Here is what my students say about our lessons.
EXCELLENT Basée sur 19 avis Coconuts Sail Team2024-10-03 Daria is an exceptional French language teacher, she is very invested in her students learning, is extremely organised, knowledgable, experienced, well mannered, professional yet friendly... she has so many extraordinary qualities. I highly recommend her! Helen Kennedy2024-09-15 I can't recommend Daria highly enough. I'm doing individual lessons both online and in person. I had found after many group courses and having passed B2, I knew lots of stuff but needed it to be knitted together to improve my spoken French in daily life. Daria doesn't slavishly follow the text book but focuses on what I need to work on. Daria is very organised and focused. I really like that she encourages and pushes me appropriately. Her classes are definitely worth the investment. Alan Hill2024-07-16 I started with La French Zone on the 28th of May with Marie, initially purchasing the 1-1 24-hour package. I was a bit skeptical at first because I thought learning French over a video call might be challenging for me. However, I was pleasantly surprised—La French Zone works very well over Zoom. I've greatly benefited from La French Zone. I feel I've been accommodated perfectly to my current level, and I really enjoy my classes. Initially, I was a bit shy and nervous to learn and try speaking French, but that quickly changed. I've now decided to engage further and book another course because I feel I've found the right place to really learn French, thanks to La French Zone. Merci beaucoup, Daria and Marie! Rafael Simão de Siqueira2024-07-16 I had larne with La French Zone for my it's very important to say because I can see my progression day bye day, the theater is very calm and have a good explanation for my question about the language and I am happy for making class with La French Zone 😊........ Lili Calisto2024-01-18 Daria est une excellente professeur! À l'écoute de mes besoins et mes difficultés, elle a su me tenir motivée et a adapté très bien ses méthodes et le contenu des ses cours. Grâce à elle j'ai réussi mon delf b2 tranquillement. A Daria é uma professora fantastica ! Capaz de personalizar o ensino do frances a cada aluno. O seu profissionalismo e a sua motivacao sao excepcionais. Resultados desde das primeiras aulas. Habanera 802023-12-05 Daria is a fantastic teacher with a lot of knowledge on teaching french as a second language. I've had formal french classes in the past 3 years with other well known french schools but Daria's 1:1 classes really made the big difference for me. Firstly, She is very organized and lays out well thought out plans and structure for our classes. I was really impressed by the detail and extent of my personalised program. I also particularly love the flexibility of classes (we spent classes just on oral and building my confidence in speaking for example) and other classes on topics relevant to me. Overall, I'm very happy with my classes! Nina G2023-12-03 Daria is incredible, I dragged my feet on improving my French for ages, but thank god I found her! She's an absolutely brilliant teacher who cares passionately about your progress and constantly adapts her lessons to target your weak points while also ensuring that every lesson is fun and engaging. Beyond the pedagogical, her presence is magical - she's always kind, thoughtful, encouraging, a true burst of sunshine (whereas I tend to be more of a storm cloud, prone to meltdowns and frustration when it comes to French grammar haha - but she kept me sane, motivated, and most of all, my French improved DRAMATICALLY. In roughly 4 months I went from a shaky A1/A2 to smashing the TCF with a B2 on the spoken interview and B1 on the oral comprehension and essays. The fact I swung those scores is nothing short of a miracle, and Daria was the miracle worker behind it. I cannot recommend her more highly, thank you thank you thank you Daria xoxoxoxo alexis denorme2023-12-01 Ce fut un plaisir de collaborer avec Daria sur la création de son site internet, très sympathique et professionnelle. Je recommande Daria à 100% Fiona Mason2023-11-29 I’ve been living between France and the UK since 2021, slowly renovating an old village house in the Ariege Pyrenees. I now know a lot of french terms for bricolage and can order plasterboard and plumbing supplies with relative ease but I have struggled with making basic conversation about the price of bread. A year of French at high school in the 1970s was just not enough of a foundation. Integration is all about commnication and I wanted more. A friend recommended Brittany based La French Zone and its founder Daria Marlardé and after one semester I feel I’ve made huge progress. I am now able to have conversations with my neighbours and I’m making new friends. Lessons, which are all on zoom, are a lively mix of conversation, grammar and vocabulary. Daria’s a brilliant teacher and her style is just the right combination of formal and informal. She is encouraging, clear and no question is too silly. Lessons are well paced, creating a solid foundation on which to build each subsequent module. The regular newsletters from La French Zone offer fascinating insights into french language and culture providing a rich context for your studies. If you want to improve your french and get to a position where you can natter with your neighbours and converse with confidence, then I highly recommend checking out La French Zone. I’m still a beginner, but have ambitions to reach DELF B2 level French. I now feel like I’m well on my way to achieving that goal. Jessica Shady2023-11-28 Daria was a fantastic teacher and really helped me develop confidence in my speaking skills. She was always prepared with custom lessons and did a great job of identifying when and how to address the different topics to maximize my growth as a student. So happy with my investment and would absolutely recommend Daria to anyone wanting to level up on their French skills!
French for professional integration
Turn your high school crush into an official relationship: love French like never before.
I would never promise you that I would learn French in just three weeks using miracle (and somewhat questionable) techniques.
However, I can guarantee that I will be by your side throughout this wonderful adventure of learning a language and the traditions of a country. For several weeks or a few months, I will do everything I can to support you in your professional and personal integration. I will never let you give up or come to dislike French.
