I’m Caroline (but everybody calls me Caro).

​

I’m a French tutor in Paris, based in the 18th arrondissement near Montmartre, and I’ve been helping adults from all over the world speak French with confidence since 2015.

​

I’m a native French speaker from Brittany (a small seaside town), and I’ve been living in Paris for over 10 years. Since then, I’ve helped students fall in love with the French language.

​

No textbook French ! just real French for real life.

​

I personally teach in the 18th arrondissement (Montmartre area), where I offer in-person lessons in a relaxed and authentic Parisian setting.

​

If you’re based in other parts of Paris, I also work with Lisa & Lola (French tutors in Paris as well)  who can meet you in different neighborhoods such as Le Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, or anywhere else in the city.

​

I also offer online French lessons for students based outside Paris.

​

All lessons are tailored to your needs, your goals, and your daily life.

​

My teaching style is relaxed and friendly, with a strong focus on real-life French, the kind you hear in Parisian cafés rather than in grammar books.

​

Of course, we work on grammar, but also on expressions, slang, cultural references, and all the little details that help you sound more natural and confident.

Eden Saunders 🇺🇸 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've been studying with Caroline for 1,5 years. She helped me to gain confidence in speaking and also guided me in my preparation for the DELF B2 exam, which I passed. I love that she is not just following a text book but customises the lessons according to your needs, creating exercises based on the small mistakes she notices while you speak to help you improve your grammar.
You really feel that Caroline is passionate about her work and it is her mission that you get the best out of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I take French lessons online?

Yes! I offer online French lessons via Google Meet, available to students worldwide at all levels, from complete beginners (A1) to advanced speakers (C1/C2). Online lessons are fully personalized, flexible, and just as effective as in-person sessions. Whether you're in Paris, London, New York, or Tokyo, we can start learning together right away.

2. How can I effectively improve my French with each lesson?

Each lesson is 100% personalized to your level, goals, and learning style. I cover all four skills, speaking, listening, reading, and writing ; with a strong focus on real-life conversation and confidence.
I also track your progress and adjust the content at every session so you improve faster than with traditional methods.

3. Where do the in-person lessons take place?

In-person French lessons take place across Paris, in any arrondissement — whether you're based in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, or 20th arrondissement. I typically meet students in a café, a quiet public space, or during a Walk & Talk tour through Parisian neighborhoods.
I'm based near Montmartre (Paris 18ème) and travel across the city to meet you where it's most convenient.

4. What's your teaching style?

My teaching style is warm, interactive, and fully adapted to you.
