My individual and group French lessons
French courses
Become comfortable with French and enjoy chatting with your new acquaintances. Without fear of losing your words or not understanding what’s being said to you.

Improve your French to finally understand what’s being said around you.
The phrase “Bonjour, comment ça va ?” will no longer trigger a panic attack when you have to respond to the person asking you that question.
Today, this is probably what’s holding you back:
You have difficulty understanding what is being said to you and making yourself understood in return; you lack the basics of the French language.
You don’t have enough vocabulary, and you feel that it isolates you at work and in your social life.
You have difficulty understanding what is being said to you and making yourself understood in return; you lack the basics of the French language.
You lack confidence in your abilities and you’re struggling to make progress.
You feel like you’re stagnating in your language learning and don’t know how to break through this situation.
You’d like to come live in France for work or for pleasure, but the language seems complicated to learn, and you’re afraid you won’t succeed in integrating professionally.
You already live in the country, but you struggle to build your life here because you’re having trouble finding your place.
All of this frustrates you.
Understanding and speaking the language is just one step to truly feeling comfortable in a new country. Learning the traditions and adopting professional codes will help you fully integrate into France and thrive in your new life.
My individual and group French lessons are designed to provide you with practical and engaging tools, as well as cultural insights, to help you thrive professionally in France.
If you want to make friends and work in France, I have two options for you:
My one-to-one lessons are designed to help you make rapid progress on specific problems.
Learning with a private French teacher is your guarantee of staying motivated for those moments when you feel like giving up.
I’m here to help you make progress with visible results and make you want to keep going, even when you want to stop.
I know, it would be so much easier if French men and women spoke better English.

One-to-one lessons will help you learn faster:
I tailor my lessons to suit your level and needs.
I'm available just for you, to listen to your speaking practice, answer your questions and correct your homework. Individualized follow-up is at the heart of our relationship.
I go at your own pace and lessons are organized according to your availability.
Don’t worry, I won’t become the boring teacher you hated so much in high school.

We work together:
Your speech

My group courses for learning French in a dynamic way.
Do you want to make progress without being alone?
My group courses are made up of 4 or 5 people who share the same desire as you: to learn the French language and live a new life.
Interacting with other people will give you the chance to talk as if you were in your everyday life, meeting new people or talking to your colleagues. The discussion is natural and spontaneous, and the atmosphere is non-judgmental.

My group French lessons are designed to help :
You'll meet other foreigners who want to learn the language. You'll be able to motivate each other in your learning and discuss your difficulties. You'll all be at the same level, so don't panic!
You'll improve your French not only by practicing, but also by listening to others. You'll strengthen your understanding and be able to self-correct your own mistakes.
You interact with other people in situations similar to everyday life.
You progress at your own pace.
You will be supported throughout this adventure by your teacher (Marie or Daria) and by the other students.
You’re never on your own. Whether it’s me (Daria) leading the group or Marie, the second French teacher for foreigners, we never leave you out.
Groups are kept small so that we can give our full attention to each individual.
During these group French lessons we work together on the points that will enable you to become autonomous:

Here is what my students say about our lessons.
They've taken the plunge, why shouldn't you?
EXCELLENT Basée sur 22 avis 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! 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
