The method

Everything starts with your voice.

You speak

You learn to speak by speaking. From the very first minute, you express yourself on the subjects that truly matter to you.

I correct

Your words are transcribed, and your mistakes explained and corrected in a fully personalised shared document.

Together

We then work on every aspect of the language: grammar, conjugation, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading and writing.

Goal

Everything converges towards the same goal: enabling you to speak French accurately, naturally and confidently.

Your turn to play.

Choose your level, then the best correction.

Beginner levelOne student sentence · two corrections

Student

Le soir, je retourne à ma maison et je regarde télévision parce que je suis fatigué.

Which version would you choose?

Incorrect answer. The sentence is correct, but it remains in the present tense. Here, the best version tells the situation as a specific event in the past.
Correct answer. The sentence is natural and correctly built in the past: the passé composé for completed actions, and the imparfait for the state of being tired.

My correction

Ce soir, je suis rentré chez moi et j’ai regardé la télévision parce que j’étais fatigué.

As a doctor, I wanted to improve my public speaking during presentations and my communication with patients. Drawing on his experience as a journalist, Alexandre helped me structure my message, adjust my voice, correct my pronunciation and improve the writing of my medical reports. His support was practical and highly effective.

About me

Why I teach this way

Before becoming a teacher, I asked myself how to achieve real results when learning a language online. I realised that a teacher is essential, but that they need a method adapted to each student.

What journalism taught me

Journalism taught me to listen closely, find the right words and structure an idea. Today, I use that experience to help you get to the point and express yourself with greater clarity, precision and impact.

Frequently asked questions

The questions I hear most often.

What if my level is too low to hold a conversation?

That is true for many students at first. The first lessons lay the foundations that quickly let you talk about daily life, even in short sentences.

Do you teach all levels?

Yes, from complete beginners to advanced learners. The method stays the same while the starting point, materials and challenge evolve.

Do you speak English if I need an explanation?

Yes, I speak English fluently (C2 level). I also hold a master’s degree in International Journalism from City University of London.

What happens after the trial lesson?

You receive a personal link to choose and pay for your plan, then book lessons without creating an account.

When can I change or cancel a lesson?

Up to 12 hours before it starts. Within that window, the credit is automatically returned.

Why choose a regular plan rather than occasional lessons?

Because the method relies on continuity: your shared document, vocabulary and exercises build from one lesson to the next. Lessons that are too far apart make progress much harder to consolidate.
