I have been taking French lessons with Agnes for almost three and a half years now, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.
One of the things I particularly appreciate is the flexibility of her approach. Whether you have the opportunity to meet in person in Paris or prefer the convenience of online lessons, Agnes makes learning both effective and enjoyable. What started for me as online lessons has evolved into a long-term learning journey that fits seamlessly into a busy professional life. The ability to continue lessons online so easily and consistently has been invaluable.
When I first started, I had little to no knowledge of French. Thanks to Agnes’ highly personalized, structured, and engaging teaching style, I can now confidently hold business conversations in French. Of course, I still make a lot of mistakes, but my clients appreciate the effort, and it often leads to enjoyable exchanges and shared smiles.
Every lesson is tailored to my individual goals, interests, and professional needs, making the learning process both productive and genuinely enjoyable. The sessions are dynamic, motivating, and the time always seems to fly by.
If you are looking for a professional, friendly, and highly effective French teacher, I can wholeheartedly recommend Agnes. Whether you are a complete beginner, an advanced learner, or someone who values the flexibility of combining in-person lessons in Paris with the practicality of continuing online, Agnes provides an exceptional learning experience.
She is an outstanding teacher, and I am deeply grateful for everything I have learned with her over the past three and a half years.

I’ve been working with Agnes for over a year. She’s such a great teacher. She tailors each lesson to the area of focus you need or request and then gives you corresponding work between lessons. She’s so patient and understanding when you aren’t prepared or just aren’t getting it.

She did a fantastic job preparing me for a DELF exam. We had done many practice scenarios so I was well prepared for both the content and the format of the testing.

I’ve recently moved to France and she’s also answering my integration questions and has helped me role play new situations such as the dry cleaner, the cheese shop, the produce market and so on. She’s helped me feel more comfortable speaking and interacting in french.

I highly recommend Agnes as a teacher, I feel lucky to be working with her.

My husband and I recently completed a series of 10 weekly French classes with Agnes, and it was a wonderful experience. Agnes is kind, patient and encouraging, which made learning a new language feel approachable and enjoyable.

What I appreciated most was how practical and relevant the classes were. Rather than focusing only on textbook material, Agnes tailored each session to real life situations we expect to encounter during our travels. We practiced useful conversations like asking for directions, ordering in restaurants, exchanging pleasantries, and talking about things like the weather and time.

Agnes created a relaxed and supportive environment where we felt comfortable making mistakes and improving week to week. I highly recommend these classes to anyone looking for a practical, travel focused French classes with a thoughtful and skilled instructor.

I began with zero French, and Agnes has been wonderful at meeting me exactly where I am. I’ve loved my weekly one-on-one lessons — she’s kind, attentive, and incredibly organized. After every session, she sends all the worksheets, exercises, and notes right away, which makes it easy to review and keep improving between lessons. Highly recommend!

Agnès taught me in the lead-up to my preparation for the French TCF exam. She is organised, patient, and very friendly. She cuts through the noise and is highly flexible, tailoring lessons to focus on your specific goals and learning needs to help you achieve the best results. After each lesson, she provides clear feedback along with targeted homework to address areas that need improvement. I would highly recommend Agnès to anyone learning French at any level.

Agnes taught my husband and I over the course of 3 months and we enjoyed the lessons very much even though they took us out of our comfort zone.  Agnes was patient and friendly and tailored the lessons to what we wanted to learn and improve on.  We learnt many new things and will put everything she taught us into practice.  We will definately use Agnes again in the future.

Agnes is so wonderful! I was doing group classes before this, and have noticed such a difference in my engagement, understanding, and focus after switching out. The biggest benefit, I think, is having someone to ask very specific questions to each week. We also devote time each week to conversation, which was very in line with my goals for French.  Agnes is well equipped with dozens of worksheets on every topic, and responds to messages very promptly. Could not recommend more!
