Hello my name is Sheena, I am a French native speaker born in Brussels 32 years ago.

My teaching focuses on speaking French in a natural way, rather than this formal French you learn at school and don't recognize once you are in the real world. Together we will slowly but surely discover French in a new and interactive light, finding out more about culture, current topics, and general topics to express your needs and opinions in a effective way. I will provide and guide you through different tools (audio, books, etc.) to help you progress.

I have been teaching French for various companies as a freelance, as well as in private language schools for 6 years. It means I have seen people from all nationalities, levels, background and age. I have also been teaching online for two years because of the pandemic, and have collected a large amount of material.

Let's start soon!

About Me
Hello everyone,

I have always been passionate about translating and learning languages. It started with lyrics from Britney Spears I wanted to understand, but I wasn't too impressed with what I found out, and later with the Harry Potter series, because I couldn't wait for the French version to come out.
I love the idea of accessing a new world thanks to languages, and French has a lot to offer in that department!

Let's learn French together! I'm here to help you understand this challenging language, explain it to you, and converse with you about whatever topics you're interested in. I adapt to your pace and needs: I speak slowly and clearly so you can understand me, but I can also speak normally to help you practice understanding all French speakers.
I can give you grammar lessons (conjugation, spelling...), vocabulary lists, and audio or video resources.
I can also help you obtain the DELF, as I have already assisted several people in this process.
Finally, I speak English, Italian and Korean fluently, and I have a B1 level in Spanish, Japanese and Chinese, so I can also give you lessons in these languages.
