100% tailored to youOnline private French lessons, with me
One-hour online private French lessons with Marion Trotté, a qualified French teacher since 2017. There is no fixed programme: we work on exactly what holds you back, at your own pace, using real films and TV series. €100 per lesson.
You need personal support, and you love cinema
Private lessons are the most flexible option: we start from you, not from a textbook.
- You need to practise speaking in a supportive setting.
- You have tried online tutors, but none matched your level or really corrected you.
- You watch French films and series, but still feel frustrated.
- You want to stop relying on subtitles.
What we work on together
Each lesson starts from your needs, with three possible focuses.
Conversation
You speak, I correct you and help you say things the way French people actually say them.
Listening and pronunciation
Shadowing on film extracts to train your ear, your rhythm and your accent.
Film analysis
The vocabulary, expressions and references of a scene you have chosen.

“The progress is real and lasting.”
Anna finds the method unique because it is based on everyday French, the French of films and series, rather than textbook French. She admits it is hard at first, when you remove the subtitles, but describes the teaching as demanding and very effective.

“You know where my little mistakes come from, so you create exercises that target them. They are very effective exercises.”
“I went for it without subtitles and understood 80% of what was happening.”

Private lessons: booking and terms
How much does a private French lesson with Marion cost?
€100 for a one-hour lesson. After your first lesson, you choose between the monthly plan (€400 for 4 lessons, no commitment) and the 10-hour pack (€1,000, to use within 3 months).
Are the lessons taught in French or in English?
In French: that is the whole point. Marion also speaks English, so she can always clarify a word or an explanation in English if you get stuck.
How does booking work?
You pick a time slot in the online calendar, then you receive a Zoom link for your lesson.
How long is a lesson?
One hour on Zoom. Make sure you have a good microphone, headphones or a headset, a stable connection and a quiet space.
How do I reschedule a lesson?
Let Marion know at least 48 hours before your slot to find another time. After that, the lesson is charged.
What if I'm late?
If you are more than 15 minutes late, the lesson counts as cancelled and is charged. If something comes up, let Marion know as early as possible.
How do I cancel the monthly plan?
There is no commitment. Just let Marion know at least 10 days before your renewal date so you are not charged for the following month.
What level do I need?
Lessons adapt to your level, but they are mainly designed for B1 learners and above who have the basics but get stuck when speaking or listening.
What happens in the first lesson?
You get to know each other, identify your strengths and what holds you back, and set your priorities. The first lessons are mostly about getting to know you: progress usually shows after 3 or 4 lessons.
Do I get notes after the lessons?
Yes. From your first lesson, you get a private, personalised Notion workspace, free of charge, with all your lesson notes. Recordings are available on request.
