French as a Foreign Language · For expats & internationals

Learn French with a native Sorbonne teacher — in Paris or online.

French has a reputation for being hard — mostly, it is badly taught to foreigners: too much abstract grammar, not enough real conversation. My method flips the logic: you speak from the very first session. English support available.

FAQ

Questions expats ask me.

Do you teach French to complete beginners?+

Yes. We start with solid foundations: pronunciation, everyday situations (bakery, admin, work) and simple conversation from the very first session. Lessons can be given with English support until you feel comfortable.

Can I take lessons online from outside Paris?+

Absolutely. Most of my expat students learn via video call (Zoom / dedicated virtual classroom) from anywhere in the world. In-person lessons are also available at my office in Paris 16e (Cabinet Ranelagh).

Do you prepare for DELF, DALF and TCF exams?+

Yes — including for naturalisation, residency cards and university applications. We work with real mock exams, per-skill strategies (listening, reading, writing, speaking) and a clear progression plan from A1 to C2.

How much does a lesson cost?+

Lessons start at €27 per hour. Packs are available: 5 hours for €135 and 10 hours for €259. The first 15-minute introduction call is free, with no commitment.

What makes your method different?+

You speak from session one. Grammar serves what you want to say — never the reverse. As a native teacher and Sorbonne graduate, I teach the language AND the culture: press, songs, real-life situations.
