Ditch the boring classes.
Go beyond grammar.
Learn Real French.
I'm Laurence, a native French speaker responsible for the Geneva Branch of Simply Language™. I have spent over fifteen years teaching between Geneva and London. I'm currently settled in Switzerland, my home country. My students range from complete beginners to professionals needing to sharpen their communication in French-speaking workplaces.
I believe the fastest path to fluency is authentic conversation and not repetitive grammar. My lessons are designed around real-life situations, your specific goals, and the rhythm of how French is actually spoken today.
Whether you’re preparing for DELF, moving to a French-speaking country, or simply want to finally feel confident at the dinner table, I have the tools to get you there.
Contact me →Fully tailored sessions at your pace, your schedule, your goals. Held over video call or in-person in the Geneva area. Perfect for professionals, parents, and anyone who needs real flexibility.
You know the grammar but you freeze when you open your mouth. These sessions are for you, focused entirely on natural conversation, pronunciation, and real spoken French as it sounds in everyday life.
Structured preparation for DELF, DALF, TEF, and school exams. I know exactly what examiners are looking for, I’ve been on both sides of the table. We work through every section methodically.
For professionals working in or with French-speaking environments. We work on emails, presentations, negotiations, phone calls, focused on the moments that matter in your industry.
Every student begins with a free 30-minute conversation: no forms, no written tests. I listen to how you speak, what you struggle with, what you actually want to achieve.
I design a programme around your life and priorities. Whether you have three hours a week or thirty minutes, we make them count.
All my beginners speak from their very first lesson. Confidence comes from doing. We speak French together and practice your listening with a curated playlist.
I track your progress and as you improve, the lessons evolve. Regular check-ins make sure we’re always heading exactly where you want to go.
Lessons are delivered via Zoom or in the greater Geneva area. Students from all over the world are welcome online.
“After six months I was having full conversations with my colleagues. Something I’d been attempting for years”
“She understood immediately why previous lessons hadn’t worked for me. The approach is completely different”
“My DELF B2 results were far better than I’d hoped. Rigorous but I'm always looking forward to it”
