DELF/DALF success

Learn to communicate with confidence in French to turn your conversations into real opportunities

You will:

:coche_trait_plein: express yourself more fluently

:coche_trait_plein: understand French and be understood more easily

:coche_trait_plein:  create connections in a more natural way

I started taking classes with Pauline to prepare for the DALF C1. I lacked confidence but with the lessons I gained the confidence I needed to succeed. In the end, the result was even better than I expected: my final score was 85.5!

Pauline is a very patient and attentive teacher. Even on days when I was frustrated, she encouraged me to go further. The DALF C1 was the first step in pursuing my dream: to start a master’s degree in France. I highly recommend Pauline, for her professional competence and her thoughtfulness.

I have been learning French with Pauline for over two years.  She is what I like to call my “Super-Prof”.

She has knowledge in a wide range of subjects, her conversation is intellectually stimulating, no matter what level of French you have, constantly correcting mistakes as you go along, without appearing condescending.

You will learn not only delicate conjugations such as the conditional and the compound past tense, but also a lot about magical personalities in French culture such as Honoré de Balzac, Robert Bresson, and Jacques Tati.

Not only am I learning faster than ever, but I’m relaxed and having fun all the way through (and I’m sure Pauline’s laughter is sincere!).

Not only did I reach my C1 level in French thanks to Pauline, I also have my own way of learning more efficiently. I particularly appreciate the way Pauline encourages us. In my case, I have made enormous progress, especially in the context of academic writing.
Pauline is a multi-talented FLE coach, the learning goes beyond the language. Her school Speak up French is a nugget that I highly recommend to all francophiles. Thank you so much for your support and for bringing out the best in your students!
