Speak French Confidently! Experienced Native Tutor, Proven Results, Warm Approach, Journalist Background

Kind, patient, sharp... I'd recommend Elise in a heartbeat!

I'd been stuck at the same intermediate level for years; getting by, but never really improving. Elise broke that plateau. In under a year I've gone from hesitant and self-conscious to genuinely fluent, debating, telling stories, even cracking jokes in French. The progress has stunned me, and my family too. Best decision I've made.

I learned French years ago and it had gone rusty - Elise helped me dust it off and take it further than I ever got at school. On top of that, she’s warm, funny and patient, and thanks to her recommendations I’ve discovered so many new French books, films and places I’d never have known about otherwise. I look forward to Elise's classes each week.

I could read and write French pretty well but froze the second I had to speak. Elise fixed exactly that. She pitches everything just above where you’re at, so you’re always stretching, and she’s genuinely fun to talk to - music, food, whatever’s in the news. Feels like catching up with a French mate, not a tutor.
