Aurelie has been teaching me French for 13 years now, and is easily the best teacher I’ve ever had. Not only is she incredibly enthusiastic, passionate and knowledgeable about French language and culture, but she is deeply invested in my success in French.

Aurelie tutored me for HSC French Continuers and ultimately helped me achieve a mark of 96. I enjoyed her classes so much that I continued them at university to prepare for the DELF B2.

Aurelie has a wonderful ability to make the French language accessible and breaks down complex French grammar into memorable, bite-sized pieces of information. She is patient and encouraging. She prepares rigorously for each class, which are well structured and skillfully tailored to my interests.

Aurelie knows both the HSC and DELF exams inside-out, and replicated the assessment format throughout our classes (i.e. structured the class by speaking, listening and writing sections). She gave me constructive feedback and targeted classes to the areas I struggled with.

Aurelie doesn’t just want me to succeed in French, she wants to ensure I enjoy class and share her passion for French language and culture. Her classes are always fun, with laughter and good conversation, but she prepared me thoroughly for the exams.

I feel very lucky to know Aurelie and I cannot recommend her more highly!

Aurelie is an excellent teacher – the complete package – an enthusiastic and inspiring teacher with a vast knowledge of french culture and current affairs. She has an extensive range of tuition styles and techniques to constantly engage students, extend your ability to speak, read and write as needed in French.

Aurelie is nothing short of a dynamo and has proved herself to be very capable teaching people of all ages and ability. She began teaching my daughters when they were 8 and 10 before we went to live in France for six months. She tutored them as HSC students and then as university students (though not studying uni French) assisting them to pass the B2 and C1 exams which enabled them to study at university level in french in France. She has worked out how to make it fun for young people and to motivate them to do their very best. My youngest often said “I have to study – Aurelie puts so much into our lessons I cant let her down”.

As an adult learner I find her in person and online teaching format and tools inspiring and particularly conducive to learning. She knows how to make a class interesting, keeping you constantly engaged particularly through material relating to your personal interests. She also provides a vast amount of material for after class study.

Our family has benefited enormously from Aurelie’s tuition and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I cant imagine you could find a better teacher!

Aurelie is a magnificent teacher – incredibly enthusiastic, fun, and thorough. I cannot recommend her more highly. You will adore French with Aurelie!

Aurelie is a gem… A very unique teacher. Don’t spread the word. My husband and I are still students after 3 years of learning face-to-face and then, switching online. We don’t want to share her!

My experience: My husband and I heard about Aurelie, word-to-mouth, by relatives. Having learned a bit of Italian together before, we wanted to learn French as a hobby, to travel and because French gastronomy! Aurelie didn’t disappoint. On the contrary, she went beyond our expectations ! It has been a wonderful cultural journey ! We particularly love the focus on speaking skills and culture, and how she can make French grammar easy to understand and fun to practice through conversation. Who would have thought that French grammar could be easy and fun ? During Covid lockdowns, Aurelie was our breath of fresh air with her sense of humour and her contagious laughter. Shhh… Don’t tell anyone…

Before I met Aurelie, I had an expatriation project: becoming fluent to move to France with my French partner by 2020. Aurelie made this possible! We have now been happily living in Paris since December 2019. I continued to take online classes with Aurelie during Covid, just for fun and to have the opportunity to speak about current affairs with a real and knowledgeable French teacher! She couldn’t have chosen a better name for her school: “French Reve” – She made mine come true!

My experience: As a beginner, back in 2015, I enrolled in different courses at various schools around Sydney (Australia). I was struggling and felt I was wasting my time and money. I was constantly thinking in English and translating into “approximate” French. My brain kept freezing every time I had to speak. I couldn’t find my words and felt increasingly dumb not being able to retain French and to use it properly… A work colleague told me she knew an amazing French teacher who helped her successfully pass the DELF B1, and also tutored her son through to the end of his final high school year (he aced his French continuers and French Extension exams !) I decided to give it a try and, 5 years later, I live in Paris and I feel at ease in society.
