You want me all to yourself to work on specific areas?
The beauty of private is that we can focus on whatever aspect of French you’d like to improve!
How does it work?
My private students and I normally meet once a week on Skype or Zoom (whichever you prefer), same day, same time. It’s easier for everyone to make it a regular event, plus it’s a good idea for you to give your weekly French routine the time it deserves. That being said, we can always be flexible when necessary!
How can I help?
Some of my private students are planning a trip to France, others want to take specific exams, some wish to understand more about the French culture, others to discuss the news, and of course, simply having fun chatting about life is always an option! no matter what, you will improve your grammar, conjugation, vocabulary, and general conversational skills.
Need a recording?
If that’s of any value to you, we can record our class so you can watch it again as many times as needed after we’re done, plus you get to keep everything that was written during our conversation : new words, expressions, conjugation, various explanations, etc. Some of my private students swear by it, some don’t, your choice!
How much is it?
I charge €80 per class, each class lasts 1 hour, and I bill 4 classes at a time, so I will send you an invoice for €320 that will need to be paid ahead of time. If you need to cancel or postpone, I ask that you let me know at least 24 hours before our meeting, as I plan my days around my private students and a spot booked for you is a spot I cannot give to someone else.
This is how we work!
“My private weekly class with Virginie is my "happy hour". My French is fast improving as I tell her (or attempt to tell her), the recent events in my life, in French. She helps me over the rough spots. Then I get to ask her all the questions that have arisen in my Duolingo experiences that week. Finally, we read from a fun novel written in easy French, by France Dubin. With Virginie, I laugh, sometimes I cry, and my French privates with her absolutely light up my life. Merci mille fois, ma jolie prof!”

I’ve enjoyed my French lessons with Virginie for some time now and always look forward to our one-hour conversations each week. She brings a delightful sense of humor and enthusiasm to our discussions, while always encouraging me when I struggle to find the right word or phrase! Being completely bilingual, Virginie knows exactly the correct expression or idiom to use at each moment during our chats. Although I took French in high school and college there is no substitute for speaking the language one-on-one. I have found working with her has improved my fluency and ability to converse naturally with the Québécois francophones in my family. I highly recommend Virginie!!

"Virginie is a skillful and knowledgeable teacher, and I love working with her! The format of her classes is conversational and she has a way of putting her students at ease with her upbeat and warm personality. Through conversation, Virginie helps the student to speak French. Stopping throughout the conversation to explain points of grammar, idioms, and expressions, Virginie makes her classes fun and engaging. I would recommend her private classes to anyone who wants to learn to speak French!?"
