I work only with adults!
Coucou 😉
I'm Victoria, a certified French teacher, trilingual expat, and passionate language learner.
If you’re a beginner, you’re in the right place! I help new learners understand and speak real, everyday French through a communicative and structured method adapted to your rhythm.
Whether you’re learning for travel, relocation, or just for fun, my lessons are designed to help you speak naturally and confidently.
I have a degree in linguistics and have learned two foreign languages as an adult, so I know exactly what it feels like to start from scratch. That’s why my teaching is full of patience, empathy, and encouragement.Me as a Teacher
I specialize in teaching (absolute) beginners and low intermediate levels.
I'm very patient and supportive and my students always feel comfortable at making thier first steps/small conversations in French. My students are not afraid of talking and making mistakes. I will always correct you and explain you how to say it in the "french way".
I'm deeply commited to helping you achieve your goal and speak French in daily life situations ( speaking to your French family, shopassistants, neighbours, civil servants, etc). I adapt my lessons to your goal, specific needs, your interests and pace of learning. I'm also open to your suggestions, because every person learns in their own way. My lessons & teaching style
I offer a structured, communicative approach to help you make progress in French and gradually build your knowledge and confidence. My lessons are both engaging - I always adapt them to your situation, interests, and needs - and practical, so you can immediately apply what you learn in real conversations.
In my lessons, you are the main character: you speak most of the time to practice the grammar or vocabulary we’re working on. I enjoy using authentic French - real conversations from videos, series, movies, and podcasts - to teach you the language as it’s spoken in everyday life.
My support doesn’t stop when the lesson end. I provide homework to help you reinforce what we’ve covered.My teaching material

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!

I’ve completed ~20 lessons with Victoria and had a great experience.
She has a well-structured approach and always comes prepared for each class. The lessons are easy-going, which makes learning enjoyable. Victoria also takes preferences into account and regularly asks for feedback to improve the experience.
Highly recommend!
