Who Our French Students Are – Expats, Creatives, Artists, Culture lovers
Advanced French Learners Seeking Nuance
I work most closely with advanced and expert French learners—those who already speak French but want to leave behind textbook rigidity. They seek a language that feels alive, expressive, and unmistakably their own. We work together to explore the unspoken codes, the rhythm of conversation, and the subtleties that make French feel natural and genuinely Parisian.
Unblocking the Language
With my small team of hand-picked, passionate tutors, we’ve developed a specialty: helping students move past what's holding them back. Whether you've lived in France for years or are just arriving, many come to us feeling stuck. Our approach is thoughtful, adaptive, and deeply human—helping you speak with ease, not effort.
A World of Learners, One Language
We work with creatives, filmmakers, artists, diplomats, curious travelers, expats, and lovers of French culture.
Some are beginners who want to get by fast and connect with locals.
Others join us from New York, Los Angeles, Austin, Melbourne, London, Rio, Toronto, Venice, Madrid, Zurich, Oaxaca ... for a weekly breath of Paris.
All seek the same thing: to understand and be understood, through French that’s rich in culture, context, and care.
Words from our dear students
Learn French in Paris Through Real-Life Cultural Immersion
Live it — not just learn it. Our immersive approach puts you in real French situations, from your first lesson. In a café, an art studio, or online, you speak immediately, guided by a private French tutor matched to your pace, your interests, and who you are.
Some of our native tutors are historians of Paris and guides
With Bespoke, French immersion means stepping into real life — speaking French in a café in Saint-Germain, reflecting in an art gallery in the Marais, or strolling through the quiet gardens of the Palais Royal. We teach where the language is lived. And if you're online, we bring Paris to you — through thoughtful cultural content, live conversation, and the kind of one-on-one connection that makes French feel natural.
Every French lesson we offer — in Paris or online — is crafted just for you, with your voice, goals, and pace at the center.

One-on-one class or tiny groups
Our courses are one-on-one or, at the student's request, a session with two students
(with a similar level). We do not have any small-group of more than 3 students where the levels are mixed and progress is rare. We exclusively offer adult classes with some exceptions for curious and passionate teenagers and children.
One dedicated and thoughtful Parisian teacher
The proficiency of our teachers is well established. We are a very small team, we work with few students to be able to focus on their needs, and we build a relationship of trust and often friendship with each of them. We like to feel like a kind of host family, respectful and present when needed. With Agathe, Brice, Agnès, Guillaume, Marie-Hélène, Chloé, and Caroline we help you to learn French and to live in French in France.
We are the opposite of a big mainstream school where your best friend is your textbook and your homework is like rote conjugation.
Customized and on-the-spot courses
The teacher also adapts to the student's wishes and needs on the fly. Practicing oral French does not prevent you from learning to send your greetings by email or by post. Learning to write literary French or a university lecture does not prevent you from being interested in the culture of the French (the French and food, the French and love, the romance language, the French at work, etc.).
How Our Personalized French Teaching Method Works
Your French tutor is carefully selected to suit your personality and learning style.
For each new student, Violaine, the founder of Bespoke, does a placement test during the first small interview. You explain what you want, we see if your approach to learning works with what we can offer you, Violaine offers a course program in accord with a teacher dedicated, and off you go!
We are flexible. Intensive, semi-intensive, or once a week, in person or/and on Zoom, weekdays and weekends, in France or on the other side of the planet, everything is possible. As you like it!

What makes your private French lessons for non-native speakers unique?
We don’t teach from a script. Every private lesson is built around you: your voice, your interests, your goals. Our tutors are native speakers from Paris, trained at the Sorbonne, and many are also artists, writers, or cultural guides. You won’t just learn French. You’ll learn to live in it.

Absolutely. We design short-term French immersion courses tailored to travelers, professionals, and expats. Whether you’re in Paris for a week or a month, you’ll learn quickly—through real-life situations and curated cultural experiences.
