About the lesson
My teaching method is based on my students' needs. If they are looking to improve their oral skills I'll initiate a debate inspired by a painting or a song or even the latest news. If they need to reinforce their writing skills, we will work on structure and arguments inspired by dynamic resources as well.

Grâce à Céline j’ai amélioré ma maitrise du français. Je peux tenir une conversation, trouver les bons mots et eviter les erreurs.
Mon évolution est significative je peux dire qu’elle m’a fait atteindre mes objectifs. Elle est excellente pédagogue !It’s been such a delight learning how to speak French with Celine guiding me throughout this whole journey.
She has such a warm presence that automatically puts you at ease, so any fear of making mistakes grammatically or mispronouncing words go out the door. What I had initially though was going to be a very daunting and intimidating weekly task (learning French), is now my absolute, favorite part of the week. Highly recommend Celine!
Celine's passion to teach french is palpable, her method are clear and simple. She makes you feel comfortable with a language that is known to be difficult and most importantly she will give you the confidence you need to achieve the "frenchy" goal, I highly recommend her, you'll be speaking Victor Hugo's language in no time, Merci Céline !
Celine is a great French teacher. She is very devoted and creative in the exercises she proposes. Learning a new language can be challenging. She makes it light and enjoyable enough to make you stick to it and continue! Thank you Celine

01
1) Do you speak this language fluently because of your origins or because a teacher inspired you to learn?
French is my first language.
02
2) Can you name a living, historical or fictional character that you think is the emblematic representative of the language's culture?
Edith Piaf is, in my opinion, the most iconic artist from France. Everyone knows her music and lyrics, from France and beyond. Even if you don't understand French, you can sing (or hum) La vie en rose! and feel the poetics.
03
3) Is there a typical word, phrase, tradition or behavior in the language that you particularly like?
"Du coup," which means 'then/therefore…'
04
4) Why does speaking this language matter to you?
It gives me a real appreciation of the cultures of French-speaking countries -- their histories, their tastes, way of thinking. French is a tool I can use to discover 29 countries at least!
French also helps to easily learn other Latin-based languages.05
5) What is the main difficulty in learning this language and what can help the process of learning?
Grammar is difficult because of its many irregularities though it is very structured. What helps is practice, of course, but also learning tricks and tips for more ease.
06
6) Provide a valuable anecdote related to your language learning or your days at school.
I remember my French teacher giving me a 19/20 for an essay, because he was not used to giving 20/20. The French are known for their discipline and rigorous thinking, which helped me succeed later in life.
07
7) How has travel or a specific trip helped you to increase your skill and knowledge of the language?
Visiting Canada, Louisiana and Senegal opened up my eyes to other French speaking cultures. I learned beautiful words and expressions in Senegal that I never heard in France. I also learned a lot about Creole: the language, cuisine, thinking! And then there's Québec, where I felt like a complete foreigner!
08
8) What makes you a Superprof in language?
I am an expert in French.
I founded an award-winning editorial agency in three languages. I worked for years in the publishing industry, in literature and education specifically.
I am also passionate about the language and I like to play with it and all its forms -- which is what I hope to impart.
On a more personal level, I have great patience. I am also a very good listener and choose relevant, interactive resources in line with my student's interests.
