Speak French with confidence

Not just understand it

Actually speak it

I help professionals, adults and children to have real conversations in French.

Does it sound like you?

  • “You’ve tried apps. You can order a coffee. But a real conversation? You freeze”.

  • “You have French colleagues or clients and you always switch back to English”.

  • “You’ve taken classes before but you still don’t feel confident speaking”.

  • “You’ve never learned French before and you would like to start”.

  • “You would like to help your child learning French”.

My approach

Learning a language should feel like an adventure, not a lonely struggle.

You've probably tried learning French before. Maybe you downloaded an app full of good intentions. Maybe you bought an online course that's still sitting in your browser bookmarks.

And then... life happened. Work got busy. The lessons felt repetitive. You got stuck on something and there was no one to ask. Slowly, quietly, you stopped logging in.

It's not your fault. Research consistently shows that self-paced online language courses have notoriously low completion rates: most learners abandon them within weeks. A 2015 study in the International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning found that completion rates for self-paced online courses typically range from 5-15%.

In contrast, courses with live instructor support see dramatically higher completion and success rates. Research also shows that instructor presence significantly improves both completion rates and learning outcomes (Jaggars & Xu, 2016). You can read the article here

Why? Because learning is social. We need accountability, encouragement, and someone to turn to when we are stuck. Humans are not designed to learn in isolation, we learn better together, with guidance, with someone who believes in us even when we lack confidence. And because, you are learning a language to speak. To speak with real people, in real life.

What will you actually achieve?

We'll set clear, concrete goals together, not vague "become fluent" dreams, but real milestones that matter to YOUR life:

  • Following French films and actually laughing at the jokes (or maybe not...),

  • Having real conversations with your French friends,

  • Handling practical situations when you're in France: at the pharmacy, the bank, the market, etc.,

  • Being able to communicate with your French colleagues,

What makes The French Class different?🌺

Hi :) I’m Adeline. A french native speaker living in the UK.

I've spent 14 years teaching and studying how people actually learn.

→ 2 Master's degrees (Teaching French + Instructional Design)

→ Specialised in pronunciation: I train your ear first, then your mouth follows

→ I've taught in 5 countries, at universities, schools and Alliances Françaises

→ Certified DELF/DALF examiner: I know exactly what "fluent" looks like at every level

Every lesson is designed around how YOUR brain learns. Not a one-size-fits-all textbook.
