Redefine the way you learn French.
As a Parisian by birth and at heart, French is my native language. I’m passionate about the different cultures around us and about travel: I’ve lived in London, New York, Brazil… which has allowed me to become bilingual in English.
Teaching French is much more than a job, it’s a passion. By nature, I’m enthusiastic and joyful: I prefer to teach in a playful and lively manner. I’m a true Gemini, curious about everything around me, from storytelling to nutrition, tennis to AI, financial investments to photography… I’m an eternal learner.

Meet your future
French coach
During my studies at business school, I realized my international classmates were struggling to make French friends because their French classes didn’t reflect the way we, French locals, actually speak in everyday life.
In 2020, in the middle of the global health crisis, I began helping expatriates and professionals who needed to feel comfortable, perform in their professional lives & feel confident in their new French expat life.
Through my experiences and feedback from my dear students, I developed an interactive, dynamic and fully made-to-measure coaching method. My background in international marketing and sales provides a teaching approach connected to the corporate world. Each session is designed around your level, goals and your professional reality. Even more than this: I hope you’ll see in me a trusted ally in your new adventure. I can’t wait to offer you a fun & exciting French learning experience to achieve your goals.
A bientôt !
Wendy
EVER EVER
Never feel lost in French conversations again
Spoiler alert: Duolingo won’t make you fluent in French. You maybe learn a ton of vocabulary butttt… you’re not in real-life conditions to use it. It doesn’t prepare you for spontaneous reactions, it doesn’t teach you French slang or how people really pronounce things in everyday speech.
If you are
preparing for a relocation to France
collaborating with French-speaking teams or clients
already living in France and you’re not French independant yet
a Francophile that enjoys French language
If this your case
you’ve been in France for a long time and your French skills prevent you from building relationships
you can’t find the time and the discipline to follow a regular learning program alone
you lack confidence in French discussions
you finally dare to ask a question in French… but you freeze when they answer
then it’s a match!
AN EXCLUSIVE COACHING method
The French coaching experience
Everybody has different needs when it comes to learning a language. What makes the difference here is personal support and human connection. Where most language courses offer ready-to-wear, this is a Haute Couture coaching. What Wendy offers here is a fully customized private coaching with cutting-edge teaching tools. Get ready for a dynamic, effective and anything but boring coaching!

what French books will never teach you
Speak like locals,
not like textbooks
There are hundreds of AI apps, conventional schools and textbooks for learning French. If you’re here, it’s because you’re looking for something different. It’s like training at the gym: before you can master the exercises, you need a coach to guide you and correct your deeply ingrained mistakes.
Nothing replaces a conversation with a real French speaker.
No app can truly correct you, hold a real-life conversation with you or teach you to be spontaneous with French locals (maybe one day but not yet). Wendy will strengthen your speaking reflexes and prepares you for live reactions of French people (okay, most of them).
The topics that actually matter to you.
The French coaching is built around you, your challenges, your interests, your professional reality. The goal is for you to learn a practical, authentic French and the expressions that fits your daily life.
You want to talk about economics? Technology? Well-being? Marketing? Wendy will surprise you with her endless curiosity and open-mindedness (as long as you don’t talk to her about matcha). It’s a joke.
You won’t envy French speakers for long.
Wendy has walked this path hundreds of times, with hundreds of students, rebuilding confidence step by step and reaching real, concrete victories along the way.
Each session comes with preparation work beforehand and follow-up after so progress continues between sessions. For this, you’ll have access to your personalized flashcard review platform, French on the go, that will make you lose the desire to scroll through Instagram and Tik Tok!
TESTIMONIALS
They achieved
their goals!
Find out what learners have to say about their coaching experience with Wendy:
Wendy is an incredible Tutor. I would recommend her anytime without a second thought. Our french sessions are customised, to the point, and extremely interesting. Her deep understanding of the language, renders her capable of answering my most peculiar questions with ease. The courses are well structured and adapted to my knowledge which makes the learning curve gentle, challenging but never discouraging. But what I really love about Wendy is the positive energy she brings to every season making it a fun experience. I should not forget to mention her interactive ways of introducing me to the french culture like no-one else did before.

Wendy is an excellent teacher. She is very personable, and is very sharp and diligent, and passionate about what she does.

I’m so glad I found Wendy! She makes every French lesson fun and as well as covering the core foundations of the language, she’s introduced me to conversational words and phrases that French people use on a day-to-day basis – it makes you feel like you’re learning real French instead of a rigid, by-the-book version of the language. She’s also super organised, offering tools and a platform where you can find all the materials you need for further learning, from exercises to film and music recommendations. If you’d like to learn to speak French like a local, I couldn’t recommend her enough 🙂

YOUR FUTURE PARTNERSHIP
How will the collaboration work?
Wendy created a space where confidence grows through real conversations, engaging tools and real-life situations practice. Here’s how your collaboration will work:
1
Voluntary and motivated learners
This method is for those who truly want to progress. Even if Wendy has developed an effective coaching method, it’s not a magic pill. To maximize your chances, you need to be prepared to get involved during and between the lessons!
2
We start with a discovery session
There is a trial session with each learner to assess their level, understand their needs and make sure the coaching relationship is the right fit. A coach can totally engage you and make you appreciate a new discipline… or it can be the exact opposite. The feeling is subjective and it is necessary that both parties are willing to commit together: you will spend time together and it must stay a pleasure, for both of you!
3
We set your format and rhythm
We design your learning format around you: individual sessions, group classes or a mix of both. We also set the rhythm to match your schedule and your goals!
