Learn French Through Conversation
I’m a French tutor who helps students learn through conversation, drawing on principles of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the art of conversation. NLP helps me quickly build trust with each student, regardless of their background, creating a relaxed, pressure-free space where you can speak freely. The art of conversation ensures lively, natural, and varied interactions, focused on real-life topics that interest you. This continuous flow of conversation boosts your speaking skills and spontaneity.
Having learned Spanish through immersion myself, I know how powerful conversation can be. That’s why my program revolves entirely around spoken practice — no traditional lessons, just real-life exchanges that keep you engaged. Even without formal lessons, you’ll see progress. I offer gentle corrections during our discussions, and your grammar will improve naturally as you speak. Vocabulary is learned in context, through situations you’ll actually encounter, making it stick.
My method is unconventional, but it works. Online students confirm this every week: they feel more comfortable, more confident, and progress faster than they thought possible.
