French courses & resources for all

My story

Bonjour, I'm Françoise

I’m a native French tutor from Brittany and have lived in the UK since 1996.

Since 2012, I’ve helped adults and teenagers achieve their French goals through flexible CEFR-aligned courses. Whether preparing for Common Entrance, GCSE, A Level, travel, work, or personal enrichment, lessons are tailored to individual needs. 

 

After a career in pharmaceutical research, learning Spanish inspired me to retrain as a French teacher at Goldsmiths, University of London.

 

My research background continues to shape my teaching, helping me create structured courses and resources that build confidence and steady progress.

How I help learners succeed

To support learning beyond lessons, I created Languistique, a French-learning ecosystem that includes:

  • 1,200+ video tutorials
  • Course companion learner packs
  • Self-study resources
  • Teaching resources to complement lessons with a local teacher

Alongside teaching, I create resources that help learners understand real-world French and the culture behind it.

Living outside France has given me a fresh perspective on French language and culture, which I share through both my teaching and Languistique.

As a language learner myself, I understand the challenges of learning a new language. That’s why my drive is to make French learning structured, enjoyable, and confidence-building, while helping learners connect with the language and culture.

I’d love to help you or your child achieve your French language goals.

 

À bientôt,

Françoise

What learners say

"Françoise tutored my son for one and half years for his St Paul's scholarship exam. She is a very dedicated, hard working teacher and she made specific resources for my son that greatly improved his French writing abilities for his exams. Thanks to her, my son was able to get his scholarship and for anyone who is looking for a French tutor she is the right person."  
"(...) My French has improved immeasurably since I started, and I've particularly enjoyed learning about the cultural aspects of French life."
"Francoise has recently helped two of my daughters prepare for French oral exams - ranging from Common Entrance to A Levels. She manages to make her lessons interesting and fun and has been fantastic at providing useful background materials. I cannot recommend her highly enough."
'Francoise structures and delivers her french lessons in a way that caters for all styles of learning. She takes the time to find out your personal interests and builds them into the modules so you feel connected with the learning. It's allowed me the confidence to hold conversations in French in social environments whilst holidaying and working in France. '
