About Sophie
In a nutshell:
Bonjour!
Over 8 years of teaching French to children and 4 to adults, face to face, 1:1 and groups and online, 1:1.
I am a French native speaker who has lived in the UK for over 22 years. I am bilingual French - English and have learnt foreign languages from a young age, being brought up bilingually in French / Alsacian (local dialect) from the age of 2.
I learnt German and English at school and then Japanese at University. After 2 years of Japanese studies, I went to work in Japan for a year and then came to the UK. My background is in corporate sales and speaking a few languages opened so many doors.
I know what learning a language is all about - the good, the bad and the ugly. I`ve been there!
Let me help you on your French journey.

How our 7 day program works:
- On a set day chosen by you (Monday, Wednesday or Friday), you`ll receive two prompts: one voicemail plus one question linked to a written text, song, or video.
- Then, you’ll record one audio answer and one written answer, and send them to us. We’ll identify your strengths, weaknesses and recurring errors and deliver feedback and corrections.
- Afterwards, you can send a revised versions per audio/written text, right up until the day before your new set of prompts are due.
- Once a week, we`ll meet one-to-one for 30 minutes discussion in French about your weekly topic, and you’ll be supported in your areas of development.
What are the benefits?
- Speaking - You’ll create a speaking habit. By speaking French almost every day, you’ll notice your fluency and spontaneity improve, whilst developing your use of tenses and sentences.
- Vocabulary - You’ll grow your word power. Always use the same words? By adding 15-20 new words per week, you’ll soon be trying different ones in both written and spoken French.
- Confidence - You’ll become fearless. By using French each day, you’ll feel less daunted and more relaxed about communicating.
- Motivation - You’ll be eager to speak. With our fun, creative and engaging topics, you won’t get bored. And we’ll even ask you to submit up to five areas of interest when you get started.
Who is it for?
This program is perfect for French language learners who:
- Have reached a lower intermediate or lower advanced level of French and want to focus on speaking, and enjoy bespoke learning.
- Possess a good understanding of French grammar (even if mistakes are made) and have a decent vocabulary.
- Want to become more independent in their French learning practice but need some accountability, motivation and support.
- Can practice French most days; from 15 mins to one hour, it’s self-designed and flexible.
It may not be suitable if:
- You’re a total beginner and need to start from scratch.
- You aren’t ready to put the time in each week.
- You’re looking for traditional grammar-heavy lessons.
- You’re expecting a zero-effort magic formula.
