I work only with adults! Coucou 👋​😁​ I'm Victoria, a certified French teacher with a degree in linguistics, trilingual, and an expat who learned two foreign languages as an adult. I know exactly what it feels like to be a beginner, and that experience shapes every lesson I give. I specialise in adult (absolute) beginners and low-intermediate learners, especially those learning French for a move to France, for travelling, or simply out of curiosity. My lessons are structured, communicative, and adapted to you : your goals, your interests, your pace. You do most of the talking. We use real French from everyday life (videos, podcasts, conversations) so you don't learn only "textbook French" that nobody actually speaks. Between lessons, I give you homework to consolidate what we've covered. My students note that lessons are structured but never rigid, there's always a mix of conversation, exercises, and real content that keeps things interesting. What they notice most is how much they actually speak and how, little by little, that speaking becomes less scary and more natural. I'm curious, creative, and, my students would confirm, very patient. I love discovering new things, going for walks, playing piano, watching series or settling in for a board game. For me, languages are just another way of connecting with the world and the people in it. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

I don't often write reviews. But I'm making an exception for Victoria. She is not my first French teacher on this platform, but she is, without a doubt, the best I've had. Her lessons are well prepared and have helped me further my French. But, just as important, are her patience and sense of humor. If you're looking for an excellent French teacher, you've found her.

Victoria is really helpful and patient with me, as a beginner I'm wanting to run before I can walk... and Victoria is helping to make me feel comfortable with learning and understanding that making mistakes is part of the journey. Thank you Victoria!
