When I moved to Scotland in 1993 to study, speaking the language made my life so much easier. I was able to find housing, open a bank account, and complete administrative tasks much more smoothly. I immediately built relationships with my colleagues and made Scottish friends.

Even though I didn't speak the language perfectly when I arrived, struggled to understand what was being said to me, and experienced some cultural shocks!

Speaking English and understanding what was going on around me allowed me to integrate easily. I was able to experience the country from the inside, not as a tourist.

So, I know exactly what it takes to settle in another country. Today, I help you live your French life to the fullest, thanks to my language support!

Speaking the language made all the difference for me

How do my online classes work ?

Main objectives of the classes

Master Daily French Communication

Learn and practice the French you'll use daily. From the first class, focus on acquiring specific vocabulary, idioms, and sentence structures that are immediately applicable in your everyday life. Using the Pareto 20/80 principle, we help you master the 20% of French that is most useful in 80% of situations, gradually removing language barriers for clear, natural, and appropriate conversations in social or professional contexts.

Accelerate Your Adaptation to French Culture & Lifestyle

Engaging in new social interactions and navigating a new culture can be challenging. Each class in your FrenchUp course provides valuable insights into French culture and lifestyle, allowing you to ask questions and enhance your cultural intelligence.

Focus on Your Interests and Specific Needs

Expatriates in France face a variety of situations. Your 1-on-1 FrenchUp course includes tailored sessions to address your unique needs and priorities, whether you're a parent, professional, or diplomat.

Long-Term Language Skills Development

We ensure your FrenchUp course delivers lasting benefits. As an alum, enjoy continued access to our online platform for at least one year after your training ends. Keep practicing your language skills and explore additional resources autonomously.

A combination of 3 complementary 1-on-1 session types

1-on-1 French classes are a perfect combination of structured thematic sessions, 100% custom ad-hoc sessions and a final evaluation session. The number of each type of sessions depends on your current language level.

Thematic sessions

Each thematic 1-on-1 session is dedicated to a specific daily-life related topic that enables you to discover new French language and culture content that you will be able to reuse in your social and professional contexts right after the class.

Customized learning sessions

For each topic, you get a list of natural vocabulary, expressions and grammar structures that the French would use to speak about the topic. Using this selected list of words and expressions will make your French sound more native. This list will be a great tool to sustain the conversation activities.

Assessment Session

I continuously monitor your progress and will make any necessary adjustments to ensure you stay on track for the next level of French.

Additionally, you will have a final evaluation session (optional) that includes a 45-minute written and oral test. You will receive live feedback during this session, followed by a wrap-up Q&A with your teacher, who will also provide guidance on the best ways to continue advancing and maximizing the benefits of your training in the long term.

1- Welcome and Comfortable Environment to Start Your French Class

Grab a coffee, get comfortable, and connect with your teacher. Prepare to immerse yourself in speaking French for the duration of the class !

2- Topic introduction

The teacher will introduce the topic of the day in an interactive manner, providing you with insightful social and cultural context to enrich your understanding and conversation.

3- New vocabulary introduction

Your teacher will introduce a curated list of relevant vocabulary, expressions, and sentence structures related to the class topic. You’ll learn how to pronounce them, use them in context, discover practical synonyms, understand formal and informal variations, and incorporate them into grammatically correct sentences.

4- Interactive Pair Conversation

You’ll engage in an immersive French conversation, discussing a thought-provoking question related to the main topic. With the new vocabulary and expressions you've learned beforehand, you'll be able to express your ideas more clearly.
