About Elise
Native French, based in Melbourne. Master's in French Literature, after two years of intensive French literary preparatory classes (Hypokhagne / Khagne) - one of France's most rigorous academic tracks. 4+ years private tutoring. Also a published journalist for major French, Belgian, and French-Australian publications - so I teach the French of real writing and real culture - alive, current, useful.

Hello!
French shouldn't sound like homework. It should sound like you - confident in a Paris meeting, comfortable ordering wine in Bordeaux, fluent enough to lose a friendly debate in Lyon.
I offer French conversation classes for adult learners with some prior French - who want to speak more naturally, more confidently, and about the things that actually matter to them.
How a class works:
We talk. About your interests, your week, your work, whatever we want to explore that day. As we go, I take notes on the mistakes you make, new vocabulary that comes up, and phrases worth remembering. You get those notes after class to review on your own time.
The following week, we start by reusing the vocabulary from the last session - so it actually sticks - then move into new territory. We work on pronunciation as we go. You have my full focus for the whole session.
What we can talk about:
Sessions are shaped around what matters to you:
Culture and society: literature, cinema, art, current affairs, philosophy, politics, music
Everyday conversation and general fluency
Business or professional French
Preparation for a trip to a French-speaking country
A specific objective (interviews, presentations, DELF/DALF oral prep, etc.)
My approach:
Structured but relaxed. Rigorous with corrections, warm with delivery. My job is to give you the vocabulary, the confidence, and the reflexes to say what you actually want to say - in French that sounds like you.
What students say:
"Elise has been my French conversation tutor for a few months now, and I honestly feel lucky to have found her. She's quick-witted, warm, endlessly patient, and the lessons are just a joy. It's not only the language, either: she has such breadth, and we often end up deep in conversation about art, culture, and everything in between. I'd recommend her without hesitation!" - Katie
"We were heading to France for a holiday and needed to brush up on our French - Elise was brilliant. By the time we arrived we felt heaps more confident, and our French friends couldn't believe how much progress we'd made. Thanks so much Elise!" - Oliver and Amelia
