Personalised coaching for expats who are done feeling stuck.
You moved to France. You want to speak French, really speak it, not just survive. But every method you've tried left you frustrated, overwhelmed, or bored. There's a reason it hasn't worked. And it's not you.
The Become Yourself in French method is built around how your brain actually learns, not around a textbook. It's 1-on-1, fully personalised, and designed to get you speaking with confidence in real life: at work, with neighbours, at the market, at the doctor's.

Here's what gets in the way, and why it's not your fault:
The solution isn't trying harder. It's learning differently.
Each pillar targets a specific obstacle that keeps expats stuck. Together, they create a complete, lasting shift, not just in your French, but in how you feel living in France.
Understand how you learn. Build a plan that actually works for you.
We identify how your brain processes language, visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, and build your programme around it.
Work? Social life? Admin? Exams? We define exactly what "speaking French" means for you, and focus only on that.
A clear, structured plan from where you are now to where you want to be, with milestones you can actually see.
Stop drowning in rules. Learn only what you need — clearly, logically, for good.

We identify exactly which grammar points are blocking you, not all of them, just yours.
Grammar explained the way your brain understands it, with patterns, not rules to memorise.
Every grammar point is practised in real sentences you'll actually use, not textbook exercises.
Remove the mental blocks. Build fluency through real conversations, not drills.

Fear of mistakes, perfectionism, anxiety, we name them, understand them, and work through them together.
The words and phrases you actually need, for your job, your neighbourhood, your daily life in France.
Sessions are conversations, not lessons. You speak from day one, in a safe, judgement-free space.
Master French sounds and rhythm. Be understood, from the first sentence.

The French sounds that don't exist in your language, identified, practised, mastered.
Work? Social life? Admin? Exams? We define exactly what "speaking French" means for you, and focus only on that.
Real French, fast, informal, with accents. We train your ear so you stop asking people to repeat themselves.
Understand how you learn. Build a plan that actually works for you.
Understand the unwritten rules, how French people communicate, what's polite, what's not, and why.
Doctors, banks, schools, neighbours, the real French you need to live independently in France.
Build real connections. Join conversations. Stop feeling like an outsider, in your own neighbourhood.
Don’t just take our word for it. See how it helps them.
Claire is a fantastic teacher and she has helped me enormously with my French conversation skills.
Before Claire's classes I was at A2 — I couldn't speak much or understand well. After completing my training, I am comfortable speaking and I believe I have reached B1–B2 in speaking, comprehension and writing. My colleagues are impressed and happy that I understand them well — and they compliment my accent!
Fantastic trainer, always kind and supportive. A teacher who is passionate about her work and reconciles you with French. Her calm and gentleness immediately put you at ease. Thank you Claire.
Claire is an excellent French teacher. She is very patient and kind. Before her classes, my goal was to better understand and speak French. Thanks to Claire, I am now more confident — I can even handle French administration without any problem.
Claire is exceptional! We have been working with her both in person and via video call for years. My children adore her! We are so lucky to know her and have her teach our children.
Without exaggerating, I had an exceptional experience. When I started, my level was between A1 and A2. After 30 hours with Claire, I passed the DELF B1 with excellent results. Her lessons are fun, stress-free and perfectly adapted to your needs. I now speak French with confidence — something I never imagined before.
I highly recommend her! I have been taking private French lessons with Claire Graton for two years and I am delighted. She is attentive, competent and takes the time to adapt the lessons to my needs.
She is magnificent, very kind, professional, dynamic, innovative and works on the basis of neuroplasticity. Excellent preparation for the DELF exams.
It was an incredibly enriching experience to understand and develop my everyday French skills thanks to teacher Claire. She is an excellent professional and her classes are fascinating.
