Hi, I'm Anne! I teach French. I build confidence
My method is simple: we talk.
From day one, in real conversations, because that's the only way language truly comes alive.
Sharing French is my passion. Watching you find your voice is my reward.
You're not a beginner.
You're just stuck.
You understand French but the moment you have to speak, your mind goes blank. You're not alone — and it's not your fault. With the right method, you can unlock the French you already carry with you.
You freeze when you speak
Your brain knows the words. But in the moment, nothing comes out. The pressure blocks everything.
Natives speak too fast
You studied for years, but real French speakers still feel impossible to follow in conversation.
You've lost what you knew
After a long break, your French feels rusty. The knowledge is there , you just need to unlock it again.
You lack confidence
Even when your French is good, you doubt yourself. You'd rather stay silent than risk making a mistake.
My method: real conversations from lesson one
No textbooks. No boring grammar drills. My immersive, audio-based approach gets you speaking immediately , in a calm, zero-pressure space where mistakes are always welcome.
Watch a short video
A curated clip sets the theme for your lesson and trains your ear before we even start.
We have a real conversation
No scripts, no drills. You speak. I guide. You build sentences naturally and instinctively.
You practice with flashcards
Smart, spaced repetition keeps the vocabulary alive long after the lesson ends.
You come back more confident
Each session builds on the last. Progress is real, visible, and cumulative.

Anne has been absolutely integral to my French journey. I started working with her several years ago, now, because I knew that I needed more practice speaking fluently. I can't imagine a more supportive teacher than Anne. She is consistently *so* kind, *so* patient, and she knows how to offer corrections in a way that isn't at all overwhelming. I'll keep working with her as long as I can. C2 or bust! :)
Lessons with Anne are always interesting, stimulating and fun! I like the combination of learning grammar in the context of having conversations and she always sends me an interesting video to watch and then we discuss. Anne is a very patient and wonderful teacher. I would highly recommend her.

Anne is an incredible teacher! She skillfully tailors each lesson to your individual needs and fosters learning through engaging conversation. Her timing with corrections is spot-on as well, gentle yet effective, allowing you to speak freely and confidently. I'm really happy with our lessons and look forward to many more!
I've been taking lessons with Anne for several months and I've learned so much from her! She provides a short video before each lesson that guides our conversation, but we also enjoy talking about our families and lives. Anne is kind, patient, and funny. I look forward to our lesson each week!
I have been working with Anne for almost two years to improve my conversational French. Anne provides me with specific lesson plans, incorporating verbal and written content that has greatly helped my listening and reading comprehension in French. Anne provides specific feedback in each lesson so that you can build on your understanding and vocabulary. Anne is careful to select specific content that incorporates slightly different accents, slang/common language and in topics that are common in everyday life. I feel that my listening skills have dramatically improved - I am able to understand fast spoken French which has been a real barrier for me in the past. Anne is very patient and allows you to take your time to find your words, and is very positive and energetic as a teacher. If you are looking to improve your confidence in spoken French - Anne would be an excellent fit for you!

One of the best things that I did this year was regular lessons with Anne. Her approach makes lessons fun and motivating.
I love the format. I have ample time to speak, read, and have a fun discussion. At the end of each lesson, I have a few items that I can practice and continue to improve.
