📚All Levels A1-C2|🗣️ Specialized in Phonetics|🥇Certified examiner for all Exams|Confidence 100% You've studied French for years and you still freeze when someone speaks to you. That's not a talent problem but a method problem, I fix that. I'm a phonetics specialist and a certified examiner for every official French exam. I work exclusively with adults, and I hear the same story daily: years of classes, notebooks full of conjugation tables, and still that blank moment when a French person opens their mouth. I know it from the inside as I've learned several languages myself. 📊 6600+ lessons · 90% pass rate · 70% of my students prepare an official exam. Adults only, I don't teach children or teenagers. 🙂 🗣️ We start with sound. French doesn't sound the way it looks: liaisons swallow words, syllables disappear, the rhythm falls at the end of the group. We work on the vowels that don't exist in your language (dessus/dessous, poisson/poison), on intonation and liaisons until people stop asking you to repeat. 🥇 Exam preparation: DELF · DALF · TCF · TCF Canada · TEF Canada. As an examiner, I know what the grids reward and where candidates lose points: diagnostic, format drills, point-saving strategies, mock exams corrected with the official grid and a realistic answer to "how many weeks do I need?" 💬 General French: no vocabulary lists, no grammar for its own sake. You speak from lesson one and build week by week — renting a flat, appointments, meetings, admin calls. Book a trial lesson: tell me your goal, and I'll tell you how to get there!

I also believe that casual conversations are the best way to learn a new language because it helps the student to practice his vocabulary and fluent his accent.

    Madame Cécile is still my favorite tutor! She is patient, professional, and always attentive to my needs. I really appreciated her support and guidance while preparing for the DELF B1 exam. After passing the B1 exam, I naturally decided to continue learning with her to prepare for the DELF B2, particularly the speaking section. I highly recommend her lessons!

    Manon is a wonderful teacher! Her lessons are always interesting, enjoyable, and well-prepared. We've been studying together for over six months, and I can really see how much I've improved. I started with almost no French, and now I can actually have conversations, which feels amazing :) We spend a lot of time speaking during our lessons, and Manon always brings interesting topics, texts, and activities to discuss. She creates a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where it's easy to practice and learn without feeling nervous about making mistakes. I always look forward to our lessons and would happily recommend Manon to anyone who wants to learn French!

    I've had the pleasure of learning French with Maïli for a few lessons now and cannot recommend her enough. Somehow, she strikes just the right balance between letting me ramble on in French and jumping in to correct common mistakes and words that she notices I struggle with. Her style of teaching is great for both building confidence and learning the particularities of the language simultaneously, and I've certainly noticed my French really improve since we started lessons. On top of that she's always friendly and enthusiastic to teach, and always has a nice idiom for any occasion --- very effective for making one's French a little more natural!

    Romain is a phenomenal teacher! He’s kind, engaging, and an exceptional conversationalist. I love the balance between structure and flexibility in his lessons. The materials cover diverse topics while leaving room for spontaneous conversations. As someone who asks tons of questions, I appreciate how clearly and patiently he explains things! Since I speak Portuguese and English, connecting French to Portuguese makes a huge difference. Concepts I was trying to learn for months, Romain explained them in less than four minutes! Beyond French, his extensive knowledge makes conversations profoundly enriching. I feel like I’m learning about life, culture, and different perspectives, not just a language. I also appreciate his approach to corrections: he gives room to find your own words and build confidence. After just a couple of lessons, I feel like I’ve progressed beyond what I could’ve imagined! I leave every lesson feeling fulfilled and accomplished. I can’t recommend him enough!! 😊

    Josie is amazing! I really wanted to improve my conversational skills, and I chose her because she seemed dynamic and fun in her video. I’m now more than 20 lessons in and I can definitely confirm that she is not only engaging and easy to talk to, but also incredibly diligent, energetic, smart, thoughtful and hilarious. I expected that we would simply chat in French for an hour each week, and we definitely do that, which has improved my speaking ability immensely. But Josie also goes out of her way to make her lessons as comprehensive and personalized as possible. I moved to France a year and a half ago, and she has been very thoughtful about structuring lessons that will help me to navigate daily life in France and give me exposure to important cultural references. She also tries to make my French less formal and textbook, and more colloquial and natural, which I appreciate immensely. In short, she’s pretty much the idea French teacher!

    I came to Lenaïg with the goal of progressing my French skills from near zero to B1. After 4 sessions I am feeling incredibly confident that I will be able to reach my goal with her help, if I am willing to dedicate the time and effort. I have an anxiety streak, especially around learning new things with an audience but her approach has made this very easy for me. Our sessions feel less like a formal instructor and more like a conversation with a friend. Lenaïg's English is incredibly clear. If you are considering her as an instructor and are coming from a native English background, don't hesitate to book a lesson.

    During the lessons, I discussed a lot of TCF speaking topics with Rim, for example, environmental issues and health topics. I learned how to organize my speech and how to speak more fluently in French. Also, Rim encouraged me to think of different angles for each topic. She definitely helped me a lot in preparing for the exam.

What are the passing scores for the TEF exam?

The passing scores for the TEF exam depend on the specific version of the test and the requirements of the institution or organization you are applying to. For example, if you’re taking the TEF Canada for immigration, the Canadian government requires a minimum score of CLB 7 (Canadian Language Benchmark) for certain visa categories, though higher scores may be needed for others. For university admission or naturalization purposes, each institution or government body may have its own score requirements, typically ranging from B1 to C1 level on the CEFR scale. It’s important to check the specific requirements for your intended purpose and work with your tutor to target the appropriate score.

Do I need to take all four parts of the TEF exam?

Whether you need to take all four parts of the TEF exam depends on your specific goals. The TEF exam consists of listening, reading, writing, and speaking sections, but some institutions or organizations may only require certain parts of the test. For example, if you’re applying for immigration to Canada or university admission, you may only need to take the listening, reading, and writing sections. However, if you’re applying for citizenship or seeking a professional qualification, the speaking section may also be required. Discuss your requirements with your tutor to focus on the sections you need for your specific situation.
