One-to-one French courses
I offer one-to-one online courses to help you settle into your daily, private and sporting life in France. We will work on several topics according to your needs and create your learning path together. I try to introduce the "flipped classroom", that is to say guided personal work before each lesson to enable us to practice as much as possible during the lesson.
Thematic working group
During the thematic working groups, we will try, with a group of three or four students, to respond to a concrete problem you encounter in the various spheres of your expatriate life. Depending on the theme, I will set up simulation exercises or more practical and technical answers. Enrolment is on an à la carte basis, so you'll probably meet students who are not part of your class group.
My services
Group French courses
Within the group, you will be associated with two or three other students of the same level, with whom you will share not only the lessons but also a discussion group to communicate between each lesson. Apart from that, the lessons will be similar in form and preparation to private lessons.
Conversation courses
In conversation classes, you'll also be associated with two or three other students of the same level. You will have the opportunity to practice as much as possible, with real-life interactions based on everyday life, private life or sporting life. A few documents will be sent to you before each lesson to familiarize you with the subject and make exchanges more fluid. No further preparation is required.
Olympic games
"French" sprint
Within the framework of Olympic Games of Paris 2024, I am offering a tailor-made program for athletes and members of the technical staff who will be taking part in the competition. Several modules will be proposed to meet your specific needs and teach you the basics of French that will serve you well in July and August 2024.
Warm-up booklet
To put you on this program, I offer you this introductory booklet. Inside, you'll find various sections to help you discover useful vocabulary and expressions which will be useful as soon as you will set foot in Paris next year.

Bonjour, je suis Zoé !
Expatriation
I've always loved traveling. After several stays abroad, I settled in Argentina for two years. Since 2021, I've been living on Reunion Island, an overseas department in the Indian Ocean.
Teaching experience
I worked for a publishing house for three years, producing school books for French-speaking African countries. After giving French conversation and support classes in Argentina, I took a training course to improve my teaching skills. I then worked for several months in a secondary school with immigrant teenagers. Since moving to Reunion Island, I've been working as a freelance teacher, giving face-to-face and online lessons.
Languages
I have always been very interested in language courses. I learned Italian and English at school and went to the US to improve my English. I learned Spanish directly in South America, thanks to a language course and my daily practice. It was also in Argentina that I started giving French lessons to my friends.
Sport
Sport has played an important role in my family for several generations: there are sports journalists, semi-professional athletes... I have been involved in many sports myself, with a predilection for savate and skydiving. Sport in general is a talking point and I love to attend competitions, listen on the radio or watch on TV.

Zoe
Flora
Zoe’s teaching has allowed me to integrate into society and make friends in a language that I did not speak. She provides a fun and loving learning environment that is the opposite to all the boring courses out there. I love that we don’t follow a boring, set curriculum, but that she instead always centres the learning around me, my interests and my individual challenges. Thanks to her genuine interest to progress my skills, I could learn what no school teacher, book or course could ever teach me in all my previous attempts. Learning from Zoé means being able to have real conversations, which made my life in France a lot less scary and much more enjoyable. She is also a really cool person and our lessons are something that I truly look forward to! If you want to learn French from someone who is fun, passionate and knowledgable, it has to be Zoé.
I love French classes with Zoé, I learn lots, she asks lots of questions and the hour just flies by because we are enjoying it so much. Definitely the most fun French teacher I’ve had.
Zoe is an amazing teacher! She is kind, patient and creative, and really encourages you to push your language skills further. She tailors her lessons to fit your personal language goals, is very astute when it comes to identifying areas for improvement, without ever being discouraging. Her lessons are always well structured, and she covers everything from grammar to current affairs. She is also a great conversation partner. I have grown in confidence with my French abilities so much thanks to her. I would recommend her to anyone, and any future student is lucky to have her!
