Who is it for?
Complete beginners looking to learn French from scratch with a focus on real-life situations to handle life in French. So if you only know bonjour and merci, you’re welcome 😊
My approach?
I’ll teach you essentials for daily life and encourage you to speak from the beginning to practice.
How does it work?
A 12-week program made of 2 hours of live lesson per week, for a total of 24 hours of learning to help you learn French from scratch step by step over three months in a group of 4 people to ensure a better learning experience and give you some speaking time to put the theory in practice.
Before each class, you’ll get access to the material we’ll cover together during our session. That way, you can already get familiar with the vocabulary and grammar before the lesson.
After each class, you’ll find our lessons notes in our virtual classroom so you can review everything afterward and at your own pace.
How much?
The price includes live sessions of 2h speaking classes as well as access to a virtual classroom with additional online exercises. Since each session is 20€/hour, that makes you a total of 480€.
When?
Evening lessons usually at 6.30 PM (Brussels time) once a week, during 12 weeks, 2 hours each time.

What my students say
I am pleased to write this personal recommendation for Lucie van den Broeck.
Lucie was my online French teacher. During our lessons I always felt I was learning and making progress. I never felt bored or overwhelmed.
Lucie is sensitive to the abilities of each student and able to adjust her teaching to include and advance each student according to their level. Her classes are always interesting and relevant. What impressed me most was her ability to read each student and to explain and teach relevant material, rather than text book.
She gave me a good basis to start my French. Her language skills are exceptional, as are her teaching skills. She is very encouraging.
I highly recommend Lucie to anyone fortunate enough to have her as a teacher.

Lucie is an excellent French teacher, well-organised, and friendly. She is patient and able to provide an encouraging environment where people are able to build their confidence, understanding and speaking French. I enjoyed my lessons with her, able to talk freely in French about any subject to learn phrases and vocabulary. Lucie also provided corrections after each lesson, and homework concentrated on grammar.

I am very pleased to write this recommendation for Lucie.
I was learning French online session under her with a small group of students.
She is very professional and knowledgeable and has a strong ability in her subject area. She always encourages for asking questions and clearing doubts.
Lucie is patient, calm and creates a nice environment throughout the session. Before every session, she is always very well-prepared, and we had a short recap of the last session.
She keeps her students forward by providing relevant learning materials and not just text books.
I can really recommend studying with Lucie and has a pleasant and fun experience for continuing your journey for learning a language !
