Experienced online language teacher & Novelist
French for Business - Online
All levels
Bespoke - Collaborative - Delivering results
As a former company director, I understand the challenges businesses face in fostering effective communication across diverse teams and markets.
To that end, I offer flexible, bespoke online language classes designed specifically for corporate environments.
I’m a French native speaker with expert knowledge of French and English.
I will help you:
-
communicate efficiently and avoid misunderstandings,
-
overcome language barriers slowing down decision-making,
meetings, and workflows, -
master cultural differences.
All with the aim to give you, and your team, the edge to build/strengthen relationships with your French partners/colleagues, and increase sales and revenue as a result.
Based on my own learning experience (detailed below), my method shows you how to take charge of the learning process, actively use French, and feel confident. It's collaborative and proven to deliver results in business.
MY EXPERIENCE IN BRIEF
-
I'm French and trilingual (French / English / Italian).
-
I have 20+ years of teaching experience, including at university.
-
I'm the former manager of a publishing company.
I became a teacher because I'm passionate about languages, I'm a natural communicator, and love nothing more than seeing my students empowered with language.
ASSESSING YOUR NEEDS
My courses will be entirely tailored to your needs, with the view to maximimising your learning time and making sure you immediately put in practice what you've just learned (see testimonial below).
You can use this audit form as a starting point and book your free 20-minute chat. I'd love to talk and see how I can best help you.
And if you're busy and need ad hoc support for meetings, phone/video calls, correspondence, presentations or socialising, why not get a voucher for a taster session?
In any case, don't hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to meeting you!
My method
I have created a method based on my own experience as a learner, which is a radical departure from what we've all experienced at school because:
-
I explain every step of the process,
-
I show you how to speak French without translating from English,
-
I make sure you immediately put in practice new language points,
-
I help use your interests to integrate language learning to your life.
My take on language learning
''Caroline is an exceptional teacher who builds bespoke packages for executives, companies and individuals who want to improve their communication skills and build confidence in French.
As a previous company director, she understands time pressure and maximises learning to its fullest. Her patient approach and ability to teach at all levels has blown my mind, this is learning but not like you have experienced before! If you need French for business, for client interactions or simply want to improve your language ability, please get in touch with Caroline, you will not regret your decision.''
Alan Clarke
''I enjoy learning French with Caroline. Lessons are fun and varied and she’s adept at explaining grammar clearly, while making the most of every minute of our lessons.
Caroline’s passionate about language learning and about empowering her students with language they can use immediately, so she’s always getting me to write and practise sentences to use in a business setting.
Her lessons have helped me strengthen my personal relationships with family in France and develop more meaningful business relationships with our French partners.''
