French Lessons in Paris – Engaging, Personal, Real
Private French, One-to-One, and Culture-Infused
The core of our approach to French language and culture teaching is to create a genuine encounter between each student and a personal teacher, as well as to design the best teaching process for each learner according to their own style and goals.
A teacher and a learning method tailored to your needs
French is a living language that requires a real relationship with the "right" teacher who will introduce you to vocabulary and grammar in a lively and exciting atmosphere without ever dissociating himself from your interests and goals.
He will understand you, involve you and lead you to the best.
First, Violaine will choose the tutor who best matches her perception of you, your goals and your interests.
Learning French is about experiencing a vibrant world
Another key to successful teaching is to consider learning French through its culture, its people, and all that it allows you to explore about the world and yourself. All the subjects that interest you and all the situations of daily life that you need are springboards for speaking, writing, communicating, reading and living in French.
Your teacher will always strive to stay as close as possible to your needs, desires and passions.
And since learning a living language requires daily practice, she will give you tips and resources for living a little in French every day. Homework too, if you wish!

I feel so fortunate to have found Violaine and Bespoke French Lessons Paris. I am a comfortable French speaker in a tourist capacity but needed to elevate my vocabulary to support my professional engagements in France. We started working together in May 2024 and by June I felt at ease to hold a business meeting entirely in French.
Violaine's teaching method is evidence based and really builds competency rapidly. Plus she is lots of fun to chat with!
It was my first time learning a new language as an adult, and French is definitely not an easy one if you were someone who had lived their whole life in Asia. My teacher Brice was a patient and caring one, he knows how to help ones to learn the language and his background as a historian makes a difference, comparing to a traditional teaching method where you are attending 3 hours everyday but making a slow progress.
From someone who didn't know a thing about the French culture, I can now understand the context when people speak and try to engage the conversation in a simple way.
At the end of the day learning a new language is about your proactiveness and if you had put the time and effort into it I'm sure things will work out for you, with the right teacher and right method tailored to your needs. Bespoke French will be the best place for you if you need flexibility in terms of schedule and the means of learning.

Bespoke French worked with me and my partner to deliver excellent French lessons in the context of conversations held in person in Paris as well as virtually from our home in the US. In Paris, the instructors met us in cafes (for intermediate level lessons for my partner) or our rented apartment (for beginner lessons for me, with less distractions), and tailored the lessons to our different levels and interests. After each lesson, we received helpful follow-up notes and exercises to reinforce our learning. Bespoke French lessons added a depth of appreciation for French culture, history, and language to our vacation, and were a highlight of our trip. Highly recommended!
This is exactly the type of French lessons I was looking for. In 9 months my French has improved greatly. Chloe is a wonderful teacher. Chloe's teaching style, patience and encouragement is perfect for the adult student. Each class is fun, educational and interesting.
