Bonjour, I'm your coach
A Paris-native language coach helping busy adults worldwide speak French naturally and confidently.
Born and raised in Paris
Growing up in the 6th arrondissement, I was surrounded by the rhythm of everyday French—the quick exchanges at the boulangerie, the animated debates in cafés, the subtle humor that gets lost in translation. This is the French I teach: alive, natural, and deeply rooted in how Parisians actually speak.
After completing my studies in linguistics at the Sorbonne, I spent years working with international professionals in Paris—helping executives, diplomats, and entrepreneurs navigate French business culture. I saw the same patterns: brilliant people who could read French perfectly but froze in conversation.
That's when I developed the Paris Fluency Method. It's not about grammar rules or vocabulary lists. It's about building the reflexes that let you think in French, respond naturally, and finally enjoy conversations instead of dreading them.
Coaching Philosophy
Speaking is emotional
Fear of judgment, perfectionism, imposter syndrome—these emotional blocks matter more than grammar gaps. We address both. You'll build confidence alongside competence.
Fluency is about reflexes
You don't think about grammar in English—it's automatic. That's what we're building in French. Patterns and responses that fire without conscious effort.
Adults learn differently
You're not a child—you have limited time, specific goals, and existing knowledge. The method respects that. Efficient, focused, and designed for busy professionals.
Real French, not textbook French
I teach the French you'll actually use—ordering coffee, making small talk, navigating awkward silences. The living language, with all its quirks and beauty.
What makes this different
Traditional tutoring focuses on grammar rules
We build speaking reflexes through structured conversation patterns
Apps give you vocabulary without context
Every word is learned in real-life scenarios you'll actually encounter
Group classes move at the wrong pace
Everything is personalized to your level, goals, and learning style
Most teachers speak slowly and clearly
I train you for real Parisian speech—fast, colloquial, natural
