Hello and welcome to my page!
My name is Célia, a native French teacher living abroad. I graduated with a master’s degree in French as a Foreign Language [teaching French to foreigners] in 2020 at the University of Paul-Valéry in Montpellier, and I became a certified DELF (A1–B2) corrector in 2022. I grew up in a small village near Montpellier, and I have lived in Northern Ireland, Germany, and Asia.
During my master’s degree, I learned how to create didactic units (lessons), design exams, and work with the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). I have been teaching French both online and on-site—in international schools and at the Alliance Française : from A1 to C2 levels, to learners of all ages: children, teenagers, and adults. Whether you’re preparing for an exam, looking to build your skills, or just want to practice speaking, I’ll be happy to help!
In our first class, I’ll ask you why you want to learn French, what your goals and interests are, what your current level is, and if you want to focus on any particular aspect of the language. This first conversation during our trial lesson helps me get a better idea of your level so I can prepare a plan tailored to your needs. The materials I use are varied: listening exercises from media sources, text comprehension (books, articles, excerpts), grammar practice, and more. All resources are adapted to your level and objectives. Most materials are provided, and I also share a lesson summary and homework after each session (-^▽^-).
My teaching method is mainly based on communicative and action-oriented approaches. I aim to involve learners actively in their learning process and help them speak as much French as possible, in a supportive and relaxed atmosphere. I know learning a new language isn’t always easy—mistakes are part of the process! I’m here to guide you, support you, and help you gain confidence step by step.
I’m passionate about languages and culture, and I love exchanging with people from all over the world. I’m sure we’ll find plenty of interesting topics to talk about while building your French skills!
À bientôt!

Celia is a an excellent teacher who is patient and adaptable to the student's needs. After three lessons, I am making progress in our conversational French and the time just flies by. I make many errors which is natural and I learn through the corrections. If you want to learn French or practise speaking it, Celia will provide you with the means to reach your goal. Highly recommended.

I really enjoy her lessons. She is easy to speak with, she corrects when necessary, she is prepaired and organised. And, she understands what area I want to consentrate on-so she comes up with relevant ideas.
