Not sure where to start? Let's find out together in 30 minutes.

This trial is not a sales pitch and not a random chat. It is a short, friendly assessment that ends with a clear plan for your French.

What we will do:

• Introductions: who you are, why you want to learn French (5 min)
• A short conversation in French, adapted to your level, so I can hear where you really are (10 min)
• A few targeted questions on grammar and vocabulary to place you on the CEFR scale — A1, A2, B1, B2 or C1 (10 min)
• My recommendation: which of my courses fits you, what we work on first, and how many lessons it realistically takes (5 min)

What you leave with
• Your approximate CEFR level, explained
• A concrete learning plan you can follow with me or on your own

Before the lesson, please tell me
• Your goal: travel, work, exams, moving to France, family, or simply pleasure
• How long you have studied French, and how
• Whether you prefer a structured course or mainly speaking practice

Complete beginners are very welcome: if you do not speak any French yet, we do the whole trial in English and start from zero together.

From zero to your first real conversations in French!

Objectif A1 is a structured, progressive course built on my own 20-lesson A1 curriculum (not improvised lessons). Every session follows a clear plan, and you always know what you have learned and what comes next.

Who is this course for?

• Complete beginners
• Learners who know a few words but cannot build sentences yet
• Anyone who wants real structure instead of scattered lessons

By the end of A1 you will be able to:

• Introduce yourself and talk about your family, your job and your daily life
• Ask and answer everyday questions
• Order in a café, shop, ask for directions, book a hotel room
• Talk about what you like and dislike, tell the time and the date
• Describe people, places and your home
• Talk about the recent past and the near future

How a lesson works
• Warm-up and review of the previous lesson
• Themed vocabulary, with images and pronunciation 
• One grammar point, explained simply and without jargon 
• Guided practice and exercises 
• Real conversation using exactly what you have just learned 
• Feedback, written corrections and optional homework 

Materials (everything is provided): my own lesson slides shared on screen, a student worksheet for every lesson in French and English, an activity book with full answer keys, plus real French documents (public service forms, official notices, school calendars) with the source on every page. You never need to buy a textbook.

Lessons are taught in French from the first minute, with English support whenever you need it.

Objectif A1 🇫🇷 | Structured Beginner French + Conversation

Move from “I can make sentences” to “I can actually communicate.”

Objectif A2 is a structured course based on my own 20-lesson A2 curriculum. Each lesson builds on the previous one, so your French becomes a system instead of a pile of isolated rules.

Who is this course for?

• Learners who finished A1 or studied French at school long ago
• Students who understand simple French but hesitate constantly when speaking
• Anyone who wants to stop starting over from the beginning

By the end of A2 you will be able to:

• Talk about the past comfortably: passé composé, imparfait, and the difference between them
• Make plans, talk about the future, express intentions
• Describe your routine, your experiences and your travels
• Give your opinion, agree and disagree politely
• Explain a problem: at the doctor's, at the hotel, in a shop
• Use pronouns naturally (y, en, direct and indirect objects)
• Use the everyday expressions native speakers actually say

How a lesson works
• Warm-up and review
• Themed vocabulary and useful expressions
• One grammar point, with the trap for English speakers
• Guided practice and exercises
• Conversation and role-play in real situations
• Feedback, written corrections and optional homework

Materials:

All materials are mine and included: lesson slides, bilingual student worksheets, two A2 activity files with full answer keys, and real French documents with their sources.

Not sure whether you are A1 or A2? Book a trial lesson and I will place you precisely.

Objectif A2 🇫🇷 | Become an Independent French Speaker

“I understand French, but I can't speak it.” This is exactly the course that fixes that.

B1 is where most learners get stuck for years. 

Objectif B1 is a structured 20-lesson course designed to turn passive knowledge into spontaneous speech with more speaking time in every session.

Who is this course for?

• Learners who read and understand a lot but freeze when they speak
• Students who translate every sentence in their head before saying it
• Anyone preparing to live, work or study in a French-speaking country

By the end of B1 you will be able to:

• Speak spontaneously, without mentally translating from English
• Tell stories and recount events with the right tenses
• Give an opinion and justify it
• Use the subjunctive — present and past — without panicking
• Handle hypotheses, relative pronouns and the future perfect
• Link your ideas with real connectors instead of “and… and… and”
• Sound more natural: rhythm, liaisons, intonation

How a lesson works:
• Warm-up conversation on a real topic
• Vocabulary and expressions you actually need 
• One language point, taught through examples 
• Guided practice
• Extended speaking: discussion, story, role-play
• Corrections, reformulations and written feedback

Materials:

Lesson slides, bilingual worksheets, two B1 activity books with full answer keys, and authentic written documents (press extracts, official notices, consumer information, each one sourced: all included).

After each lesson you receive a written note of your main mistakes and better ways to say what you wanted to say.

Objectif B1 🇫🇷 | Speak French with Confidence

Stop sounding like a textbook. Start sounding like yourself, in French !

Objectif B2 is a structured course for learners who already communicate but want precision, nuance and real fluency: the level required by most universities and employers.

Who is this course for?

