One-on-one French coaching.
- Elisabeth
Each week, you practice the conversations that matter to you and work on the mistakes that keep coming back.
Personal coaching
We start with your goals and the situations where you genuinely need to speak French.
Together, we decide what to work on over the next few months, then I adapt each session to your difficulties and progress.
Between sessions, you know what to review and you can ask me questions whenever you get stuck.
After every session
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.

They all worked with me over video calls for 1 to 6 months and left these testimonials after their sessions.
After several years of studying French with apps, videos and all kinds of resources, what I really needed to prepare for my travels in French-speaking countries was real one-on-one conversation. With Elisabeth and Mathieu, I immediately felt at ease and learned far more than I ever imagined. I will always be grateful for their patience, their encouragement and their sincere desire to see their students progress.
At 62, I found out I'd be working in French-speaking Africa. After 20 minutes on the phone with Elisabeth, we had a plan. Elisabeth and Mathieu are my heroes - I actually feel confident speaking now.
These lessons take learning French to another level. The recaps - with detailed lists of mistakes, corrections and explanations - are top 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 signed up for HelloFrench's private coaching to finally push past my speaking plateau. The sessions are fun, low-pressure, and perfectly tuned 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 it's for
Practice the conversations you need to make friends, find a place to live, and handle paperwork with less stress.
Work on the French you need for conversations with colleagues, meetings, and professional emails.
Improve your listening, expand your vocabulary, and practice speaking about the subjects that interest you.
This coaching is not designed for an exam deadline two weeks away or a complete transformation in three sessions. It suits learners who are ready to practice steadily and reconsider habits that may be holding them back.
There is no off-the-shelf curriculum. We identify the situations that give you trouble and work on them through conversation, corrections, and focused practice between sessions.

My method
I have refined the method through thousands of conversations, corrections, and lesson notes. Questions from our 325,000 YouTube learners also help me identify the points students struggle with most often.
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.
You answer, rephrase, and revisit the sentences that cause trouble. I correct you as the conversation unfolds so you understand exactly what to adjust.
Your goals
Real goals from students I'm working with right now.

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

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.
The price depends on the length of your program (1 to 6 months) and how often we meet. I give 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.
Sessions take place by video on Zoom or Google Meet. Choose a time from my booking calendar.
A PDF recap with your mistakes corrected, the grammar rule explained, vocabulary to work on, and concrete examples. These recaps are yours for life.
