About Carine
Bonjour! I am Carine, a native French speaker from Paris with a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Foreign Languages from La Sorbonne, Paris III. With over 10 years of professional experience in international business across New York and Los Angeles, I bring both academic excellence and real-world application to French language instruction. My bilingual expertise has been refined through years of supporting executives in multinational organizations where precise French and English communication was essential. This allows me to teach conversational French, business French, and cultural nuances that textbooks rarely cover. Whether you're preparing for business in France, planning to study abroad, or simply want to master French, I provide personalized instruction tailored to your specific goals. My approach combines French academic rigor with practical communication skills needed in today's globalized world. I create a supportive, professional learning environment where students feel confident to practice and progress toward fluency.

My Teaching Method and Techniques:
As a native French speaker, I use an immersive, conversation-based approach that emphasizes practical communication skills alongside grammar fundamentals. My method combines structured learning with real-world application, drawing from my professional experience in international business environments to teach French that students can actually use.
I focus on building confidence through progressive conversation practice, using visual aids, authentic French materials (news articles, videos, songs), and interactive exercises. My techniques include role-playing common scenarios, pronunciation drills using phonetic methods, and grammar instruction through context rather than rote memorization.
A Typical Lesson Plan (60 minutes):
Warm-up conversation in French (10 minutes) - discussing current events or personal topics
Review previous lesson concepts through practical application (10 minutes)
New material introduction with examples and practice (20 minutes)
Interactive exercise or role-play scenario (15 minutes)
Wrap-up with homework assignment and pronunciation practice (5 minutes)
Each lesson includes written materials and homework tailored to the student's learning pace and goals.
What Sets Me Apart:
My unique combination of native fluency, Sorbonne education, and 10+ years of professional experience in international business environments. I understand both academic French and professional communication needs. Having worked extensively with English-speaking professionals, I can anticipate common challenges Americans face when learning French and provide practical solutions.
I also offer cultural context that goes beyond textbook learning, helping students understand not just how to say something, but when and why French speakers communicate in certain ways.
Who the Lessons Are For:
Beginners to advanced levels (A1-C2)
Business professionals needing French for work
Students preparing for DELF/DALF exams
Adults planning travel or relocation to French-speaking countries
Anyone seeking conversation practice with a native speaker
Professionals in international companies requiring French communication skills
I adapt my approach based on individual goals, whether academic, professional, or personal enrichment.
