Looking to practice your French? Having trouble with homework/coursework? Want to learn, but not sure where to start? I can help! I have a decade of experience teaching French to students of all levels. I take a tailored approach to each student, focusing on defining clear learning goals and setting a method to achieve them together. I put a lot of emphasis on real-life practice, using conversation, news articles, and music/TV to get you immersed in the language.

My lessons are fully personalized to your needs and level. Whether you are a complete beginner or want to refine advanced skills, I will adapt the content and pace to help you progress with confidence.
🔹 For school support: I explain grammar and vocabulary in a simple way, give practice exercises, and help with homework or exam preparation.
🔹 For professional needs: I can prepare you for interviews, presentations, or workplace communication (emails, meetings, negotiations).
🔹 For personal interest: If you want to travel, live abroad, or simply enjoy the language, we can focus on speaking and everyday conversation.
My teaching style is interactive, patient, and motivating. I combine conversation, reading, listening, and writing practice to make sure you gain both accuracy and fluency. Each lesson is tailored to your goals, and I provide feedback and extra resources so you can keep improving between classes.
Lessons are available online or in person (near the European Quarter, Brussels).

If you want to know yourself, develop yourself and surpass yourself in French...

By revealing your personality and by valuing your natural gifts

By channeling your energy and overcoming your blockages

By controlling your emotions and trusting yourself

By developing your memory and your concentration

Knowing how to capture attention and share your convictions

By opening up to the world and listening to others

By appropriating a character, creating a story

Our workshops are for you


We offer creative and improvisation work.
Each exercise is designed to acquire both the linguistic and socio-cultural skills necessary for the development of a language.
We use literary authors or theatrical plays like a spine in which little by little we will intrude our own life. We will explore through theater, as in forum theater, a powerful technique of individual expression and collective reflection.

The method

The sessions are organized around warm-up exercises, improvisation games and interpretation.

Beyond the techniques of the game, the lessons are also intended to allow students to “compose” with their own personality...



Skills acquired at the end of our workshops;

construction of the character through written production: Familiarization with different techniques for organizing ideas (mind mapping, etc.); summaries of the play, interviews and proposed texts with the development of a plan based on the “introduction/development/conclusion” model;
The voice through oral production: Scenic improvisations based on dialogues; use of examples, anecdotes, references that spice up the discourse; listening to read texts, films, reading aloud, repeating dialog breathing, amplitude, diction, silence management, voice and articulation control (flow, breath, diction, expressiveness);
The body through bodily production: Use of space and presence through mime vocabulary, gesture on stage, management of the gaze (development of a panoramic vision), rhythms, gestures and motor skills;
Imagination through emotional understanding: Use of sensory memory, relaxation, concentration, expression of emotions and feelings by organizing the speech according to the expectations of the interlocutors, promoting listening.
For those who want to improve their French by expressing themselves... For those who want to find themselves in a multicultural atmosphere!

“The learner does not acquire two foreign ways of acting and communicating. He becomes multilingual and learns interculturality. The linguistic and cultural skills relating to each language are modified by knowledge of the other and contribute to intercultural awareness, skills and know-how. They allow the individual to develop a richer and more complex personality and to increase his capacity to learn other foreign languages and to open up to new cultural experiences. Learners are also made capable of mediation through interpretation and translation between speakers of two languages who cannot communicate directly. "CEFR, p. 40
