Private French Tutor in Paris and Online

Hi! How are you?

My name is Estelle. I'm a native French speaker and FLE teacher, and I’ve been teaching French to kids and adults for over 7 years.

I hold a Master’s degree in Commercial and Civil Law and a veterinary nurse license. In 2004, I also obtained the ESOL FCE Cambridge certification. Right after graduating, I decided to travel, learn languages, and discover different cultures.

I've spent over 12 years traveling—living in Latin America, where I learned Spanish, and in Asia, where I taught both English and French. I also lived in Australia for a year.

I now tutor people who want to learn or improve their French in a fun and efficient way. I’ve also helped many students prepare for and pass their French naturalization exams (for French citizenship).

My students come from diverse countries and backgrounds. They learn French for many reasons: school, work, leisure, travel, or exams. Some are preparing for the DELF, TEF Canada, IGCSE, or French/Canadian citizenship tests.

I believe the best way to learn a language is through practice—especially with native speakers—so you can understand how it’s really spoken, including slang. I’ve been a language learner myself and still am: I’m currently learning Mandarin Chinese, Malay, and Thai, so I completely understand the challenges.

Learning a language isn’t always easy, but it can be fun and rewarding. Once you begin speaking, you’ll gain more than words—you’ll discover new cultures and perspectives.

My teaching style is relaxed, fun, but also focused and effective. I create a safe space where you're not afraid to speak or make mistakes. I use a systematic approach and cover grammar and conjugation while focusing on useful topics like daily life, travel, business, health, sports, and more. This ensures you're learning relevant vocabulary and expressions to use in real-life situations—whether with colleagues or while traveling.

Classes are tailored to your level and goals. It's helpful if you already speak some French, but if not—don’t worry! I also speak English, Spanish, a bit of Mandarin (HSK 4), and Malay, so we can communicate with ease.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you with your French!
