Private French Lessons for Your Goal

  • Daily life in Paris: for expats who want to talk to neighbours, colleagues, the doctor or the boulangère without switching to English.

  • French for work: meetings, emails, presentations and phone calls, with the vocabulary of your field.

  • DELF, DALF, TCF and TEF: exam training with real past papers, timed practice and feedback on your writing and speaking.

  • French citizenship (B2): since 1 January 2026 you need a B2 level to apply. We prepare the TCF or the DELF B2 step by step. Read more

How a Private Lesson Works

  1. A free intro call (5–10 min)
    We talk about your level, your goals and your availability, and I tell you honestly how I can help.

     

  2. Your first lesson (1 hour)
    A full lesson to assess your French. At the end, you get your personalised learning plan.

     

  3. Regular lessons, adapted every time
    We mostly speak. I note your mistakes during the lesson and turn them into the next one, so you work on what you need, not on a textbook chapter. After each lesson, you get a shared document with your notes, your corrected mistakes and a few exercises.

     

All Levels, from A1 to C2

LEVEL 0

A1 - Complete Beginner

You're starting from zero. We cover greetings, numbers, ordering in a café and introducing yourself, so you can speak from the first lesson.

LEVEL 1

A2 – Elementary

You know the basics. We build everyday sentences, the past tense and the vocabulary you need for shops, transport and appointments.

LEVEL 2

B1 – Intermediate

You can get by, but conversations still feel hard. We work on fluency, telling stories and expressing opinions. B1 is the level most expats target.

LEVEL 3

B2 – Upper Intermediate

You speak with some ease. We refine grammar, widen your vocabulary and prepare for the DELF B2 or DALF B2 if you need it.

LEVEL 4

C1 – Advanced

You're comfortable in most situations. We polish nuance, register and professional French, and prepare for the DALF C1.

LEVEL 5

C2 – Mastery

You want to sound truly natural. We work on idioms, humor, cultural references and precise expression.

What My Private Students Say

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "5 stars aren’t enough, I’d make it 10 if I could. As someone who studied French in high school, I pretty much forgot it all. I searched on Instagram and then Google to find the best private lessons in French and booked my first lesson with Caroline. I’ve been back every month since, and when in LA I do virtual. Caroline knows her stuff and she has a way of teaching that makes such a hard language stick. I’d recommend her to any and everyone regardless of your level in French."

 Shaniece J. 🇺🇸

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I’m so happy I found Caro! Our lessons never really feel like lessons. We chat a lot, laugh a lot, and somehow I’m learning so much along the way! She makes me feel comfortable speaking French, even when I make mistakes. My French has improved so much already, and she’s really motivated me to keep learning and getting better."
