You have just arrived in Paris and you want to learn French, we can help you quickly fit into the French way of living !

Alfa Marais favours small groups  of max 7 students to learn French as quickly as possible in a friendly atmosphere.

Our teachers will be able to adapt their classes depending your level and your interests. 

Our approach is to organize workshops, giving our students the opportunity to learn French differently.

We focus on real situations (wine tasting, markets, museums, and city streets) while we share tips and secrets about real Parisian life and discovering Paris « autrement » !

We provide specific courses regarding your business activity with dedicated workshops (Business, Fashion, Tourism, Gastronomy, Oenology,...)

Please contact us !

We assist you in the preparation of exams you need like DELF, DALF, TCF and TCF-ANF (official dipoma awarded by the French Ministry of Education).

We organise "citizenship" workshops to help you improve your knowledge of French culture and society and the rights and duties of French citizens.

Our teachers are graduates with a DAEFLE or FLE Master and all of them have been living outside France for a certain period of time, so they are familiar with the needs and expectations of our learners.

Mom of 3 boys, acting expatriate, I went to Australia with my engineering degree in hand, for my first professional experience

Back in France for a few years, I then lived and worked in Germany and Asia. Each expatriation enriched me humanly and opened me to other cultures. I thus realized that integrating into a new country requires permanent will and efforts, especially concerning the learning of the language.

Speaking the language of the welcoming country is also getting acquainted with its cultural aspects. These expatriations have changed me, especially by the wealth of meetings that would not have been possible without this knowledge of the language and culture of the country. So I decided to share this with others and make my job. Graduate DAEFLE and trained in cultural mediation I devoted myself for 6 years exclusively to the teaching of French in a professional, friendly and fun way, by alternating classroom courses with socio-cultural outings oriented primarily to learning French.

Having graduated from the Ecole du Louvre (Egyptology specialty) in my early years, I obtained a FLE Master's degree upon my return from expatriation

I lived in the United States, in North Africa, and traveled South East Asia for about twenty years during which I taught French as a volunteer. Discovering other cultures, other languages, gave me a fierce desire to continue sharing my culture through the language while discovering that of the other.

It’s such an enriching mirror effect, it’s the interculturality that fascinates me the most!

My workhorse: to transmit to learners the French culture to learn the language.

Working for Alfa Marais is to set up a new pedagogical approach based on a lively and playful interaction, in other words "Learn French AUTREMENT"!

After ten years of professional experience in France (lawyer, teacher), I discovered the path of expatriation.

Another slice of life opens then: West Africa, then Eastern Europe. These years of rich encounters, cultural discoveries and openness to others can be summed up in two words: adaptation and effort.

In Poland, I realized that learning a language also means immersing yourself in the culture of the host country and sharing our differences.

Back in France, I decided to take advantage of this multiple experience, and with the DAEFLE (diploma of aptitude for teaching French as a foreign language) obtained, I started teaching French as a foreign language. My classes are based on themes adapted to each level. They are friendly, concrete and associated with workshops or outings.
