Preparing for an exam requires seriousness and pleasure
It’s hard to improve your language skills if you’d rather clean your apartment from top to bottom than study French.
I will help you pass the DELF certification (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) with fun and tailor-made support.
Being alone in front of your paper on exam day can quickly become stressful. So imagine doing your revisions and preparing yourself properly without really knowing what to do.
Which courses should I review?
What concepts do you need to know inside out?
Is it better to prepare for listening or writing?
If you bring a croissant as a snack, will you get bonus points?
My tailor-made preparation courses are there to support you all the way, hand in hand. Beforehand, we analyze your level, your gaps and your areas for improvement. I then design personalized courses to help you make rapid progress and pass these official certifications without too much stress.

3 months of support to succeed

EXCELLENT Basée sur 23 avis Markus Heeb2025-03-20 Es macht Spass mit Daria Französisch zu lernen die Lektionen sind spannend und genau an mein Niveau angepasst. Martyn Mckean2025-03-15 We can’t praise Daria enough for the help and confidence she has given us during our time learning to speak french with her over the past few months. We have definitely progressed with our language skills and knowledge during our time with her. She includes everyday practical language skills in her teaching, so you can immediately go and use this in the real world, (it’s not just endlessly repeating sentences that you don’t need). This has given us the confidence to talk to local people, and understand what they are saying in reply. Being able to speak and understand a little bit more french has made life here so much more enjoyable. She has also given us a better understanding of real everyday french life and its diverse culture, especially lots of background information on Brittany where we now live. If you really want to make real progress in learning french, I have no hesitation in recommending La French Zone. Kate Lukacs2025-02-02 I highly recommend La French Zone for improving your French. If you are on the fence, do it! I just completed my first block with Daria and she is absolutely phenomenal. Every private course is tailored specifically to the student. I wanted to learn more about sailing terms in French as I live on a sailboat and she created specific content for me that incorporated grammar but I also learned about a specific topic!! I also enjoyed the short lessons on French culture as well. Couldn’t recommend enough. Heather Christensen2024-12-16 I have been working with Daria for 2 months since moving to France. I've never studied French before, so I have a lot of learning to do! She has been patient and kind with my beginner level, and is overall a very competent, warm, and fun teacher to learn with. I plan to continue my lessons with her and the school as I settle into my new home over the next several months. I highly recommend her services to anyone who wants to increase their French abilities and understanding of French culture. 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!

FAQ
DELF stands for Diplôme d’Études en Langue Française, and DALF for Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française. These are official French language certifications issued by the French Ministry of Education to validate your skills in French as a foreign language. Both diplomas are valid for life, and can prove your level of proficiency if required by an employer.
DELF has four levels, from A1 to B2. The DALF corresponds to the most advanced levels: C1 and C2.
