I invite you to discover Amélie's world—or rather, let's discover it together.
Who are you, Amélie?
I’m a native Frenchwoman from the Champagne region, passionate about travel, cooking, and scuba diving… I’m currently living in Indonesia, my husband’s home country, and I split my time and my life between France and Asia. Ever since I was a child, I wanted to be an elementary school teacher; I made that dream come true, and then I created my own world!!!!
Can you tell us more about what you offer?
I’m the founder of “French Escape by Amélie,” an online school dedicated to expats in France. As a French coach, I specialize in supporting beginner learners, from level A0 to A2-B1. My passion is helping my students build their confidence and feel comfortable speaking French.
Why did you choose to specialize in working with expats?
I’ve personally lived as an expat and learned several foreign languages, which allows me to fully understand my students’ challenges and guide them through every stage of their learning journey. I work with people who are new to France and feel a bit lost when it comes to the language, helping them become independent in their daily lives as quickly as possible.
How have you incorporated coaching techniques into your teaching?
My approach goes far beyond simply teaching the language: I’m here to inspire and motivate my students to step outside their comfort zones. Through customized coaching programs, I offer small-group classes, one-on-one sessions, and conversation workshops—all specifically designed to improve their speaking skills and comprehension.
You’re not content with just being a teacher?
That’s right—learning French isn’t just about memorizing words and rules; it’s about building the confidence and freedom to communicate in French, no matter what obstacles arise. With French Escape, my students really take flight, developing solid language skills and the self-confidence that allows them to fully integrate into their new life in France.
How can people get in touch with you?
I have a website and a LinkedIn account, but the easiest way to get a sense of what I offer is to subscribe to my weekly newsletter. https://mailchi.mp/frenchescapebyamelie.fr/join-my-newsletter
I try to provide valuable content based on current events or the time of year to best meet my learners’ needs. Most of the time, they’re the ones who give me ideas for useful topics to cover.
