Salut, je suis Alice !

Passionate about languages, meeting new people and travelling, I’ve been teaching French for over 10 years.
I’ve lived in Italy, Portugal and Brazil, so I understand my students’ goals, fears and hang-ups.

When I arrived in France Alice helped me to be ready to talk to the French family I was about to visit. She was a well prepared French teacher, who adapted the lessons to my skills, interests and to the French that I needed for the family wedding which I was going to attend. She also gave me a friendly introduction to Lyon. I highly recommend that you take lessons with Alice.

The Alice Academy is an excellent way for those interested in getting to a higher level in reading comprehension and speaking. Alice is a wonderful teacher- very well organized and helps with specific weekly goals to support our efforts (sometimes, the internet can bombard you with vignettes and videos that just overwhelm you). Whereas I could not understand French podcasts and movies- she helps us break it down- and voila- the learning begins. We work with a small group to speak every week- and Alice ensures we all speak (as opposed to some "meet-ups" where levels are all over the board- and certain people dominate all the time). Alice is exceptional- and I am looking forward to the fall to continue my dream. I am not only learning the language- but the culture and customs and history- around France. Fun and Interesting!!

I would like to thank Alice Academy for their excellent technique they have to teach us French, Alice is an excellent teacher that has taken the time to prepare and present a perfect method to teach French according to your needs, Alice has designed her own material that she will send it to you with each lesson of group of them under the same subject. It is great because you do not have to buy any books, etc.The only thing you have to do is be on time for her lessons on line personalize class of 1 hour per session and follow her instructions for preparation for the next class. Alice, she is very professional and personable. I had several French teachers but never I have encounter nobody as fully commit it and identified with the needs of his/her students. My name is Alba Holleman and I feel very lucky to have Alice as my French teacher.

Grazie ad Alice ho raggiunto un ottimo livello di francese in pochissimo tempo. Il suo modo di insegnare è davvero professionale e coinvolgente, mi ha aiutato ad avere delle conversazioni in francese migliorando tutti gli aspetti della lingua, grammatica, vocabolario e pronuncia. Inoltre è stata sempre disponibile ad approfondire qualsiasi dubbio o domanda durante le lezioni con pazienza e professionalità. Alice parla benissimo italiano il che ha facilitato ancora di più il mio apprendimento qualora fosse necessaria una traduzione. Consiglio vivamente i suoi corsi per persone che vogliono migliorare/imparare il francese in modo rapido ed efficace. Grazie ancora Alice!

At the conclusion of 12 private lessons with Alice this past fall - mostly à distance - I couldn't wait to sign up for 12 more in the new year. Retired now and an English speaker, I first learned French as a teenager. Although I was able to speak the language reasonably fluently when I first met Alice, I realized my progress was hindered by many gaps in my knowledge and my old-fashioned usage. Alice is all she claims to be: a passionately interested and experienced teacher with a wealth of invaluable information at her fingertips that works incredibly well for remote lessons. Her calm and kindly presence empowered me to express myself on the subject at hand, to ask questions about anything I didn't understand, and to try out newly-learned words and phrases. Alice adapted each lesson and all assignments according to my current needs. She possesses considerable wisdom on how to master a language, and her belief in early-morning contact with it on a daily basis, constant repetition, and focusing on quality rather than quantity are all worth heeding . With Alice, these past few months have been exciting, motivating, joyful and fun. It has been thrilling to encounter so many revelations about this beautiful language. Je te remercie, Alice !

I would highly recommend French classes with Alice. First of all, they are online, so it is possible no matter where you live, then she is very flexible with the timing and the most important is she is an excellent teacher, with lots of experience, and nice personality. You certainly will improve your French with her. I am a busy mother of twins in my 50's, so I do not have time nor a great desire to learn a new language, at this stage of my life. But I need it because I live in France. I noticed that even with a once a week class, and doing the homework Alice gives, listening to her podcast, I am progressing a lot. I do not panic when I hear French anymore. I certainly will continue with Alice. For the ones who care what kind of French she uses, she is from Paris, so it is standard French. Thank you Alice!

