About Me

So far I have lead an extremely varied life including work in Classical symphony orchestras, Jazz big bands, Universities and being a consultant for film composers and businesses.
I have just moved to Nice after 30 years in France, mostly in Paris, St. Nazaire and Poitiers.
I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and have travelled extensively on several continents. I have lived in The U.S., England, New Zealand and Turkey but am a citizen and resident of France.
I enjoy teaching because each student learns in their own way and the challenge for the teacher is to discover the best pathway to help the student advance. Teaching is a collaboration and both sides benefit and learn from the educational experience.
English opens doors in many places around the world and provides access to an unlimited amount of literature from all periods. I Look forward to joining you in your search and discovery of the English language.

Bonjour ! I’m Mélanie — a native French teacher (and English too 😄) based in Nice.

I help learners of all levels make real progress in French — without boring or overly academic lessons. My approach is dynamic, personal, and focused on what truly matters to you: speaking naturally, feeling confident, and enjoying the process.

Over the past few years, I’ve guided hundreds of students to excellent results by using creative, interactive methods adapted to their goals — whether that’s improving conversation, preparing for exams, or learning for travel or work.

I also offer “in-context” French lessons, where we can practise French in real situations — at a café, museum, market, or walking through the old town. It’s a fun, immersive way to learn that makes the language come alive.

Each lesson is tailored to your needs, pace, and personality — so you’ll always feel supported and motivated.

📍 Available for in-person and online lessons
📅 Flexible scheduling
💬 Lessons in French or English

Send me a message with what you’d like to work on — I’d be happy to help you reach your next level in French!

À bientôt,
Mélanie

French-American professor graduated from Yale in comparative literature. 10 years of experience, more than 300 students followed. Comfortable with professionals as well as children and even babies. With professionals I use my academic and professional background to quickly adapt to the student's requirements (high-level positions in the energy and private banking sectors. Students from all backgrounds including VIPs, university courses in finance and law). With children I use the Cambridge Fun series, enhanced with videos, games and songs. With babies I simply play or go to the park. Preparation for TOEFL, Cambridge, IELTS and TOEIC exams possible.

I am able to give math lessons up to the final year of high school (French curriculum, IB or SAT)

If he is looking for a tutor, I can also help the student work more generally, follow his homework, help him understand all of his subjects and prepare for his tests.
