By the way… have we met?
I’m Maelle, language and culture enthusiast ready to make you love learning French.
My experience as a French teacher started in 2018, working in the Alliance Française of Chiclayo in Peru for six months, teaching children and adults from beginner to advanced level. Since then, I settled in Valladolid, Spain, and have been working to make the experience of learning French a fun and interesting one for everyone. I want you to learn the French that you will use in real life!
For five years I have had a wide range of experiences from private classes to groups, from schools to companies, in person and online (since 2019), for all kinds of levels and goals.
I’ve always loved languages and cultures, that’s why I decided to study and get a Master's in Cross-cultural Management. I’ve specialised in teaching French to foreigners as I’m convinced that when you can communicate with someone in their own language, your perspective on their culture and their beliefs can completely shift.
Over these 5 years, I’ve helped around a hundred students improve their French to grow personally (relationships, trips, living in France, ...), and professionally (working with French-speaking colleagues, passing an exam to have a promotion, etc.).
My students always feel heard and are grateful for my patience and the possibility to make mistakes without judgment. (and there’s no improvement without mistakes!)
I’m really curious and care about a lot of subjects. Besides, I’m always open to new experiences. I can’t wait to hear you talk about your story, passions, and/or cultural background!
-
You will receive an email to schedule the eight sessions. Once this is done you will receive some tips on actions to take before our first session.
-
You decide how much time you want to dedicate to it.
Ideally, you should spend at least one to two hours learning on your own (grammar, listening, reading,…). Try to aim for 20-30 minutes a day instead of a big chunk of time once a week. The more time the better!
-
As long as you have a good internet connection and a quiet(ish) environment, you’re good to go!
-
You’ve wanted to improve your French for some time (sometimes years!) but cannot seem to do it on your own. If you think it’s a good idea, it’s the right time! There will never be a time when you have more free time to do it if you don’t dedicate time to it.
As long as you’re interested everything will go well.
-
You can get an idea of my availability by looking at the time slots for the discovery calls and the coffee breaks.
I try to diversify the times but it will depend on my availability at the moment.
I’ve worked with people based on different continents, from Korea to the US so there’s a good possibility we’ll be able to make it work.
-
You can always reschedule or cancel a class as long as you do it 24 hours in advance.
If you inform me less than 24 hours before our class or don’t show up, the session will be charged.
In the same way, if I reschedule or cancel a class less than 24 hours before, I will offer you another free session.
-
To see more results I would recommend doing the sessions weekly, so over the course of two months. However, as our schedules can be complicated I give the possibility to use these sessions for three months.
-
Of course! Just mention it in the questionnaire when booking a kick-off call so I can have a better idea of what you’re looking for and how we can work together.
You can also send me a message below.
-
This offer has been made for individual tutoring. For group sessions, there is the coffee breaks offer.
If that’s not what you’re looking for, please contact me so that we can tailor an offer adapted to your shared needs and goals.
-
You can only start the sessions with me once you’ve paid for the whole package.
-
I do not offer any full or partial refunds. I am committed to showing up for you and giving you all the support you need and expect you to commit to the same.
-
Me! Although the content I use to work with you on specific points can come from a variety of sources, I will be the one following you from start to finish.
-
You can book a kick-off call for individual coaching to talk about your needs and goals.
If you’re interested in the coffee breaks, you can directly book your spot for the session(s) that interest you and we’ll see each other there.
-
Of course not! This is an ongoing offer. You can benefit from it whenever you want.
That said: I can’t guarantee that the pricing won’t increase or that my availability will always work well for you. So making it happen sooner rather than later is recommended.
-
Of course! You just have to choose the time that works best for you on my calendar. You will have to fill a small questionnaire to complete the registration.
This call is free and commitment-free.
