Bonjour

French, taught properly, by someone who loves teaching it.

Lessons are led by Madame Hélène Laurent, a native French speaker who spent her career teaching French in UK schools and served as Head of French. Over the years she has guided well over a hundred students, from nervous beginners to A-Level candidates, and now teaches online from her home in France.

That means real classroom experience, a proper sense of how English speakers actually learn French, and the patience to meet you exactly where you are. No scripts, no app gamification. Just clear, kind teaching that builds genuine confidence.

Why learners stay

  • A real teacher, not a marketplace. You work with the same person every lesson and build on what came before.
  • Lessons shaped around your goal. Exam, relocation, family, travel or pure pleasure, the plan fits the person.
  • The native ear. Accent, idiom and the little cultural things textbooks never quite explain.
  • Honest pacing. Gentle pressure when you need it, reassurance when you do not.
Who I Teach

Tuition built around why you are learning

Everyone arrives at French for a different reason. Choose the path that sounds most like you, or tell me your own.

An English speaker who simply wants to learn French? You are very welcome too. Get in touch.

How It Works

Simple, from first email to first bonjour

Say hello

Email a little about yourself, your level and what you would like from French. There is no form to fill in and no hard sell.

Find your level

We agree a relaxed first lesson to see where you are and where you want to go, mapped against the CEFR levels.

Meet by video

Lessons run on a video call you already use. You will get materials and a plan, all kept in one tidy place.

Build, lesson by lesson

Book one at a time or take a five-pack. Progress is steady, kind and built on what you covered last time.

The CEFR, demystified

Not sure what your French level really is?

A1 to C2, GCSE to A-Level, DELF to DALF. The official framework can feel like alphabet soup. I have written a clear, comprehensive guide that explains exactly what each level means, what you can do at it, and how long it tends to take.
