About Monique
I'm a native French speaker and have lived in Ireland for over thirty years. I've spent most of my working life teaching my language: more than twenty years with the Alliance Française, and over ten giving grinds to students preparing for the Leaving and Junior Certificate. I now teach online, working with secondary students and adult learners all over Ireland. I'm patient with students who are nervous about speaking, as most are at the start. I correct carefully rather than constantly: a student afraid of making mistakes stops talking, and a student who stops talking doesn't improve. Lessons are relaxed, but we work.

All lessons are online, one to one, and built around speaking. Most students arrive knowing far more French than they can actually use. They hesitate, translate in their heads, and lose marks through lack of practice speaking aloud, not lack of knowledge.Regular conversation with a native speaker fixes that faster than anything else.
I focus on the three things that decide how a student performs on the day:
Pronunciation: accent, liaison, rhythm, and the vowel sounds that don't exist in English, corrected properly and early, before habits set.
Fluency: speaking without pausing to translate, built through repeated, unhurried conversation rather than memorised scripts, which examiners recognise instantly.
Confidence: the oral is as much nerves as knowledge. By the time we've worked through the material dozens of times, walking into the exam feels like just another lesson.
Leaving Cert: full oral preparation, including the general conversation and the optional document if a student chooses to bring one. Grammar and written work are covered alongside, so the whole course improves rather than one paper. Ordinary and Higher Level, at any stage from fifth year onwards.
Junior Cycle: building a solid foundation in speaking, listening and grammar, so that senior cycle French starts from a position of strength.
Adults: complete beginners, people returning to French years after school, and confident speakers who have plateaued are all welcome. Lessons are built around what you need the language for: travel, conversation, work, or simply one hour a week speaking French with someone who will correct you properly.
How lessons run: video call, with corrections, notes and vocabulary shared on screen and sent afterwards so there's something to revise from. No travel, easy to fit around school or work, and simple to add extra sessions in the run-up to the oral exam. Lessons run in French wherever the student's level allows, with explanations in English whenever something needs unpicking.
