Carine often works with stories in her French lessons, both reading them and encouraging students to tell their own. This makes learning French feel more natural and engaging, especially for children.
Reading stories helps students pick up vocabulary and structure, while telling stories gives them the confidence to actually use the language. Carine guides this gently, without interrupting too much, so students stay focused on meaning rather than mistakes.
It’s an approach that helps French stick and makes speaking feel easier and more enjoyable over time.

I find this way of teaching really interesting, during my schooling I find it a shame that dialogue was not essential for students, you first had to know the theory but it is not in this way that you learn a language quickly. It's really the fact of talking with people and exchanging our anecdotes that makes us learn, thank you Carine

Carine explains French in a very clear and simple way. She has a talent for breaking down rules so they make sense and are easy to remember, without turning lessons into heavy grammar sessions.

What I really appreciate is that she focuses on what’s useful. Instead of overwhelming students, she gives simple explanations that help things click and stay with you.

Her lessons feel calm and well paced, and learning French with her feels approachable rather than intimidating.

Carine has a very natural way of teaching French to kids. She’s patient, attentive, and knows how to adjust to each child’s personality and level without making things feel forced.

What I appreciate most is how relaxed her lessons are while still being effective. Children are encouraged to speak, try, and make mistakes without pressure. She keeps them engaged and focused, and progress happens naturally over time.

She’s clearly experienced, well organized, and takes her role as a teacher seriously. I would confidently recommend her to families looking for a reliable and thoughtful French teacher for their children.

I’ve seen how Carine teaches French with children and teenagers. She’s a native French speaker from Switzerland and a certified teacher, but what really stands out is how comfortable and natural she is with kids.

She creates a fun, hands-on environment where children feel safe speaking and aren’t afraid to make mistakes. She adapts easily to different ages and personalities, and her lessons feel engaging without being rigid or overly academic.

She has a real ability to connect with children and help them progress with confidence. I would highly recommend her to families looking for a supportive, thoughtful, and experienced French teacher for their children.
