Native French teacher
Creator of the French 20/80 method
You know French. Let’s make it easier to use.
You understand more than you can say. You search for familiar words, translate in your head, or find the right sentence after the conversation.
My 20/80 coaching focuses on the words and sentence patterns you actually need, with:
- Real conversation based on your life and goals
- Targeted corrections without constant interruption
- Repetition to make useful phrases easier to recall
Less to study. More French you can use.
What happens during your coaching sessions?
Every session is built around your French, your goals and the situations you actually want to handle. No generic lesson plan. No unnecessary grammar overload.
We start with real conversation
You speak about topics that are relevant to you — your life, travel, work, opinions, plans, experiences or everyday situations.
I identify what will make the biggest difference
I listen for the recurring words, structures, pronunciation issues or speaking habits that are holding you back.
We practise the useful 20%
We focus on a small number of useful phrases and sentence patterns that you can immediately reuse in real conversations.
Depending on your goals, we may work on:
80% speaking. 20% targeted correction and guidance.
Enough correction to help you progress — without interrupting you every time you speak.
Recommended level: A1 to C1. You should already have some basic French.

What my students say
Real learners. Real conversations. Real progress.
“I am no longer lost.”
Before working with Muriel, I was drowning in a sea of online resources. My learning was chaotic and not very efficient.
Muriel’s 20/80 method — focusing only on the crucial things I really need — has helped me tremendously.
I can clearly see my progress, and French people I talk to regularly compliment me on how much I have improved.
Ewa — Warsaw, Poland
“The biggest difference was how practical everything became.”
Before working with Muriel, I often felt unsure about what to focus on in French.
Every session was tailored to my needs, with materials that matched my level perfectly. The expressions, corrections and conversation patterns are things I apply immediately in real conversations.
I’m not just learning French; I’m learning French I can actually use.
Jennifer — Dallas, USA
“I understand more spoken French in daily conversations.”
My challenge was speaking and understanding spoken French. After individual coaching with Muriel, I understand more spoken French in daily conversations and interactions.
The lessons focused on conversations, listening exercises and useful phrases, which made everything much more practical.
Bridget — Singapore
“I feel much more confident speaking French.”
After 12 hours of one-to-one coaching with Muriel, I feel much more confident speaking French.
Her encouragement and personalized guidance helped me make real progress and speak with greater ease.
Gisèle — Brazil
The goal is not to sound perfect.
The goal is to feel able to speak.
