Hello to all !
Bonjour! I’m Francine, a native French teacher with 15+ years of experience helping students speak confidently—fast! Whether you’re starting from zero or polishing fluency, my tailored lessons blend grammar, conversation, and real-world French.
As an online translator (English/Chinese/French) and global traveler (10+ years in China, plus Europe/Asia/Africa), I weave cultural insights into every class. Let’s make learning lively—over food, travel, chats, or debates!

I LOVED my lesson with Francine. I did the informal student's choice lesson because I like to be in control of my own learning journey, and she did an excellent job of addressing the areas that I wanted to focus in on. I also like having things to do (basically homework) before my next lesson and she gave me some tasks to do in the meantime. I highly recommend lessons with Francine, especially if you're more of an independent learner like me and you prefer the a la carte approach instead of having standard course materials to follow.

Francine explains the materials throughly and gives lots of details. Her class is efficient and very helpful! We had a very productive class today! Can’t wait for our next class together!
