Bonjour, moi c’est Eliane.

I’m a native French speaker from the sunny South of France — a charming seaside town called Fréjus, just down the coast from beautiful Nice. 🇫🇷

I’ve been teaching since 2012 and have worked with learners of all ages and levels. My lessons are interactive, full of culture, and designed to make you feel French — not just sound it.

MY STORY

A Life Across Francophone Cultures

My journey with French has taken me all around the world — from my childhood in a francophone African country, to the South of France, to my master’s studies in Montréal, to my current home under the California sunshine. Along the way, I’ve discovered how beautiful, vibrant, and alive the French language truly is — and I love sharing that passion with my students!

Whether it’s through music, travel, film, or everyday conversation, I’ll help you speak naturally and confidently. Learning French with me is more than just grammar and vocabulary — it’s an adventure into culture, laughter, and connection.

FRENCH IN REAL LIFE

The Joy of Learning French

My biggest joy is seeing my students thrive — from travelers who can finally chat effortlessly at a café in Paris☕️ to those who’ve made the leap and moved to France! Having lived in France, Belgium, Canada, and across francophone cultures, I bring a global flavor to my teaching.

Learning French with me is more than just grammar and vocabulary — it’s an adventure into culture, laughter, and connection. Ready to say bonjour to a new way of learning French? Let’s make it fun, easy, and unforgettable!
