I’m Delphine — your friendly TCF Canada mastery coach.
Let’s be honest: this exam can feel like a mix of speed-dating, grammar gymnastics, and a psychological test you didn’t sign up for!
I am a Native French speaker and I have been teaching professionally for 16 years, which means I’ve seen everything! But my job is simple: I take normal humans and train them to be linguistic athletes. I turn stressed applicants into confident French-speaking champions.
You don’t just learn French . . .
You master it.
And you end up speaking better French than some French people I know.
With real conversation, strategic grammar, past-exam practice, and a lot of laughing-at-your-mistakes therapy, I help my students get the scores they need for residency — and actually enjoy the process without losing their sanity!
I needed to revive my French after more than 15 years of not speaking a word to pass the TCF. Delphine guided me in a very focused manner through all the exam requirements, giving lots of support materials and recommendations for individual study after our lessons. This was the most efficient language training I ever had (and I speak 4 foreign languages).
Delphine is an excellent French teacher. She is experienced, sharp, friendly, encouraging, and patient. Her teaching is clear and well structured, and she adapts carefully to the student’s level and needs. I worked with other teachers before Delphine, and those experiences were challenging and unproductive. Working with her has been entirely different. She creates a supportive learning environment while maintaining high standards and intellectual precision. I have made a significant progress in a short period of time which speaks to the effectiveness of her approach. I highly recommend Delphine to anyone who is serious about learning French and willing to engage in a thoughtful and rewarding learning journey.
I started learning French from 0. My target is TCF CLB 7 or B2 in all categories within 12 months. In only 3 months of studies, we’ve covered the whole grammar and started working on exam-specific tasks. Delphine’s approach is individual, friendly, productive, and full of positive energy. She always provides suggestions for improvement. Now, after 4 months of studying, I can understand texts, comprehend and engage in simple conversations, and express my thoughts in writing. I highly recommend Delphine for exam preparation and overall French learning.
I have been taking French lessons with Delphine for a year, and she is truly amazing. Enthusiastic, energetic, and highly flexible, she guided me from A1 to fully prepared for the TCF Canada B1 level in a short period of time. Her one-on-one classes are always engaging, practical, and fun. Learning French with Delphine has been both effective and thoroughly enjoyable.
Delphine is one of the most amazing French tutor. She is very passionate about teaching French to beginners and pushes you to the limit to make sure you succeed and understand. She is very flexible, understanding, and patient with her students. Her main goal is to make sure you succeed. I wholeheartedly recommend her as your tutor. You will succeed.
I really enjoy my French studying experience with Delphine. If you are looking for someone to help you with French exam, she is really good at that. Even as a beginner as myself, she would help me build up my grammar and vocabulary. And we do exam specific training each week. With her help, I can feel my French level is much better than before. Although I’m still in studying process, I believe with her help I will definitely be able to achieve B2 level!
I spoke french when I was little but then stopped when I was 6. After years of not speaking it and trying on my own to developed it on my own I decided to find some help. I have studied with Delphine for 1 year and she has taken me from struggling with sentences to speaking with confidence. She has tailored her lessons to me and shown me many different ways to learn it. Her personality has helped give me motivation when I have felt frustrated or disheartened. She is the perfect guide for learning French.
Delphine is an excellent teacher with extensive experience preparing students for the TCF French exam. She has an impressive range of resources, all specifically designed to support test-taking and effective success strategies. I started working with her only a few weeks ago, and I’ve already seen a significant improvement in my French.
My lessons with Delphine began about five months ago. Before starting, I struggled with pronunciation and proper sentence conjugation, as I had no prior knowledge of French. I was connected with Delphine through a trusted source, and from the very first month, I noticed remarkable improvement. That progress has only continued to grow since then. Delphine has taught me to approach language learning in a fun and engaging way, using progressive steps that match my current level and advance naturally with my improvement, without ever feeling overwhelming. I would highly recommend her to anyone eager to learn French the right way, whether as a complete beginner like myself or as a more advanced speaker, whether for exams or for recreation.
