I'm a French native speaker from Paris, who is teaching French and drama for all levels.

In French, I have mostly worked with advanced students in 1:1 classes working on their pronunciation, vocabulary that were tailored for professional needs or for traveling.

I can also help beginners and intermediate learners, as I often use storytelling in my method, working on pronunciation, basic sentences, introducing yourself and learn about the everyday use of French.

With me, you will speak French from day 1, it is important to start using French everyday so you can progress regularly. There is no short cut with languages, or any skills that require time and dedication, but the reward of small regular steps will be immense and before you know it, you will start to understand more, be able to reply to questions confidently and ask questions too, engaging in interesting conversations.

Working on topics that interest you is important for a more enjoyable lesson, from history, to technology, video games, Art, films, music, can be as specific as you wish.

I give homework as well from time time the help me assess your progresses and needs but also giving you a goal to aim for. I'm available throughout the week if you have questions about the lesson, or anything related to your French and will do my best to answer them as quickly as possible.

I can relate to learning and acquiring a language as I couldn't speak or write English at all before and learned it by myself being immersed in a country where French is not the main language, I also have learned a little bit of Spanish up to B2 level and now starting my journey into Korean. So I understand the challenges, the doubts, the will to give up. I'm happy to share my tips and what helped me go through the journey of language learning that is never ending, there is always something to learn and improve on, but it's also rewarding and open doors to new cultures and people.

Last but not least, I'm a trained actor and dancer who studied between Paris, London and New York. I have worked on stage in modern and Shakespeare plays, voice work, tv and film.

I can help with drama exams, scene study, auditions for drama schools, building confidence, public speaking, using role play, theatre games, deep breath and relaxation exercises to be more aware of body tensions and manage anxiety to be able to give our best in every situation.

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to go on a French or theatre journey with you.

Kind regards.
