Your Dedicated French tutors in Paris

I graduated from La Sorbonne, with a Master’s degree in Literature and French as a Foreign Language. I first worked as a press attaché for ARTE, a Franco-German cultural TV channel and I turned to teaching French as a foreign language in 2010. Since then I deliver personalized French lessons and cultural tours in Paris for French learners.

I launched French à La Carte in 2012 with a personalized teaching approach. For every student to meet his or her linguistic goals, our key words are: a tailored, efficient, flexible, professional and supportive approach and an enthusiastic teaching atmosphere.

I am able to adapt to diverse learning styles, and my teaching experience includes a wide range of learners in many different roles, from students to expats, executives, and diplomats.

After 12 years and more than 1,500 one-on-one students, French à La Carte continues its adventure.

After I graduated from La Sorbonne with a Master’s degree in French linguistics, I taught for a year at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. In 2018, I began to teach French back in Paris as a private tutor for adults and mainly for English speakers.

As someone very interested in languages and foreign cultures, I understand the challenges in learning a new language. I focus on identifying straight off your language needs, from a “useful French” type of learning (beginner level) to more specific topics at advanced level.

My approach is to create each class around what you need to learn, using study material that you will find engaging.

Above all, I believe that your confidence and satisfaction is the key to improvement, so I will always be encouraging and patient.

Travelling is at the heart of my passion for languages. Travelling through music, books, food, and the arts, across the times and around the world. French, my mother tongue, but also English, German, Latin, and Greek have allowed me to weave ties in more than thirty countries and have taught me to handle various styles of communication.

As a lawyer in international companies, I loved welcoming my colleagues to Paris and sharing with them the cultural treasures of the City of Light.

With many years of experience in teaching French, I have taught expatriate families moving to France, students preparing for competitive exams, and tourists seeking authenticity. My courses are tailored to your interests, your daily life, and your professional challenges and are dedicated to the goals chosen together. My students describe me as a teacher who is attentive to their pace and progress, enthusiastic, and empowering.

I have a Master's degree in Law and Human Resources from La Sorbonne University and I am also certified in English and pedagogy by the University of Cambridge.

I look forward to introducing you to a joyful French way of life by teaching you, French.

A bientôt.

Bonjour !

Before I became a French teacher for foreigners, I wanted to be a literature teacher. During my undergraduate studies, I ended up discovering a passion for French grammar and decided to do a master's degree in teaching French as a foreign language at Sorbonne university. Today, grammar has no secrets for me, and I hope it soon won't for you either!

Since graduating, I have been teaching French at all levels, particularly to English-speaking adults. Over the past three years, I have had the opportunity to work with major companies such as L'Oréal and McKinsey. Whether they want to buy a baguette or obtain French nationality, I always accompany my students in their learning by offering them a tailor-made approach adjusted to their needs.  

Finally, as an energetic person with a good sense of humor, I always prioritize speaking skills during my classes, using a funny and interactive approach. My aim is to always put a smile on my students’ faces during my classes.

Bonjour !

I hold two Master degrees : this first one in French As A Foreign Language and the second one in sciences of education.

I have been teaching French to adults and children in several countries (England, Lebanon, Peru..) and I am lucky enough to speak four languages - learning and teaching languages is basically my favorite activity in life !

What I most enjoy about my job is that I get to effectively help people to achieve their French linguistic goals. I have mainly worked with adults, but I have also worked with children and teenagers.

I am also a DELF-DALF examiner/scorer, and I have been teaching people whose goals are to study, work in France and even to get French nationality. I also taght to diplomats

For each French learner, I adjust my teaching approach to meet your exact needs and I focus on the skills you want to work on most.

I think learning a language should be an entertaining and rewarding experience. Following this mindset, I also develop my own teaching resources for children, to ensure they learn using an engaging and fun learning approach.

Even though my lessons are entertaining, I incorporate solid basis in grammatical structures, as the foundations of the language are extremely important when you start learning the language.

A few words about myself: I am an enthusiastic, creative, dynamic, passionate, and dedicated teacher. I love teaching and my energy is contagious! I am looking forward to embarking on a new experience with you!

After graduating in ‘Langues Etrangères Appliquées’ from the Université of Angers, I decided to specialise in teaching French to adults foreigners, mainly in-companies. I have a wide experience in teaching at different levels and to different abilities. I like mixing traditional teaching methods with topical material and pay a particular attention to the areas of interest of each learner.

I like to place great emphasis on communication whilst believing in building a solid basis from the start and making sure that there is a balance between speaking skills, listening skills and accuracy.

Over the years, I have organised French tuition for many companies including the BBC, the Economist Intelligence Unit and Google.

I know that people learn very differently and my experience allows me to pinpoint the method which works best for each person.

I initially started working as an editor for practical books, including cooking, decoration, and DIY. Later, I left Paris for 7 years of expatriation, first in Kinshasa and then in Bangkok.

I totally understand what it feels like to adapt to a language and culture different from your own, as I have been through it myself. With a degree from a business school, a specialized master's in publishing management, and a master's in French as a Foreign Language, I have been teaching for almost ten years to diverse audiences, including business schools, engineering schools, culinary schools, as well as to artists who have relocated to France. Of course, I also provide private lessons.

Regardless of your level, I aim to help you progress in an atmosphere that is both focused and warm. If you are curious about the French language and culture, I would be delighted to introduce and share them with you.

Bonjour !

Teaching languages has always been a passion for me. I am myself bilingual. Having an English parent and a French one, I travel regularly to discover new cultures. Two of my grandparents were teachers, teaching runs in the family !

Therefore I decided to dedicate myself to teaching languages (French & English). I have always had an excellent connection with children & teenagers and the desire to share my knowledge. I have been teaching both children and adults for three years.

For my lessons, I chose to use a fun and creative approach. I pay particular attention to the areas of interest of each learner, and I personalize each lesson around the student’s linguistic goals and expectations.

Au plaisir de travailler à vos côtés ! Looking foward to meeting you and working by your side !

After graduating with two masters, in teaching French as a foreign language, I have been teaching French for six years to various profiles, backgrounds and ages.

From children, to students, diplomats, visitors, professionals, I have a wide range of experience in teaching different levels and different abilities. Besides grammar, phonetics,  and syntax which are the foundations of the language, I always put emphasis on teaching skills that you can actually use in context, in real life situations. If it is useful for you, you will learn it.

In addition, I have been a Parisian for 10 years and I love to pass on my love for the culture of this city: speaking about Paris' eclectic neighborhoods, museums etc. I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you to improve your French in a rewarding and encouraging atmosphere !

As a former journalist, Cédrelle has been teaching French as a foreign and second language for several years. She lived and taught French in Toronto for a long time.
