Living French — learn French through culture and conversation
About Me
Native Parisian with 6 years of teaching experience. I believe the best way to learn French is through authentic cultural immersion — we use real articles, films, and music alongside structured grammar practice. I work with beginners through advanced students and specialize in helping professionals who need French for work or relocation. My approach is warm and encouraging, with clear explanations in English when needed.
About My Lessons
Each lesson is built around a piece of authentic French content — a news article, a film clip, a song, or a unique podcast. We use it as a springboard for vocabulary, grammar, and discussion. I alternate between structured grammar weeks and both free conversation weeks so you get accuracy and fluency. Homework is optional but recommended: short writing exercises or listening tasks.

Clear explanations, lots of practice time, and constructive feedback. Perfect combination.
After 3 months, I can finally hold conversations in real life. Thank you!
Great at explaining grammar in a way that actually makes sense. My confidence has grown so much.
