to continue. She makes corrections that are always to the point but with a very polite and professional way. She is very supportive and patient. I totally recommend Khaoula, as she is not only a great teacher but also a great person. Our conversations and lessons are always very interesting and pleasant. Merci beaucoup Khaoula pour tout!

Khaoula is wonderful! She is intelligent, friendly, and sincere. I've taken quite a few lessons with her, and have always enjoyed our conversation. The materials she uses for class are interesting, and she has a way to pose questions that would help me find things to say. Last but not least, she really lets me do the talk (this may seem basic for a conversation class, but actually not many teachers are able to do so). I look forward to having more lessons with Khaoula!

I’ve been taking French lessons with Khaoula for quite some time now. Her lessons are well structured and challenging but at the same time relaxed and with a varying content. Her encouraging demeanor helps you to feel at ease when trying to express yourself and most importantly for me, she’s patient and affords you the opportunity to try first and then helps to correct/improve afterwards. Whilst I’m not always the most dedicated student, I really enjoy my lessons with Khaoula; she quickly identified my goals, my lessons are planned accordingly and I’ve seen a marked improvement in my French thanks to her lessons and continued advice. Merci, Khaoula!

Khaoula always brings interesting materials and fun topics for discussions in French. She attends to the sentence structures, makes notes and suggests corrections. I have improved a lot in speaking and comprehension four months into the weekly lesson with Khaola. Highly recommended!

Khoula est une excellente enseignante. Elle avait bien préparé la leçon. On a regardé une vidéo qui était très intéressante, et on en a discuté ensuite. À la fin, elle m’a donné quelques précisions. J’ai beaucoup apprécié sa méthode.
