Ingrid: Your French (FLE) Teacher and Language Coach in Paris

From Madrid to Paris: The genesis of a polyglot method

My name is Ingrid. My vocation for teaching was born over 20 years ago, during my expatriation in Madrid. In addition to my Master's in Spanish, I began teaching French to locals.

What started as simple conversation exchanges quickly evolved. My students sought to understand the "why and how": the logic behind grammar and complex structures. This is where I developed my unique approach: to use the student's native language (Spanish) as a leverage point to simplify the target language. The satisfaction of seeing my students have that "Aha!" moment confirmed my vocation.

Certified Pedagogical Expertise (CAPES & FLE)

Back in France, I wanted to professionalise this natural approach through solid academic training. I hold a Double Major in Spanish with a focus on French as a Foreign Language (FLE) as well as the CAPES certification in Spanish.

This dual competence allowed me to teach in high school before specializing in what I am most passionate about today: the language coaching for adults and business professionals. I understand the demands of the working world and the challenges of learning in adulthood.

My Philosophy: Creating "Language Bridges"

Whatever your goal (professional French, everyday conversation, DELF preparation, phonetics...), my priority is to make the language accessible and logical.

I avoid obscure academic explanations. At the heart of my teaching, I build bridges between languages. I rely on what you already know (your native language, or English) to help you intuitively understand the new rules.

My goal for you: Autonomy

I don't just want you to learn a rule, I want you to understand it so you can use it on your own. My ultimate aim is to give you the confidence and the keys necessary to quickly become independent in your learning and in your day-to-day life in France.
