Information about Sophie
Native French tutor, helping expats / future expats and second home owners in France express themselves with confidence and improve their fluency through engaging conversations via interesting articles.
Have you learnt French on your own, in classes, bought the books, studied the grammar and mastered the vocab - and yet still clam up when you speak?
You might have the academic tools, but confidence with spoken French is the key reason why many language learners give up. So, weve created a program which places confidence at the core.
If you wish to express yourself better, become more confident in your ability to take part in discussions with friends, families or locals in France, then join our ongoing 4 week program of spoken and written French.
Work at your own pace and in your own time, with a weekly 40 minute one to one conversation with me, Sophie, your French tutor.

About me:
Over 10 years of teaching French to children and 8 to adults, face to face, 1:1 and groups and online, 1:1.
I am a French native speaker who has lived in the UK for over 23 years. I am bilingual French - English and have learnt foreign languages from a young age, being brought up bilingually in French / Alsacian (local dialect) from the age of 2.
I learnt German and English at school and then Japanese at University. After 2 years of Japanese studies, I went to work in Japan for a year and then came to the UK. My background is in corporate sales and speaking a few languages opened so many doors.
I know what learning a language is all about - the good, the bad and the ugly. I`ve been there!
Let me help you on your French journey.

How our 7 day program works:
- On a set day chosen by you (Monday, Wednesday or Friday), you`ll receive two prompts: one voicemail plus one question linked to a written text, song, or video.
- Then, youll record one audio answer and one written answer, and send them to us. Well identify your strengths, weaknesses and recurring errors and deliver feedback and corrections.
- Afterwards, you can send a revised versions per audio/written text, right up until the day before your new set of prompts are due.
- Once a week, we`ll meet one-to-one for 40 minutes discussion in French about your weekly topic, and youll be supported in your areas of development.
What are the benefits?
- Speaking - Youll create a speaking habit. By speaking French almost every day, youll notice your fluency and spontaneity improve, whilst developing your use of tenses and sentences.
- Vocabulary - Youll grow your word power. Always use the same words? By adding 15-20 new words per week, youll soon be trying different ones in both written and spoken French.
- Confidence - Youll become fearless. By using French each day, youll feel less daunted and more relaxed about communicating.
- Motivation - Youll be eager to speak. With our fun, creative and engaging topics, you wont get bored. And well even ask you to submit up to five areas of interest when you get started.
Who is it for?
This program is perfect for French language learners who:
- Have reached a lower intermediate or lower advanced level of French and want to focus on speaking, and enjoy bespoke learning.
- Possess a good understanding of French grammar (even if mistakes are made) and have a decent vocabulary.
- Want to become more independent in their French learning practice but need some accountability, motivation and support.
- Can practice French most days;; from 15 mins to one hour, its self-designed and flexible.
It may not be suitable if:
- Youre a total beginner and need to start from scratch.
- You arent ready to put the time in each week.
- Youre looking for traditional grammar-heavy lessons.
- Youre expecting a zero-effort magic formula.
Any questions, get in touch.
