My approach combines traditional language instruction with cultural immersion. We don't just learn vocabulary and grammar - we explore French culture, cuisine, wine, and the art of living. As a native speaker from Bordeaux and a WSET wine student, I bring authentic cultural knowledge to every lesson.
Both! I believe in a balanced approach that builds confidence through conversation while ensuring solid grammatical foundations. We'll practice real-world scenarios, cultural discussions, and practical French that you can use immediately in your daily life or professional context.
Absolutely! As a native French speaker, I can help you master authentic pronunciation, intonation, and the subtle nuances that make French sound natural. We'll work on accent reduction and help you speak with confidence and authenticity.
