I’m a French native speaker with extensive experience in teaching French to American students. With me, you’ll practice all areas of the language, through demystified grammar and contemporary culture.

I've been studying French with Claire for about a year and a half. I did have some knowledge of French from high school and college, but I struggled with more complex conversations and honestly, with being too nervous to even attempt a simple one.

After studying with Claire, my confidence is so much higher. And I'm having more advanced conversations and reading French books and magazines for fun (and with ease).

Claire explains the sometimes complicated grammar rules in a clear and simple way. And she's patient and non-judgmental (even when I make the same mistake for three months straight).

After this past year and a half, I can't wait to go back to France so I can practice everything I've learned. All thanks to Claire!

My experience with Claire as a teacher has been great! I feel like I've advanced leaps since I started taking lessons, and I notice it in both my speaking and comprehension. If you want a fun and engaging lesson, look no further!

Claire is a smart, attentive, empathic person, who thinks carefully about language and how to teach it.
