About Amélie
Bonjour!
I am Amelie, a professional French native teacher, with a methodology method that has proved its worth many times. Not only my method and my academic background will help you thrive in your French learning journey, but my passion and enthusiasm for my language will motivate you to pursue your efforts along the way.
I have been living in the UK for the past seven years which gave me a robust understanding of both French and British cultures and educational systems.
Since I have started this fantastic tutoring journey, I have taught French to students with a great variety of backgrounds – Native speakers preparing for their French baccalaureate (French A-levels), British teenagers preparing for their GCSE, children who wanted to learn a new language, expat adults living in France, English-speaking adults who wanted to improve their resume. My "raison d'être" is to support my students and help them to achieve their goals, with confidence and enthusiasm.
Alors… Do you want to prepare for your French exam? Or a job interview? Are you planning a trip to a French-speaking country? Do you need to learn specialized French for work? Do you want to learn a new language because it makes you happy? Do you need more conversational time to gain confidence? Book your first lesson with me today! French has never been so easy.
A bientot !

MY PERSONAL APPROACH AND LEARNING METHOD
Whether you want to progress quickly, learn specialized French for work, pass your French exams (all levels), enroll your child in a fun and excellent French course or just practice French conversation, I am the teacher you need!
Each individual deserves to be treated as such, that is why my teaching method is tailor-made as per your needs. My teaching methodology is personalized to your level, your requirements, and your very own personality. This is how I have always managed to get excellent results with my students.
My aim is to make you gain confidence while improving your knowledge to be able to take part in a conversation in French and to feel comfortable whatever your level stands at.
I will always do my best to find a perfect balance between theory and its application in a creative and stimulating way to not only keep you engaged but also to make you get excellent results.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM YOUR LESSONS
I plan your lessons based on your needs and around your existing (or non-existing) knowledge of French to take you to the next level. One lesson typically lasts one hour but this is something that we should discuss beforehand to meet your requirements.
The courses you will attend are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (A1 to C2) to provide a guideline for your learning and will revolve around four major axes: 1) reading 2) speaking 3) writing 4) listening.
I am providing the learning materials and I will give you homework to learn and practice in-between lessons. All these resources and even more would be accessible in your own online personal space where we can communicate until your next lesson if you need to.
One of the best study tools I prevail is conversation and engaging content - activities based on texts, videos, podcasts, and TV shows. Even when we will have to talk grammar or tricky conjugation, I will make it digestible and even funny. However, I will never give up on quality and I think that accuracy is key to pushing you to go an extra mile in your learning journey.
MY QUALIFICATIONS
- Baccalauréat with honors with French/English as specialties
- 2 years in classe préparatoire - The French classes préparatoires are an intensive two-year post-baccalauréat course designed to prepare the best students for entry into the Grandes Écoles. It is the equivalent of an excellence intensive foundation degree
- Master (La Sorbonne, Paris) in Literature, Research, Translation, and university teaching under the supervision of Dr. Sarah Pickard.
Before I recognized that teaching was my vocation, I joined the private sector in the property management industry for four years and this high-level experience has definitely brought more depth to my academic background and allowed me to understand completely the needs of my professional students.
WHO ARE MY LESSONS FOR? (hint: YOU!)

Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Amélie.
Perfect! Amélie is a great teacher: endlessly patient, makes grammar fun, and you never feel embarrassed to make a mistake. Her emphasis on teaching French through conversation is really engaging and you pick up so many words without even thinking about it. I always look forward to my French lesson.
- Amélie's response :Elizabeth is a fantastic French student! She is highly engaged and motivated, and she is always eager to learn. She is also not afraid to ask questions and make mistakes, which are essential for language learning. Elizabeth has made great progress in her French studies, and I am confident that she will continue to succeed.
Perfect! Great lessons with lots of good practice points!
Perfect! I have been taking classes with Emily for almost two months. She is a very professional and very respectable teacher. It is amazing how much she helps students with their language learning, based on her vast experience and great patience. I am very eager to continue studying with her!
- Amélie's response :Wenyi is a very committed and enthusiastic student, it is a pleasure to see her multiple times a week to help her with her project to be fluent in French. She is showing great engagement, is improving her pronunciation and speaking skills very quickly and always tries to speak French as much as possible during our lessons. I would suggest that she tries to watch French series, films, or TV shows to be even more surrounded by French. Tres bon travail, Wenyi!
Perfect! Amelie is a fantastic tutor. Very clear and understanding! Would strongly suggest learning with her!
- Amélie's response :It was lovely to see Jack again today. His French pronunciation has drastically improved in only four lessons and he is now able to say his opinion on some subjects and to form sentences. I can also tell that he definitely gained confidence and starts to have instinctive reasoning that will be useful along his learning path. What Jack lacks in French grammar and vocabulary, he compensates with a strong will to learn and a regularity in his homework. It's always a pleasure to have a lesson with him, bravo Jack!

I’ve been learning spanish for a few years via an app but thought i’d try a tutor for french. Amélie has to be one of the best educators i’ve met. Her lessons are flexible and tend to focus on what you need support with most rather than following a rigid curriculum as with most tutors. I’ve understood more about grammar and constructing sentences in a few weeks than i did over 3 years on the app and my french has definitely improved significantly since starting with Amélie. I’ve already recommended her to many friends and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to improve or start learning french. She’s very easy going, friendly and easy to contact if you need help outside of lessons. 10/10.
I cannot stress enough how great Amelie was with our daughter. She had to prepare her A-levels and was sure to fail. Amelie managed to give her the confidence she lacked and our daughter Alice couldn't wait for her weekly french lesson.

I highly recommend Amelie to learn French. She was amazing with my son, being creative and explaining things very well.
Amelie is a wonderful teacher of my 13 year old daughter. She often checks in with me separately to give me an update. My daughter learns new words every week, and his accent is improving too. My daighter says: “You can talk to her about lots of different subjects. She is fun to talk to and thinks of engaging activities. We have good conversations in French. She has taught me to speak more fluently on relatable topics like weather and transportation. She teaches me new words, and then we do a few activities to memorise them and their spelling. I look forward to the classes and I have fun in the sessions. I would recommend her."
Amelie's tutoring was a godsend!
At first I felt in love with french, it sounds great, and after all it's the language of patisserie. When I started to learn it, the dream changed into a nightmare. (especially verb "conjugaison"!!)
Not only Amelie was a great tutor, and obviously knows her stuff. But she's also so engaging and fun that the flame I had for the language was re-ignited, for good this time.
Choose her! I bet you a bag of maracons you won't regret it.Amelie is so lovely and makes me feel very comfortable whilst trying to learn French! She not only helps me with the language but also encourages me to understand the culture. I've had a great few lessons so far, and can't wait to continue learning, thank you Astrid.
Amelie has been privately tutoring me for nearly a couple months now. She left a great impression on the very first day and I enjoy learning with her. She’s an excellent teacher who is also very kind and sociable. Her lessons are fun and help me a lot, I’m lucky to have her as a tutor.
