Bonjour! I’m Élise from Poitiers, France—a lifelong language lover fluent in 4 tongues (currently tackling Italian!). My passion? Helping students *practice* French consistently through engaging, real-world conversations and cultural immersion. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me walking my sleepy dog Sibyl or diving into art and history books, I am also studying linguistics at the moment in the hopes of getting accepted in a master program in September 2026. Let’s make French feel alive together—à bientôt!
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I use the same techniques I use when I want to learn a language. There is 1 secret about learning a language : practice, practice, practice.
I know it's nothing new but it works. During our first classes I will help you set up a daily home practice focused on the 4 skills of a language: reading/ writing/ listening/ speaking.
I will also share with you a file that I keep updated regularly about French movies, TV shows, series, documentaries, podcasts to watch. Learning a language is also learning about the culture.
I am pretty laid back and rather talkative but I will make sure you have results and that the practice is enjoyable for you.
My lessons & teaching style
Anyone learning French or any other language have a similar objective : being able to understand a francophone and express themself with ease. It is not everyone's objective to become a linguist.
To that effect we do need to talk about the G-word. Grammar, yes grammar is important for you to understand on a surface level, what is most important though is for you to apply it correctly and that will happen with practice and correction from me.
My beginner- intermediate classes are split in 2 parts: technique and practice. Each class we will practice French without fail
For conversation classes, prior to the class I will send some content and then we will talk about it.

The lesson was well organized. I’m beginning to learn verb conjugation and I “read” my first paragraph today. I didn’t sound very good but she was very supportive.

Reliable and prepared. Good range of activities, challenging but supported throughout, Good use of colour coding to explain the structure of sentences which helped me as a visual learner.
