for people who like to speak and want to practice and cultivate their French in a creative and stimulating context.

As a lover of the French language, you already know that learning French is a powerful tool for change. French coaching goes beyond learning the language, it strengthens the skills and intuition you need to overcome your learning and life challenges, and to reach your goals—in any languages.

Why Merging Coaching and Teaching?
 

While my lessons are always interesting, creative and full of information, learning a language focuses on reading, learning words, working on pronunciation, conjugating verbs and facing the often dreaded grammar. 

Coaching becomes a game changer when your personal challenges arise — perfectionism, stress, fear of speaking and of making mistakes, learning blocks, and self-sabotage among others. It is not a question of "if" those challenges will emerge but of "when", and in which context.
Learning a language naturally brings those challenges out. This is during those times that being a good teacher is not sufficient and the skills of a trained coach becomes what will make the difference between failing or succeeding at learning and blossoming into the language.​

 

Learning French with an experienced teacher and skilled professional coach helps you not only to overcomes your challenges and expand your intuition and creativity it also infuses a sense of joy and curiosity into your daily life. Your personal vocabulary and your inner and outer worlds expand and enrich your life in French, in English and in all other languages.

While the language of our heart and soul is the one everyone aims to understand, the French language opens one more door for you to express your true and soulful self.

Now, feel free to take a break and relax for a moment. Je suis ravie de vous rencontrer !

Why Taking French Coaching Instead of a Regular French Lessons?
 

While my classes are interesting, creative and full of information your focus is on learning the language by reading, learning words, working on prononciations, conjugating verbs and facing the often dreaded grammar. 

In my coaching sessions, in addition to learning French, you learn to express yourself, you discover your hidden creativity, you find your place in the world and you learn to grow and embrace your own life with purpose. In our coaching session you use the French language as a tool to speak from your heart and soul and to open the door to bringing joy, growth and creativity into your life, even if your French is not perfect.

 

The French language engages your brain in unique ways that your native tongue cannot. It enables you to perceive, interpret, and experience words, sentences and their meanings from a fresh perspective. 

 

Learning French with skilled coaching guidances expands your intuition, your sense of self and infuses a joy to your daily life. This process allows your personal vocabulary and your inner and outer worlds to expand and enrich your experience in French, English and all other languages.
