About Virginie
I am Virginie, a native French speaker originally from Paris, now living in Melbourne.
I offer French lessons for three types of learners: VCE students (Years 11 and 12), adults looking to build confidence in the language, and French-speaking children or teenagers raised in Melbourne. For heritage speakers, I focus on maintaining conversational fluency, strengthening written skills, or preparing for exams such as the DELF — not on teaching beginners to read or write from scratch.
I have tutored VCE French students and served as an examiner for Alliance Française Melbourne's French poetry competition — so I understand what is expected at each level and how to help learners get there.
As a mother of two young children raised bilingually in Melbourne, I understand firsthand the challenges and rewards of keeping French alive outside France. This gives me a particular empathy for families navigating the same journey.
I believe learning a language should feel natural, not stressful. My sessions are structured but relaxed — I create an environment where mistakes are part of the process, and where every small step forward is celebrated.
Learning with me means improving your French, but also connecting with the language as it is actually spoken and lived — with the culture, the nuances, and the little things that make French come alive.

ABOUT THE LESSON
Why learn with me?
I am a native French speaker with clear Parisian pronunciation, fluent in English and Italian — which means I can explain French intuitively, make connections between languages, and adapt to how you learn best.
What my lessons look like:
Tailored to your goals from day one — whether that is VCE preparation, maintaining your French, or conversational fluency
We speak French from the very first lesson — real communication, not just grammar exercises
Structured but flexible: I build on solid foundations while keeping sessions engaging and practical
Who I teach:
VCE students in Years 11 and 12
French-speaking children and teenagers wanting to maintain their level
Adults at any stage — from returning learners to those wanting to gain confidence
Book a first lesson and we will figure out together where to start.
