WORDS FROM MY STUDENTSA Place to Learn Without Fear.
“What I loved most about learning with Chrystele is how comfortable she made me feel.”
“She noticed where I needed more help, explained things in a way that made sense to me, and knew when to push me a little outside of my comfort zone.”
— Princess, Frencholistic student

They Once Doubted They Could Do It

You can too, with my French tutoring & coaching for American expats in France.
From zero to intermediate
in just 6 months
“Chrystèle is a wonderful teacher who is encouraging and pays attention to detail. With her, I have learned most of A1 in the past 6 months from knowing almost no French. She uses an organized way of progressing through French… I feel as though she has laid a strong foundation for me to continue progressing towards fluency.”
After just 6 months of lessons, she was placed in an intermediate class at her boarding school in France

Fun daily activities made French finally stick
“I’ve been working with Chrystele to improve my French writing, and it has been so fun! I went to a French immersion school for four years, so I understood French well, but I used to write mostly phonetically. Chrystele has been helping me expand my vocabulary and really understand grammar and spelling. She also encourages me to use French in my daily life through small written activities, which has really helped it stick.”

I went from anxious to fluent
in everyday life
“When I started lessons with Chrystèle, I was preparing to move to Paris and felt anxious about my French. Instead of rote memorization, she guided me to acquire French step by step through pronunciation, writing, speaking, and using it in real-life contexts. Now French is part of my daily life — I can talk with my landlord, order easily, and connect with French friends.”
