Feb. 2 is the day of the "Chandeleur" in France, and the French make crepes at home! Let me show you how.

French

I am a native French speaker born in France; I have lived in the USA since 2000 and speak English fluently. I teach both French and English as a Second Language (ESL). I am used to teaching/ coaching/ interacting with  students of all ages (12-80+) and with professionals in a corporate environment. In fact I have worked in-countries and remotely with people located in France, Poland, India, Canada, Guatemala, Brazil etc. I speak some Spanish and German, and that might help you as well, depending on your background. I am happy to add a cultural dimension to the language support. For Life Coaching lessons, I draw from my experience and best practices. I will share simple yet highly effective tips and approaches to help you meet your needs. 

Most of my students have become friends and we always look forward to our upcoming sessions. I always adapt my sessions to the centers of interest of my students. Those sessions are really fun!

For best results; I recommend a minimum of 2 (two) 45-minute sessions per week for the first 20 lessons to gain some momentum and build strong foundations. I look for students sincerely interested in making great strides and committed. Some of my students have taken lessons with me for more than 8 years! 

Learning a language is like going to the gym; you need a coach that will guide you and pave the way for your success.  

Happy to start any time soon. THX for visiting my profile. Questions welcome!

The Alliance Française of Cincinnati is the primary French cultural institution in Cincinnati and the Northern Kentucky region. We are a non-profit cultural institution founded in 1901 by Auguste Fredin, who was the Honorary Consul of France in Cincinnati. We often partner with the University of Cincinnati, Xavier University, Northern Kentucky University, the European-American Chamber of Commerce, and other groups to bring the most diverse events to the Greater Cincinnati area.

Being born and raised in France, I went to school in France; received my baccalaureate there, and graduated from Grad School in France too.

Director, Professional Services

I have been providing private lessons one-on-one and to small groups (up to 3) in French and English as Second Language. I have been enjoying every single lesson and so have my students. Actually my students have become best friends! The key being that I adapt totally to their needs. My greatest reward is to see their immense progress. My Life Coaching practice is rooted in my broad experience as wife, mother of 2 very successful children and senior executive in the corporate world. I have had the opportunity to work with people of all ages and cultures in the USA and abroad. I can't wait to share my experience to help you meet your goals.

Bonjour! I was born and raised in France. Several of my students have learnt and practiced  French with me for 9+ years. I focus on your very needs, either using your methodology, or any other. I can recommend at least one 45 to 60-minute lesson per week; or two 30-minute lessons per week. I suggest websites and books. I provide complementary support to Rosetta Stone and various foreign language learning apps such as Babbel or Duolingo.
Above and beyond the regular class interactions, if you wish, I am available for texting to provide even more conversational French opportunities. Just like in the real world. That is of course free. The idea is to make you comfortable with simple expressions. Students love that! 

I really enjoy Isabelle as an instructor 

I have had 3 French lessons with Isabelle so far. It continues to be an excellent experience! Isabelle is a wonderful teacher and person, I’m so grateful to her.

I look forward to every session with Isabelle. 

Learning a new language can be a vulnerable thing: you feel awkward and uncertain, you make mistakes, and you wonder if you're making progress at all. But Isabelle has such a warm and friendly approach that you never feel bad about those stumbles; instead you feel like you have a kind mentor who is helping you improve and rooting for you along the way. 

Even better: she takes the time to understand your specific goal and tailors the lessons to achieve it. For me, for example, I wanted to improve my comfort with speaking before an upcoming trip, and each session feels like catching up with a friend. No vocabulary memorization or grammar exercises in sight, though I can feel myself improving in those areas as we go.

If you're thinking about improving your French, I highly encourage you to consider working with Isabelle.

She is a wonderful teacher, knowledgeable, eloquent, warm and interested in your learning. Highly recommended her.

Isabelle is an intuitive and encouraging educator.  She has a kind, direct way of explaining my mistakes and answering my questions.  I genuinely enjoy our sessions.

I have had about 8 lessons so far in preparation for a trip. I highly recommend Isabelle to anyone regardless of where they are in their French language learning journey.

My lessons have been going very well.
I like that I can be anywhere and still count on having a great lesson with Isabelle.

Bon Jour,
Isabelle is an exceptional language educator. I started French lessons with her at age 58  approaching my endeavor with little expectation. She has been creative, engaging and challenging with the loveliest approach.  After 8 months with just a 30 minutes lesson weekly I can honestly say that I have made significant progress. She effortlessly navigates the vocabulary/grammar lesson with French culture, food, history as well as sharing personal experiences that leave the student with a comprehensive French education. It's been a delightful experience for me. I was just hoping to learn how to read from a French menu and I have gained so much more. Merci Beaucoup, Isabelle!

Taking French lessons from Isabelle has been a great experience since the beginning. I always leave our lessons feeling inspired and looking forward to the next. She does a wonderful job tailoring the lessons to my needs. Merci beaucoup !

Isabelle is a wonderful instructor and helped me, an adult learner, improve my French required for work.  She is engaging, fun, and helped me improve my vocabular and grammar.

Isabelle is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic teacher. She goes above and beyond to find lesson material that is tailored to my interests and learning goals. I can feel my confidence regarding reading French outloud growing after just 5 lessons.

She is a terrific teacher, I feel lucky to have found someone who provides an enjoyable and effective learning platform

Isabelle is a pleasure to work with! Very friendly easy, and fun.

My son wanted to refresh his French that he had learned years ago. We found Isabelle with a solid 5 star review and after reading out her experience it was a no brainer for my son to work with her. He's been very happy and really looks forward to meeting her once a week for a lesson.

Isabelle is a fantastic French teacher! She is incredibly patient with her students and tailors each lesson to a personal interest so there is a lot to talk about. She's easy to speak o and conveys all of her cultural and linguistic knowledge onto her students. I highly recommend her!

Isabelle makes learning French fun and easy.  She is patient, knowledgeable, and is enthusiastic about teaching her native language.

She takes the time to cover grammar, reading comprehension, pronunciation, and spelling in my lessons with her.
