Private French Lessons for Intermediate & Advanced Adults
Feel more confident, natural and spontaneous when you speak French
Online or in person (near Paris-Saclay, Orsay)
Personalised one-to-one online lessons to help you speak more fluently, express yourself with greater precision and feel confident using French in your everyday, professional or academic life.
Does this sound like you?
You already have a good foundation in French. You can communicate and get by in French - you may even use French regularly at work, university or with friends and family. Maybe you’ve spent months or years learning French vocabulary and grammar from apps like Duolingo or Babbel.
But speaking doesn't always feel as easy or natural as you'd like.
You may still:
-
search for your words, even when you know the vocabulary
-
hesitate or overthink your sentences
-
struggle to express your ideas with precision
-
lack confidence in spontaneous conversations or group discussions
You don't need to start learning French all over again.
You need the right opportunities to practise, targeted feedback and a space where you can use the French you already know - while continuing to expand it.
How we'll work together
Every learner is different, so your lessons are built around your level, your goals and the situations in which you actually need French.
My goal: to help you find your identity in French and build your confidence.
Speak
Conversation is at the heart of our lessons. We'll discuss topics that are relevant to you, using real-life situations and authentic up-to-date French content to help you speak more spontaneously.
Refine
We'll work on the language that will make a real difference to your French: vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, expressions and recurring mistakes always in context.
Progress
Between lessons, you'll have personalised resources and activities to keep practising independently and consolidate what we've worked on together.

Student Success Stories
I contacted Marie for some French practice before my final university french oral exam, and she went above and beyond my expectations of a tutor. Not only was she informative and good at explaining the nuances of the language, she thoroughly prepared each lesson which helped me deepen my knowledge of French culture. Thank you so much Marie!!

Marie has been a delight to work with, very patient and helpful. I appreciate the structure she brings to our sessions and the way she allows conversation to flow whilst also making sure I'm learning.
