French Coach for International Careers
French that moves your international career forward
Structured, tailored coaching for professionals in EU institutions, international organisations, and NGOs — not generic French lessons.
Sound familiar?
You understand French, but…
- • you switch to English the moment a meeting gets technical
- • you freeze before a French-speaking colleague or panel
- • you're preparing for a language requirement or exam and running out of time
- • you sound hesitant, even when you know the vocabulary
- • your career is ready to move forward, but your French isn't yet
I can help you close that gap.
Generic French lessons won't get you there. You need a method built around real professional situations, not grammar drills disconnected from your daily work.

How Our Lessons Work
We Talk
Every lesson starts with conversation. You'll speak French from the very beginning, building natural fluency and confidence through real dialogue. I guide you, correct you gently, and keep the momentum going.
We Learn Together
Using a shared Google Doc, I take notes in real time during our lesson — new vocabulary, grammar points, corrections, and useful expressions. Everything is organized and accessible for you to review anytime.
We Go Deeper
Beyond grammar, we explore French culture, street language, idioms, and real-world expressions. Lessons are well-balanced, varied, and always relevant to your personal goals and interests.
You Practice
Between sessions, you'll have personalized homework and your lesson notes to consolidate what you've learned. Consistent practice between lessons is the key to lasting progress.

About
About Me
12 years of experience training professionals in French. A background in international marketing and business (Toulouse Business School), plus experience living and working across 8 countries, including 5 years in Brazil, gave me a real understanding of what an international career demands. I don’t just teach a language, I prepare you to use it where it matters.
Multilingual Perspective
I speak French, English, and Portuguese fluently, along with conversational Spanish. I also understand Italian well, though I'm not yet conversational in it. This gives me deep insight into the challenges you face as a language learner.
Certified & Experienced
With over 12 years of teaching experience and professional certification, I've helped hundreds of students achieve their French language goals, from beginners to advanced speakers.
Communication First
My lessons prioritize speaking. I encourage you to speak as much as possible, building the confidence you need to use French in real-life situations from your very first lesson.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
My French is already decent, is this still for me?
Yes. Most of my students already understand French well; the gap is confidence and precision in professional situations, not vocabulary from zero. We work on exactly that.
What if I don't have much time to prepare?
Sessions are built around your actual deadline (exam date, job start date). We prioritise what matters most for your specific timeline rather than following a generic curriculum.
Why not just use a language app or a generalist tutor?
Apps and generalist lessons teach French in general. This programme is built around your professional context from the first session: real meeting scenarios, your field's vocabulary, and the specific situations you'll actually face.
What happens after the free trial?
We assess your level and goals together, and I recommend either single sessions or the 10-session package depending on your timeline, no pressure either way.
