At 62, I learned I'd be working in French-speaking Africa. After 20 min on the phone with Elisabeth, we built a program. Elisabeth and Mathieu are my heroes, I feel confident to speak.
My private coaching will change the way you speak French.
- I'm your personal teacher, helping you reach your French goals.
- I'm there to push you forward and help you stay motivated over the long haul.
- I only take a few students at a time so I can give 100% to every one of them.
This is more than a French class. It's coaching that builds your confidence to have real conversations in French.
Personal coaching
A program designed around you and your goals
The personal coaching I offer goes far beyond traditional French lessons. It's built entirely around you and your needs.
Together, we define a tailor-made plan that will help you reach your goals within a set timeframe (1 to 6 months). Every step is carefully planned to help you progress quickly and effectively.
With this coaching, you'll never be alone. I'm here to guide you, motivate you and help you reach the highest level you can in French.
After every session
You walk away with a personalized recap.
A PDF with your mistakes, the corrections, and the rules explained clearly. It gives you something specific and useful to work on between sessions.
A vocabulary list from the session, so you can review and reuse the words that came up naturally during the conversation.

What coached students say.
They all worked with me over video calls for 1 to 6 months and left these testimonials after their sessions.
The lessons take French learning to a higher level. The recaps with detailed lists of mistakes, corrections and explanations are of high quality.
In 3 months with Elisabeth and Mathieu, I've made enormous progress in expressing myself. They're warm and easy to talk to.
I chose HelloFrench's personal coaching to break through to the next level orally. Sessions are playful, stress-free, perfectly suited to my level.
I took one-on-one lessons for nearly 6 months with HelloFrench. One of the best decisions I've made. My lessons are engaging, high quality and tailored to my level.
Who is it for
For people who really need French in their lives.
To settle in France
Whether you want to make new friends, find a place to live or handle paperwork, I help you feel more at home in your new surroundings.
To work in French
Whether you need to talk with colleagues, take part in meetings or write professional emails, I help you build the French you need for work.
For the love of French
If you want to understand conversations better, broaden your vocabulary or feel more at ease speaking, I help you make real progress.
This coaching might not be for you. And that's a good thing.
If you're looking for a breakthrough in 3 sessions, a miracle method, or a teacher who'll tell you that you're ready for the DELF in two months, this coaching isn't for you. I work with people who accept that speaking French like a native takes time, steady work and a willingness to rethink their own habits - not a magic formula.
If you already know my work and how I teach, you have a sense of what to expect. No off-the-shelf curriculum, no big promises. We work together on what's blocking you, at your pace, until it feels natural.

My method
A proven method.
It's built on thousands of lessons, conversations, corrections and notes. Thanks to daily contact with our community of 320,000 learners on YouTube, my method is updated continuously to stay useful, practical and current.
Real everyday French comes first.
Too many learners spend time on details they'll rarely use, while still missing the words and expressions native speakers actually say every day. I focus on the French that's actually used in real life.
Conversation is at the heart of everything.
This isn't passive learning, and it's not an app. You stay active the whole way through, and that's what helps you improve faster, speak more naturally, and build real confidence.
Your goals
My coaching adapts to your goals.
Real goals from students I'm working with right now.
I'm moving to France in 3 months and I want to actually fit in.
I need to master French in 6 months because I'm giving a talk to a French-speaking audience.
I just moved to France and I'm struggling to make friends because of my French level.
I'm retired and I have the time. I've always loved French, and I want to be the best I can be in 6 months.
I'm a student, and I want the best possible grade on my French exam.
I want to reach the highest level I can in 3 months because it's a challenge I want to take on.
"Engineers, retirees, students, parents, expats… very different backgrounds, but they often hit the same wall the moment they try to speak French. For a lot of them, our courses were where it finally clicked." - Elisabeth & Mathieu

Join the waitlist →Frequently asked
You might have one of these questions in mind.
What level do I need to start?
From A2 to C1. The main thing is having the basics to hold a conversation, even imperfectly. We're here to help you improve - not to expect you to already be perfect.
How much does the coaching cost?
The price depends on the length of your program (1 to 6 months) and how often we meet. Elisabeth gives you the exact price on the first call, with no commitment and no pressure - the discovery call is about whether the coaching is a good fit, not about selling you anything.
How do the sessions work?
On video (Zoom or Google Meet), from home. You pick your slots based on your schedule through a booking link.
What do I get after each session?
A PDF recap with your mistakes corrected, the grammar rule explained, vocabulary to work on, and concrete examples. These recaps are yours for life.
Can I pay through my company?
Yes. We already work with professional clients and we can issue invoices in your company's name. For team access (multiple seats or an L&D budget), just email us directly.
