BIENVENUE – LET’S FRENCH IT UP TOGETHER!

You struggle with learning French? You think that "it's too complicaced and that you'll never get there so what's the point?!". I get it. Yet, I'll prove you that with resilience, you can get there!

Whether you have history with French or not, whether you just want to pass your exam to please others or you want to ace it, whether you are looking for a hobby, whether you want to home school your kids, whether you need it for university or work, whether you want to impress your life partner because they come from an French speaking country (and their family), whether you spend a lot of time on holidays in a French speaking country (or in Disneyland – no judging!) or whether you bought a secondary house in France for your retirement days…

"Miss H makes lessons fun and actually takes the time to explain and go back over things" - Emily, 15 years old

Allez, c’est parti!

« Je suis française (bretonne et fière de l’être!) et entre apprendre les langues étrangères ou les enseigner, le choix est difficile.

C’est assez naturellement que j’ai partagé ma passion dans l’enseignement. Assistante de langues de 2010 à 2012 puis prof qualifiée depuis 2015 au Royaume-Uni.

Si mon premier public sont les adolescents, je donne également des cours de français à des petits et des personnes âgées, de tout profil. »

If you are still here and you understood what I said, bravo! If you already used a translator, this website might not be any use to you.

Here’s what I said: “I am French (from Brittany and proud to be!) and between learning a foreign language or teaching it, the choice is hard.
