French culture
French has always been my thing.
More than just my native tongue or a tool of communication I am skilled at. It is my home, my country, the place that I always have inside me, no matter where I live.
My role is to be your guide in exploring this fascinating country so that you too feel you belong here—in a way that’s unique to you.
As a coach, I will provide you with the best tools to improve and find the right pace for your learning process, keeping it both enjoyable and challenging.
Learning French can be a real joy, and during this singular adventure you could even discover you have enriched your life with much more than just a new skill.
Speaking French and understanding French culture might also reveal a new part of you, your “French self”. Who knows what it has to tell you?
It’s essential to me to be reliable. And to hold my clients accountable.
I expect each one to do their best and help them to do so.
When a client’s motivation meets my enthousiasm, we become the best team.
I am not a people pleaser.
The feedback I give is meant to be constructive and help my clients to improve.
I expect honesty from them as well whether is is about asking for clarification or sharing challenges so that we can tackle them together.
I value commitment and consistency.
Whatever their goals are, my clients are passionate and driven.
They take French seriously and act accordingly. And so do I… without forgetting the fun factor :)
