Au Pair Courses

Being an au pair in France is a unique life experience, but balancing host family responsibilities with learning a new language can be challenging. Not to mention that the price for a good quality French program can be outrageous considering the typical au pair wage. My language courses are built specifically around the daily reality and schedule of au pairs living in France. I decided to propose an affordable program without compromising on quality.

Whether you are a total beginner trying to communicate with your host children or an intermediate speaker looking to gain fluency and pass an official exam, my programs provide the practical tools you need to feel confident speaking French every day.

Designed for the Au Pair Lifestyle

Standard language schools often feature rigid timetables and traditional grammar-heavy methods that do not reflect your daily routine. Here is why my au pair courses are different:

Practical topics: Based on the Cosmopolite manuals, I adapt the lessons so you can immediately apply the concepts learned to your daily life as an au pair.
Flexible online learning: Attend classes from home without worrying about extra commuting time. Enjoy just 1 hour per week of live practice, complemented by exercises to complete on your own each day.
Ongoing weekly support: Access exercises, vocabulary tips, and personalized guidance between live sessions.
