Frequently asked questions

It is a relaxed online conversation lasting 20 to 30 minutes. It is not a test, an evaluation, or a hidden sales pitch where you will be pressured to buy anything. It is simply a friendly opportunity to discuss your challenges, explore your goals, and see whether we are a good match to work together. Ideally, we'll conduct at least part of the conversation in French (depending on your level, this could range from simply introducing yourself and describing your daily life to conducting the entire conversation in French). During the free chat, I can explain how the two programs are structured and advise you on which one is best suited to your situation.

Progress depends on your starting level, goals, consistency, and practice time. Regular lessons, practical goals, and ongoing feedback help you measure your progress step by step. The OFII (Office Français de l'Immigration et de l'Intégration) says that after reaching level A1 in the four skills, it usually takes about 150 hours for A2 + about 200 hours for B1 + 250 hours for B2. This should give you an idea of how much time you should dedicate to your progress. My approach is pretty simple. I'm here to help you study and work outside of class as much as in it. I designed the program that way (you have to prepare the class before the meeting). I estimate that you spend at least the same amount of time working on your own as you do in each meeting.

The best program depends on your current French level, your goals, and the time you can dedicate to learning. I help you choose the most suitable option, whether you need daily mentoring, private tutoring, or focused exam preparation.

The Be Yourself In French program is designed to adapt to your life, not overwhelm you. There is no fixed schedule you need to clear. From Monday through Friday, You have missions to complete and you can send voice notes, emails, or official documents whenever you encounter them during your day. I reply by voice, text or email with practical advice, corrections, and micro-challenges. We also meet on Zoom for two private 25-minute sessions per week to practice speaking.

Yes, absolutely! While my main focus is building real-life confidence, I have the credentials to help you navigate language requirements. As a certified DELF examiner and TEF/DFP evaluator, I can help you prepare for: • DELF A1 to B2 exams • TEF IRN / TEF and DFP tests • The new French Civic Exam required for residency or citizenship When preparing for any exam, I start by assessing your current knowledge and needs, and then we work together on the skills required for the target level, as well as the format and expectations of the specific exam.Please note: The exam must be taken at an approved testing center. Taking a course with me does not, under any circumstances, exempt you from actually taking the exam.
