French Native Speaker : Conversation, grammar & Fluency Coach

Sophie B.

I am a French tutor and native French speaker with over 20 years of teaching experience helping students learn French, improve French grammar, and develop confident conversational French skills. I specialize in French conversation practice, French pronunciation, and helping students speak French naturally in real-life situations.
I was born in France in a multilingual household and grew up speaking multiple languages, later mastering five languages through academic study and immersion. I studied languages at Paris Nanterre University (DEUG in languages), earned a BA from Santa Monica College, and completed an International Business degree at ESAM.
My French lessons focus on conversational French, French grammar, vocabulary building, and real-world communication. I help students move beyond memorization so they can speak French fluently and confidently.
I have experience teaching French to beginners, intermediate learners, advanced students, children, and adults. My students include private learners and group classes, and I have also successfully taught my own children to become fluent in French speaking, reading, and writing.
As a French language tutor, I tailor each lesson to your goals—whether you want to learn French for travel, improve French conversation skills, strengthen French grammar, or achieve fluency.
I also incorporate techniques from mindfulness, yoga, and focus training to help students reduce anxiety when speaking French and improve retention.
My goal is to help you learn French, speak French confidently, and enjoy the learning process.
