My Teaching Approach

Human. Creative. Confidence-building.
Learning French isn't just about verbs and vocabulary. It's about expression, connection, and feeling like yourself in another language. My approach is rooted in one core belief: you don't need to be perfect to be powerful in French.

  • 🎯 You First: I don't follow a textbook, I follow you. Your needs, your goals, your energy each day. Whether you're prepping for a move to France, rediscovering your love for languages, learning to be able to communicate with your French partner or in-laws, or finally tackling that intermediate plateau, I shape each lesson to match who you are and how you learn best.
  • Creative & Story-Based: We don't just memorise, we experience French. Through comics, conversations, real-life scenarios, songs, images, humour, even storytelling and roleplay. Grammar and vocabulary come alive when they're part of something meaningful.
  • 🧠 Neurodiversity-Aware & Sensory-Safe: I teach in a way that's flexible and kind to the brain. Whether you have ADHD, anxiety, or just learn differently from how school taught you, you're in good hands here. We co-create a rhythm that supports your focus, your confidence, and your joy.
  • 💬 Real-World Communication Over Perfection: Mistakes? Bienvenue. They're a sign you're trying--and that's where the magic happens. My goal isn't to make you sound like a textbook. It's to help you feel comfortable, spontaneous, and expressive when you speak French.
  • 🌈 Emotionally Intelligent & Encouraging: I believe in slow confidence over fast perfection. I'll celebrate your wins, check in with your feelings, and create a space where you can show up as you are--tired, curious, rusty, or motivated.

Whether you're an overthinker, a returner, a visual learner, a nervous beginner, or a grammar geek, you're welcome here. I'll meet you exactly where you are, and we'll build something solid, fun, and deeply you together.

My Mission

My mission is simple: To help people fall in love with French in a way that feels human, joyful, and real.

I believe learning a language should never feel like a test, it should feel like a doorway. A doorway to confidence, connection, creativity, and culture. At Say Oui to Français, I'm here to guide each learner with empathy, humour, and flexibility : whether they're absolute beginners or long-time returners. I create spaces where you can show up as you are, make mistakes without fear, and grow not just as a language learner, but as a person. Because French isn't just a subject. It's a voice you get to discover and make your own.

“Apprendre une langue, c'est ouvrir une fenêtre sur le monde… et sur soi-même.”
