MEET THE EDUCATOR

Bienvenue to Frencholistic! I'm Chrystele, your go-to partner for conquering the French language. For the past ten years, I've been on a mission to empower countless American learners, guiding them with expertise and a touch of genuine warmth.

Let's face it: learning to speak French while living in a place where no one around you speaks the language can be pretty daunting. Despite months or years of dedication, progress can sometimes feel like a slow and frustrating journey. We've all been tempted by promises of quick results from new methods or apps, only to find them falling short as we move beyond the beginner stage.

Becoming fluent requires (unfortunately!) more than memorizing words, following a textbook, or relying on language apps like Duolingo. Through my experience teaching French to Americans, I've learned that there's no magical shortcut, but a holistic and strategic approach can truly make a difference.

In a nutshell, it's about developing effective language learning strategies and finding those key inputs that bring the best results for you. From mastering pronunciation to understanding cultural nuances while keeping you motivated and giving you confidence, my coaching goes beyond the classroom, providing you with the essential tools for real-world communication.

With a deep understanding of Americans' challenges in becoming fluent in French, I am here every step of the way to help you reach your goals.

My encouraging and personalized approach and commitment to kindness, integrity, and inclusivity will ensure you feel seen and safe. If this sounds good, join me to start your new adventure!
