Meet your coaches.
Violaine
Co-founder & French coach
From Madrid to Bucharest, Violaine has taught in very different classrooms: a Spanish primary school, then the Institut français of Romania where she prepared students for the DELF B2. With her, no topic is off limits: everyday life, current affairs, the big questions. Students leave her lessons having said things in French they didn’t think they could.
“The conversations with Violaine are fun and stretch my vocabulary. I really want to learn how she keeps a conversation going so fluidly.”
“After every lesson with Violaine, I feel a sense of success, achievement and progress.”
“Violaine is the most qualified teacher out there. It requires lots of experience and patience to keep the conversation flow — she did a perfect job.”
“Violaine is eloquently articulate, immensely supportive, exquisitely patient, highly well-informed and most importantly pushes you to articulate your thoughts in French.”
Nathan
Co-founder & French coach
Nathan prepared Spanish middle schoolers for the DELF B1-B2, then found himself teaching French to NATO officers in Sibiu, Romania. Two radically different contexts that taught him one thing: every learner has their own way of learning, and that’s what drives him.
“For advanced learners who want to thrive in both formal and informal settings, classes with Nathan are the way to go. He seamlessly links conversations to grammar.”
“Nathan is an excellent teacher. Very thorough and makes sure that new concepts are consolidated. I really enjoy his calm, professional manner.”
“Nathan is simply the best teacher I’ve ever had for French — and I’ve had quite a few, both online and in academic settings.”
“Thanks to Nathan, I’ve noticed enormous progress in my ability to vary my language. His detailed feedback has taken my written expression to the next level.”
