Hi there, I’m Sandra
I help learners of all ages fall in love with the French language through stories, music, and simple, memorable input. I believe in teaching French with clarity, creativity, and care — one meaningful step at a time.
Bio
Bonjour ! I’m Sandra, an experienced Franco-British French specialist with over 15 years of teaching experience across primary, secondary, and online settings.
I’ve taught learners from all over the world — from London classrooms to home-schooled families in Los Angeles and I've seen one truth again and again: students remember French when it feels meaningful.
That's why I created French Made Simple — a story-based, music-driven approach that gives beginners clear, visual input and confidence-building practice.
Through my lessons, songs, and worksheets, I aim to make French accessible, memorable, and enjoyable for real classrooms and busy teachers.
Let’s make learning French feel simple — and even a little fun.