Aprender francês com Alice tem sido uma experiência gratificante. Ela não só tem conhecimento no idioma, mas também tem uma habilidade única para tornar cada lição envolvente e agradável. Alice sempre se esforça para garantir que cada conceito seja claramente compreendido, usando uma variedade de métodos de ensino adaptados a diferentes estilos de aprendizagem. Seja através de exercícios interativos, insights culturais ou feedback personalizado, ela faz com que aprender francês seja acessível a todos. Ao criar um ambiente de aprendizagem favorável onde o aluno se sente confortável cometendo erros e fazendo perguntas, a confiança em falar e compreender francês cresce tremendamente. Professora super recomendada.

I highly recommend learning French with Alice:) Her online classes were always energetic and easy to understand. It was a small group so we were all able to practice our French very well.

Frequently asked questions

Is it hard to learn French?

With me, no 😂

More seriously, if you already speak a Latin language (Italian, Portuguese, Spanish) or even English, you’ll find a lot of similarities with French.

My aim is for you to speak like the French, not like in books (with all the useless exceptions that the French don’t even know about).

If you have the motivation, a good method to follow and practice speaking French, you’ll learn French quickly and easily, I promise!

Here are the different language levels defined by the CEFR:

A1 – You are discovering French
You can understand and use familiar and everyday expressions in very simple sentences to satisfy concrete needs.

A2 – You understand simple messages
You can understand isolated sentences and expressions in relation to your immediate environment: family, work, school. You can talk about familiar topics.

B1 – You can communicate in a French-speaking environment
You can understand the main points of a message when clear, standard language is used. You can communicate in most situations encountered while traveling. You can tell about an event, an experience.

B2 – You communicate easily in French
You can understand the essential content of complex messages on concrete or abstract subjects. You communicate easily with a native speaker and express yourself clearly and in detail on a wide variety of subjects.

C1 – You communicate with ease and spontaneity
You can understand a wide variety of long and demanding texts. You communicate easily on complex subjects without searching for your words in various contexts: social, professional or academic life.

C2 – You are bilingual in French
You can effortlessly understand almost everything you read or hear. You can summarize and rephrase facts and arguments from various written and oral sources. You express yourself spontaneously and understand the nuances of the language.

If you have any doubts and want to assess your level with me, you can book a call with me.

Classes take place on the ZOOM platform and are recorded so you can watch them over and over again.

Classes are organized around practical exercises, role plays, pair work and independent practice.

Online French lessons focus on oral practice of the language with review of vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.

You have access, 24/7, to an educational platform to prepare you for the course (videos, podcasts, online exercises) and to be in permanent contact with the French language.

YES 😀 I get ALL the students talking! This is why group classes are limited to 8 people.

The live online lessons with me are entirely devoted to oral practice of the language and take place in a caring and warm atmosphere.

My goal is to allow you to communicate in French quickly, easily and with complete confidence.

If you have variable schedules due to your work or studies, I advise you to take private lessons: you will be more flexible and you will be able to cancel and postpone the lessons (cancellation must be made at least 24 hours in advance).

If you think you will only miss 1 or 2 classes, you can take the classes in a group and watch the recording of the classes when you are available.

The online course costs €360 for a total of 3 months (3 hours / week).

Payment is for the full 3 months.

No refunds are possible if the student has already taken at least one course.

Payment is made securely by SEPA bank transfer (tax-free in Europe) or PayPal (+20 €).

Even if, in everyday life, I prefer physical contact to virtual contact, I chose to give online courses because they offer many advantages to students:

  • you learn French from home, from anywhere in the world, in a familiar environment
  • you save money (transport – parking – rental of a classroom – school registration)
  • you have direct contact with a native French teacher even if you do not live in France
  • you don’t waste time before or after class
  • you can study even if you are traveling
  • you learn at your own pace, consulting the course materials whenever you want and as many times as you want
