Ways to work with me
Every format, with the fee in plain sight.
Everything starts with the same free 45-minute trial lesson. After it, I recommend one format — or none, if you do not need one.

Free trial lesson
Forty-five minutes on video with me, free. It is a real lesson built around your situation, so you can judge how I teach — and I can hear exactly where your French slows down.
- 5 minutes on your goals and the situations where you need French
- About 30 minutes of real practice: conversation and short speaking tasks, with live corrections
- 10 minutes of feedback: what is blocking you and what to practise first
- My honest recommendation — including when a program is not worth it for you

Your choice, with no pressure. If you go ahead, I send the invoice and we plan your sessions.
The practical side
Payment, lessons and lateness
- Payment
- Payment in euros. The trial lesson is free and no payment details are asked. Programs are paid by PayPal or bank transfer once enrolment is confirmed. Bank details are only sent privately with your invoice.
- Where lessons happen
- Lessons normally take place on Charles’s private video-learning platform. If an exceptional technical problem occurs, the lesson may be moved to Microsoft Teams.
- Lateness and missed lessons
- If a student arrives late, the lesson still ends at the scheduled time. If the student has not joined by the halfway point of the booked session, the lesson is considered missed.
