Meet Nathalie

  • About Nathalie

    Bonjour, I’m Nathalie, a native French speaker from the sunny southwest of France and a passionate educator.

    My journey as a French teacher began in 2012, after living in different countries and seeing how language connects people in the most meaningful ways.

    Certified in Teaching French as a Foreign Language (DAEFLE) and Teaching French as a Mother Tongue, I’ve enjoyed teaching students from elementary to high school both in the UK and the USA. Today, I work with students of all ages. Whether they're just beginning or preparing for an advanced exam, my students know they’ll be supported every step of the way.

  • Nathalie's teaching philosophy

    At the heart of my approach is patience, encouragement, and personalization.

    Every student is different, and I believe lessons should reflect that. I take the time to understand how each learner thinks and learns so I can adapt my teaching to meet them where they are.

    My goal is not just to teach French but to build confidence, spark curiosity, and create a space where students feel supported and proud of what they accomplish.

  • A Quote She Loves

    "What we learn with pleasure, we never forget."
    Alfred Mercier

    This quote inspires the heart of my teaching approach. When students enjoy the process, feel encouraged, and see their progress, they carry learning with them for life.

Our Approach

Personalized Learning That Puts You First

No two learners are the same, so why should their lessons be?
At Pyrenea Tutoring, each session is custom-designed to match your level, learning style, and goals, whether mastering grammar, prepping for an AP or IB exam, or simply gaining confidence in conversation.

A Safe Space to Learn, Mistakes and Grow

Mistakes are welcome here, they’re part of the journey!
We foster a warm, judgment-free environment where students feel comfortable speaking up, trying new things, and growing at their own pace.

Collaborative Learning Experience

This is not a one-way lecture!
We believe in learning through connection, with discussions, interactive exercises, real-life roleplays, and topics that matter to you. We’re in this together, and your progress is our shared mission.

Testimonials

  • Middle & High school students

    “Thanks to Nathalie, both our kids would have no trouble studying or working in France. She tailors each lesson to their needs, is always well-prepared, and thoughtfully designs a strong learning plan to ensure steady progress and the right level of challenge. Nathalie is truly a gem!”

  • IB French Student

    “I have learned a lot about the culture and the language. I have been able to improve my vocabulary as well as reading and listening skills, which has helped me heavily in my class. Thank you!”

  • AP French Student

    “Nathalie was my son’s French tutor 10 years ago and when he needed help to study for the AP French this year, he asked me to contact her because he remembered how great she was. Nathalie is only an amazing teacher but she is competent, organized, supportive and encouraging and you can see that she loves teaching, helping her students reach their goals. I have known her for many years and I will recommend her to anyone who wants to learn or be better in French, or reach a certain level in French for exam. I am so grateful to have her as our French Tutor.”

  • Primary & Lower school students

    Nathalie provided academic support to our two children (ages 8 and 11, in primary/lower school) throughout the 2024–2025 school year. The children never complained; on the contrary, they enjoyed working with Nathalie, who is a skilled and caring educator who adapts easily to each child’s level and needs. We are truly grateful for her help. Not only is she kind and reliable, but our children’s school reports showed clear improvement over the year, especially in their foundational grammar skills in French. Thank you for everything, Nathalie!
