TEF & TCF Preparation · Adult French Instruction

Your French May Be Better Than Your Score.

If you're stuck at CLB 5 or 6, the problem may not be your level. You may be speaking too little, developing your ideas too vaguely, or relying on memorized templates that don't sound natural. I'll help you turn what you already know into clear, convincing French—and give you the tools, strategy, and honest feedback you need to work toward CLB 7.

About

French Teaching That Finds the Real Problem.

You've studied French.
You know the grammar.
You have the vocabulary.

But when it's time to speak, your ideas become shorter, less precise, and less natural.

That's where I come in.

With a background in Speech-Language Therapy and a specialization in TEF and TCF preparation, I identify what is limiting your performance—from pronunciation and oral clarity to underdeveloped answers and unnatural templates.

Then we work on it. Directly. Strategically. Consistently.

So your French doesn't just improve.

It finally shows.
