Meet Caroline, your French tutor in Paris
French, but make it Parisian.
I’m Caroline (but everybody calls me Caro), a French tutor based in Montmartre, Paris 18.
Originally from Brittany, I’ve been living in Paris for over 15 years and teaching French to adults from all over the world since 2016.
No textbook French. Just real French for real life.
Think French cafés, everyday conversations, local expressions, slang, culture... and the grammar you actually need to sound natural.
I teach in person around Montmartre, with my team offering lessons in other Paris neighbourhoods, and online wherever you are.
Every lesson is tailored to you, your goals and your life in French.

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.

My teaching style is warm, interactive, and fully adapted to you. I focus on real-life French, the kind you hear in Parisian cafés, markets, and everyday conversation, rather than dry grammar rules.