• Confident intermediate learners who want to reach a professional level
• Students preparing DELF B2 or a French-speaking work environment
• Anyone who understands slow French but is lost with films, news and native speed

By the end of B2 you will be able to:
• Discuss complex and abstract topics with confidence
• Build an argument, concede a point, disagree elegantly
• Understand native speed, informal French, films, podcasts and the news
• Use idiomatic expressions and switch register: formal, everyday, familiar
• Master advanced structures: passive voice, nominalisation, reported speech, literary tenses in reading
• Write and speak in a professional register: emails, presentations, meetings

How a lesson works:
• Discussion warm-up on the day's theme
• An authentic French document, read and dismantled together
• Language focus: structure, register, nuance
• Guided practice and reformulation
• Debate or extended speaking
• Detailed corrections and written feedback

Going further:

If you already have B2, we can continue with C1 material from my program: literary analysis, formal correspondence, structured argumentation, professional jargon and cultural nuance. Just mention it when you book and I will adapt the course.
All materials are included: slides, worksheets, activity book with answer keys, authentic documents.

Objectif B2 🇫🇷 | Communicate Naturally & Argue Your Point

This is not a free-chat class. Eighty prepared sessions, ten for every sub-level from A1.1 to B2.2. Nothing is improvised.

Every lesson has a topic and a clear learning objective. You speak most of the time, and you leave with your mistakes corrected in writing, so your speaking actually improves instead of just repeating the same errors fluently.

How a lesson works:
• Warm-up question to get you talking in French immediately
• Topic vocabulary and useful expressions
• Guided discussion: you do most of the talking
• Corrections, reformulations and pronunciation work
• A written summary of your mistakes and better ways to say them, sent after the lesson

Topics we can explore:
• Travel and life in France
• Food, wine and French habits
• Work, career and job interviews
• French culture, films and series
• Society, current events and debates
• Relationships, family, daily life
• Your hobbies — and anything you bring to the lesson !

This course is perfect if:
• You already know the grammar but freeze when it is time to speak
• You are preparing a trip, an interview or a move to France
• You want to keep your French alive without following a full program

You can also take these lessons alongside one of my structured courses (Objectif A1 to B2) whenever you feel you need extra speaking practice.

French Conversation 🇫🇷 | Speak More, Think Less

You studied French for years, then a French person opened their mouth, and you understood nothing.

That is not a level problem. You learned a French that only exists in writing: articulated, slowed down, without hesitations. This course teaches the other one.

Every lesson has one thing to listen to, and one thing to read.

We start with a short ear game, then I give you the method of the day: four steps, always the same shape, so it becomes a reflex.

Then you listen. I read you the document at real speed, with the hesitations, the swallowed syllables and the "bah", "du coup", "en fait" that real people use. The first listening has no questions at all: you work out what it is about. Then you get the questions, and you listen again knowing exactly what you are hunting for.

Then we correct and here is the part that matters: for every answer, you tell me where you heard it. Getting it right by luck teaches nothing.

Then a text, with three minutes on the clock. Not to read it. To search it.

And we finish with you telling me, in your own words, what you understood. That is the only thing that really proves it.

Three things break comprehension, and none of them is vocabulary

- Words that melt together. "Je ne sais pas" becomes "chais pas". "Il y a" becomes "y a". The words are there, their edges are gone. We train that directly!

- Speed. Spoken French does not mark where words end. Your ear is waiting for blocks that never come.

- The panic of the unknown word. You stop on one word, try to retrieve it, and lose the next ten. This is the most damaging habit and the easiest to fix.

What you get

- Eighty structured sessions, ten for every sub-level from A1.1 to B2.2

- The full written script of everything you heard, sent after every lesson — read it while remembering the audio and it all falls into place at once

- A vocabulary sheet for every session

- Concrete strategies to understan

French Listening & Reading 🇫🇷 | Understand Real French

One lesson, one problem, solved !

This is a targeted course for learners who do not want a full program: you bring the thing that blocks you, and we work on it until it is clear and automatic.

Bring me your blocker:
• Passé composé vs imparfait — the eternal question
• The subjunctive, finally explained simply
• Pronouns: y, en, le/la/lui/leur, and where to put them
• Articles and prepositions: du, de la, des, à, en, chez
• Gender of nouns, agreement, plurals
• Pronunciation: the French R, nasal vowels, liaisons, silent letters
• False friends and the mistakes English speakers repeat forever
• Writing: emails, messages, formal letters

How a lesson works:
• Clear explanation, in plain English if needed
• The specific trap for English speakers
• Exercises, from guided to free
• Immediate use: you build your own sentences out loud
• A one-page recap sheet you keep forever

Also useful for:
• Preparing the grammar sections of DELF, DALF or TEF
• Correcting your written work — send it at least 72 hours before the lesson
• Building thematic vocabulary: work, medicine, law, food, travel

Tell me your problem when you book, and I will prepare the lesson around it.

French Grammar, Vocabulary & Pronunciation 🇫🇷 | Fix What Blocks You

I worked as an Administrative and Financial Manager for several years, managing administrative operations, finances, HR, and internal processes. I also trained apprentices and supported them in developing their skills. This experience helped me learn how to explain concepts clearly, adapt to different learning styles, and create structured, personalized lessons.

I worked as a Management Controller and was also the ERP project lead during its implementation. I trained employees on how to use the new system and supported them throughout the transition.

This experience helped me develop strong communication and teaching skills, as I learned how to explain new concepts clearly, adapt my approach to different people, and create effective learning experiences.
