How I actually teach
No generic textbook marches, no death by grammar drills. Just a calm, personal method built around you speaking real French as soon as possible.
Six ideas behind every lesson
These are the things that stay the same, whoever you are and whatever your goal.
Personalized to you
Your lessons are built around your goals, level and interests — not a one-size-fits-all syllabus.
Speak from the start
You talk in every lesson, from the very first one. Fluency comes from using the language, not just studying it.
Real materials
Where possible we use real French — articles, videos, your own documents — instead of artificial textbook dialogues.
Gentle correction
I correct as we talk with a quick rephrase or a note in the chat, so you improve without losing your flow or your nerve.
A two-way partnership
Progress is a team effort. I bring structure and honesty; you bring engagement and curiosity.
Support between lessons
Notes, homework and a short guide after each session keep you moving forward between calls.
