Salut, je suis Alex

I help English speakers speak French with confidence.

I TAUGHT MYSELF FRENCH AS AN ADULT

NOW I COACH YOU to do the same

That's right. I'm not French! I'm English and I found a passion for the French language 6 years ago.

Once I'd gone beyond the very basics, I stopped getting value from non-personalised language classes. Yet, I needed the language on a daily basis because by this point, I'd moved to France!

So, I taught myself. No one knows me better than myself. Boy, it took BEAUCOUP de trial and error, and crises of confidence, but I got here.

Now, through French in Plain Sight, the most fulfilling thing I can do is to help others who are following my path. Those French learners who are frustrated from not making the progress they want with the language.

I wasn't sure and not confident to start speaking French and always trying to postpone saying I need to finish this book, I need to master grammar...and learn vocabulary which never ends. There is always new words to learn...
What Alex told me to do was just start. He gave me the confidence that in order to speak we need to start speaking now. There is no right timing and it's ok to make mistakes. We learn by talking.

COACHING STUDENTS

Before working with Alex, I was frustrated with myself for not focusing on French more. I was also switching to English whenever possible, as it was easier.

Now, I feel much more confident about putting myself into situations now where I will have to speak French and not automatically switching to English when the chance comes.

The coaching made me focus on integrating French into my everyday life and much more willing to put myself into situations where I had to speak French.

After just 1 session:

I think I've really started to believe in myself and the idea of being able to hold a conversation in French. It's a weird feeling! Long may it last!

Now, I have more direction, more organization in how I create my goals and feel that I have a system in place for me to more easily attempt and complete the things I have set for myself. Thank you for everything. It was a great experience!

1:1 Coaching Student Alex's Experience

LEARNING FRENCH IS MUCH MORE THAN JUST foreign words

What if I told you that a huge factor in your success with French is a healthy mindset and an ability to overcome your obstacles?

You've probably felt like French is impossible or neverending at some point, right? Moi aussi, so many times in the past.

When you work on acceptance of that, the whole process gets easier and you see progress much more consistently.
