I am a French native speaker with over 30 years of experience teaching French as a foreign language and as a second or third language.

I teach students of all ages, from preschoolers to adults, as well as all levels from novice to fluent.

I have been teaching students in school settings (elementary, middle and high schools) and also privately teaching students who are schooled or homeschooled in addition to adult students from private businesses.

As a French native speaker, I will teach you the correct French pronunciation, understood in all francophone countries, as well as the cultural aspects of learning the language, in addition to speaking, writing, reading, and understanding, along with grammar skills.

I will tailor the lessons to your needs whether you want to learn the language for pleasure, business or any other reasons.

French

My first experience teaching French as a foreign language was when I still lived in France as a teenager. I really enjoyed doing it and decided to continue on that path when I moved to the USA. I have taught French to anglophones as well as people from other areas including Asian countries (Character based languages). I also have experience teaching students from francophone countries who live in the USA. My strength is not only in teaching French vocabulary and grammar but also in teaching the culture associated with it.

Excellent teacher!

Madame Conant has been teaching me French for more than three years with hopefully many more to come. She is patient, highly knowledgeable and lots of fun. I greatly look forward to our weekly sessions. I feel very lucky to have connected with her. It would be impossible to do better!

Everything you could want in a tutor!

Madame Cathrine has every quality one could ask for in a tutor. She’s not only has years of experience teaching French as a native speaker, but provides a safe space to learn and grow with a new language. You can tell right away that she loves what she does, her all around kindness and expertise in teaching has been a big motivation to keep up my lessons. While I have a long way to go in my goal of being fluent (I had started lessons knowing basically nothing), I am so much more confident now in openly speaking, reading, and writing. I could not recommend a better person for your journey to learn French!

Catherine is excellent.

I've had several lessons with Madame Catherine now, and each time she goes above and beyond to teach me in way that I understand, and most importantly her teaching stays with you because she explains not only what you should do, but why. I would (and do) highly recommend her if you need to learn French.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Catherine is an outstanding tutor. She is extremely knowledgeable of both the language and culture of France. The lessons combine learning grammar with practicing conversation, and are accompanied by very helpful exercises. I look forward to the class each week. I highly recommend Catherine to anyone who wishes to learn French or improve their language skills.

10/10 Teacher!

Catherine is an excellent teacher. I’d recommend her to anyone looking to learn French as a new language or improve upon their current foundation.

Caring and patient tutor

Catherine is patient with my 14 y/o son. He is a little shy and she is able to bring him out of his shell and increase his participation rate, which helps with his French grade at school.

PHILLIP, 108 lessons with Catherine

The best French tutor ever

My daughter is blessed to have a chance to learn French from Catherine. In less than 10 lessons, she has make a lot of progress, I can tell. Starting from zero, she can now comfortably speak French with Catherine. Instead of rushing through work, Catherine does a bit of revision tactfully every lesson, patiently correct my daughter’s accent and vividly teach her the rules of French grammar. Catherine never miss checking my daughter’s homework. Catherine has built up a very strong foundation in French for my daughter. I will strongly recommend her to anyone who is serious about French learning.

Great lesson and tutor!

Catherine was so great! I’ve only had one lesson so far but I plan to continue with regularly scheduled sessions with her and hope to greatly improve my French! She was friendly and I loved her teaching approach!

Great French tutor!

Catherine's teaching style and commitment to students success by regular follow ups and tuning the classes to students needs makes her a great teacher. She helped our son from the beginning of the freshman year and played a key role in his good grades. Thanks, Catherine!
