About Us
Why learn French? Your goals are my guide.
Maybe you’re in one of these camps …
- You’re in school and desperately need help prepping for an upcoming exam.
- You dream of studying in Paris (bonjour, Eiffel Tower!), and you want to fully immerse yourself in the amazing culture.
- You have French parents/relatives and can’t wait to impress them with your savvy French-speaking skills.
- You’ve got a French girlfriend or boyfriend, and you want to speak their language with confidence.
- You’ve got your eyes on an international job and learning French will improve your chances of scoring it.
NOT QUITE THERE YET?
If you’ve tried to learn French before, you’re not alone.
The hardest part isn’t always learning the language. It’s staying consistent.
Without someone to guide you, check in on you, and nudge you (with tough love), it can be all too easy to let your French skills slide.
Learning French—or any language—takes practice. If you don’t use it, you lose it. And suddenly, joining those French conversations feels way too daunting.
LET’S TRY THIS INSTEAD:
Become fluent in French: at your pace and in a fun, relaxed way.
Learning a language should never feel like a chore. My tutoring is structured enough to help you progress, but relaxed and fun enough that you’ll actually enjoy it.
What you’ll get:
- Real-life French skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
- Just the right amount of grammar, vocabulary, and conjugation practice. No mind-numbing drills.
- Lessons tailored to you. We’ll start by talking about your goals and your learning style.
- A supportive, motivating coach who brings enthusiasm (and the occasional happy dance!) to every session.
Here’s where the fun comes in:
- We have real conversations about you, your day, and your interests in French, so learning feels natural.
- I mix teaching with gentle coaching that includes thoughtful questions, encouragement, and self-reflection to keep you motivated.
- I bring energy for two! You’ll be surprised by how quickly the time flies and by how confident you feel afterward.
About Us
Bonjour! I’m Dominique, your fearless & friendly French guide.
I was born and raised in France, spent a decade living in England, and now call Switzerland home. (This could change any time, as I’m always up for travel and adventure!)
I’ve spent nearly 25 years in classrooms—from primary to vocational schools—teaching everything from English as a foreign language, to native French, to French-language drama.
To me, there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing my students grow into confident French speakers, whether they’re practising for an exam, joining a conversation, or simply enjoying French culture.
It doesn’t matter if you’re starting from scratch. I’ll be by your side every step of the way!
CLIENT LOVE:
How it works:
➔ I support kids, teens, and adults—from beginners to advanced.
➔ We can meet online or in person; whatever fits your life best.
➔ Your home can be anywhere. I have students from the U.S.A., France, England, Switzerland, and more.
➔ I’ll provide flexible options to suit your busy schedule.
➔ I’ll incorporate textbooks and teachings based on your level.
➔ We’ll keep things fun and interactive by incorporating role-playing, games, and simulations. (The drama teacher in me wouldn’t have it any other way!)
AND BECAUSE REAL-WORLD PRACTICE MATTERS SO MUCH:
We’ll keep the conversation going in between sessions.
I’ll check in on you, ask how things are going, and invite you to send me text and audio clips of your progress. This “in the moment” teaching makes all the difference in helping you learn French that sticks.
Wondering if you’re in the right place? That’s a “Mais, Oui!” if …
✔ You’ve tried to learn French on your own, but didn’t have the structure and accountability to keep at it.
✔ You want to learn French from an expert—someone born in France, who knows the language inside and out.
✔ You’re fully committed to this and ready to put in your best effort. (I’m here for people who want to learn.)
✔ You want the experience to be FUN, because life’s too short for dry, boring language lessons!
ARE YOU AS EXCITED AS I AM?
It’s time to learn French the fun, effective, and totally tailored-to-YOU way.
