YOU THINK. YOU BUILD. YOU SPEAK.

Learn it.
Say it. Use it again.

Three simple steps. You speak. I guide you.

01 · LEARN

Learn a useful phrase.

I explain one new idea in English or Spanish.

02 · SPEAK

Build your own answer.

You find the words and say your own sentence. I help when you need it.

03 · REPEAT

Try it a new way.

Use it again in a new sentence, until it feels familiar.

YOUR FIRST 60 MINUTES

We find your starting point.
Then we start speaking.

First, we get to know each other and talk about your goals. We move through the early lessons at your pace until we reach something that challenges you.

That’s where we slow down: clear explanations, guided sentence-building and repeated practice with the new idea.

You leave with the notes from your lesson and my audio to revisit what we covered.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Your first sentence
starts with a first lesson.

No need to prepare a speech or know your level. We’ll find your starting point together.

Can I start as a complete beginner?

Yes. These lessons are particularly suited to adult beginners and learners who want stronger foundations. Explanations are available in English or Spanish.

Will I do most of the speaking?

You actively build and say sentences throughout the lesson. I guide you, explain new ideas and write down the vocabulary and sentence prompts.

Are the recordings made during my lesson?

The audio is prerecorded in my native French voice. It complements the notes we build during your lesson and helps you revisit the notions covered.

Can I reschedule?

Yes, as often as needed, with at least 12 hours’ notice. Late changes and missed sessions remain payable, subject to your statutory rights. See the booking terms.
