Want to speak French?
I'm here to help!
In a methodical yet relaxed way, I help you progress at your own pace and gain confidence while enjoying the learning process.
Who am I?
A lawyer by training and the spouse of a diplomat, I had the opportunity to live in several countries around the world for 17 years. At each new destination, learning the local language was a natural choice: a powerful way to build connections, integrate, and most importantly, resonate with a different culture and way of thinking.
​
Back in Brussels in 2022, I naturally felt the urge to share my native language, French. To do so with both rigor and a solid teaching methodology, I completed a specialized training program (DAEFLE) to
professionalize my teaching of French as a foreign language.
Today, drawing on my international experience and this training, I help learners from all backgrounds to develop their French skills, through personalized lessons. My aim is to help them gain real confidence in using French in their daily lives, whether personal or professional.
My approach
My goal: to give you the desire and confidence to communicate in French!
​
I strive to bring out the best of your abilities in a supportive, stimulating environment that respects your individual pace.
Beyond grammar rules and linguistic nuances, what I truly aim to share is the joy of speaking French, expressing yourself accurately, and feeling comfortable in all kinds of everyday or professional situations.
Whether you are a complete beginner, looking to strengthen your foundations, or aiming for greater fluency in a personal or professional context, I adapt each lesson to your personality, specific needs, and goals.
About my courses
I offer tailor-made lessons based on each learner’s level, needs, and goals — either one-on-one or, if desired, in small groups of two or three. I use a wide variety of materials, including reference books, news articles, documentaries, music, exercises, and more.
​
Lessons take place either in person at my home in Brussels (Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, near Montgomery), or online via video conferencing.
Rates and packages vary depending on the number of participants and the frequency of lessons, ranging from €25 to €40 per hour. Please contact me for detailed information.

I didn't speak French at all and now I feel confident speaking with people in town. Anne-Marie's classes are very well organized and interesting, with a good mix of texts, exercises and conversation.

I like the classes with Anne-Marie; they are interesting and inspiring, and they help me regain my confidence in speaking French. I'd recommend her for anyone who would like to have a fun and creative language teacher to improve their French!
