Speak French with Confidence ! Patient French tutor for intermediate & nervous speakers Hi! I’m Cécile, a native French speaker from Paris, currently living in Oxford, UK. I’m a language learner myself, having lived in Italy and Germany, so I truly understand what it feels like to start from zero, make mistakes, and struggle to find the right words. With 1200+ hours of online teaching experience and a background of 8 years in HR and training, I specialize in helping false beginners and intermediate learners build practical foundations in French. I also gained teaching experience at an adult university in Italy, working with learners from diverse backgrounds. My lessons are structured, supportive, and adapted to your goals. For beginners, I use a clear textbook-based progression. For intermediate students, I bring materials like podcasts, short texts, and videos to encourage natural conversation. Each lesson starts with a relaxed chat about your week to warm up and practice real-life vocabulary. Then we focus on conversation, pronunciation or grammar. You will speak from the beginning, with gentle guidance and targeted corrections. The goal is progress and confidence, not perfection. After each lesson, you receive a personalized study document with your vocabulary, phrases, and corrections to review and track your progress between classes. If you’re a beginner or shy speaker looking for a calm, encouraging environment, you’re in the right place. You’re welcome to message me with your level and goals. I’d be happy to help you on your French learning journey!

Cécile helped me prepare for my DELF B1 exam with patience, encouragement, and practical advice. Her lessons made me feel more confident speaking French and were always enjoyable and fun. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their French or prepare for a DELF exam!

I am really enjoying my classes with Cécile! She is an excellent communicator and it's easy to talk to her in French as she speaks in a very clear way and only uses words relating to your specific language level, so it's easy to understand and be understood. She is also very well organised and attentive, and offers helpful materials. Cécile is patient and explains things well. Merci Cécile!

Cécile is a very personable, patient, and competent teacher who, above all, helped me overcome my fear of speaking. After creating a plan leading up to the DELF B1 exam, I feel very confident—not only about passing the exam but also about being able to hold a conversation with French people.
