Do you repeat the same errors again and again?
Are there key points of French that you understand but cannot use?
Do you still have trouble making yourself understood in French?
Do you often feel limited in your expression?

You repeat the same mistakes – the ones your friends or colleagues don’t correct – and you don’t know what to focus on to really improve. Little by little, you lose motivation and efficiency!

3 types of coaching
- Level up: You want to improve your level and gain clarity of expression and comprehension; you want to express yourself in a more natural way, enhance your vocabulary, and master the different registers of language in order to manage all the situations of your social life in French.
- DELF DALF TEF TCF Prep exam: You are preparing an exam for your professional career, to integrate into a French university, or for immigration. You wish to train for specific tests, conduct mock exams, acquire winning methodologies, and strategies to obtain the best score.
- Literature: You want to read and discover some modern or classical authors of French literature; you would like to explore French culture and history through literature and learn to analyze all literary genres. The works of Albert Camus, Marcel Proust, Boris Vian or even Denis Diderot (to name a few) are just waiting for you!
Speak Up French’s method
Action: All learning is based on action and regularity. To learn is to train yourself until it is natural. And it can be as fun as engaging! To get from point A to point B, you need to take action, and most importantly, you need to know what actions to take. I have built the systems and strategies that help you to become an excellent communicator in French.
Community: There is nothing like a community of peers to exchange and motivate each other. Join the private group to meet other motivated learners, ask your questions, participate in weekly exercises, quizzes, debates, and challenges! It’s a safe place to be bold, explore, and move forward in your French language journey.

DELF/DALF success
I have been learning French for about two years now (intermittently), and I have tried several different teachers. I have found that Pauline’s classes really make a difference in terms of preparation and professionalism.
She always prepares each class carefully and adapts them according to my goals and objectives. I especially like the fact that she tries to challenge me rather than make the classes too easy, which is the case with other teachers. Above all, she is very patient, which is handy for all those little grammar and pronunciation mistakes that are an integral part of learning a new language. I highly recommend Pauline.
I started with her when I was at the A1/A2 level (beginner) and I progressed a lot with her. I think the greatest testimony to her teaching is that my French contacts complimented me on my progress, which is rare for some Francophones! 🙂 Thank you very much, Pauline.
Pauline is one of the most competent and patient teachers I have had the pleasure of working with. My classes with her were unanimously entertaining and interesting, and I left each one with something new to practice. I highly recommend her classes, even if it means less availability for me!
I really enjoy my weekly classes with Pauline, and I always look forward to the next one. Continuing to progress and improve in French beyond an intermediate level has been challenging – sometimes frustrating for me – but Pauline has a very encouraging teaching style and makes each lesson interesting and relevant.
Pauline adapts the lessons to my learning needs and language goals, whether it is reading and discussing articles on current events and French culture or helping me prepare for my next DELF exam. I feel more confident in my ability to express myself in French since I started working with Pauline, and I highly recommend her to others interested in moving on to the next level in their French. She is an excellent partner in my French language journey!
