Behind UpYourFrench
I’m Florence, a certified French teacher.
I help foreigners in France — especially those in a relationship with a French partner — speak naturally, connect deeply, and finally feel part of daily life here.
Helping you feel at home — in French and in France.
I am a native French speaker, from the beautiful, sunny south part of our country. More than twelve years ago, I made a bold move and left the corporate world. It was a risk well worth taking, and I have not looked back.
I understand what it feels like to live between two languages
I’ve been there — building a life abroad, navigating love, work, and identity in a language that isn’t yours.
I’ve lived and taught in France, Malaysia, and Malta, and I now live in Sardinia with my husband.
I know how it feels when you can understand people but still freeze when it’s time to speak — or when you wish you could join the jokes, express your emotions, or connect with your partner’s family more easily.
That’s why I created Up Your French: to help you bridge that gap — with confidence, consistency, and kindness.

Let’s talk about where you are, what’s holding you back, and how we can make French feel natural for you.

My approach
French fluency isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection.
That’s why I created the Daily Mentoring program: a unique mix of personal support, daily chat exchanges, and short Zoom sessions that help you stay consistent without feeling overwhelmed.
There are no fixed modules — everything is designed around your goals, your level, and your rhythm.
You’ll practice real French, the one you actually hear and need every day — at home, with friends, or in your new community.
