Become a Fluent French Speaker

I help American expats in France confidently handle daily interactions without freezing up, in 3 hours a week, without going back to school.🇫🇷

I think I know why

You Can't Speak French Fluently

🇫🇷 You’ve been dedicating countless hours to French classes, yet there’s still a looming sense that it might take another 5 years to express yourself fluently in French

🇫🇷 You don’t like your accent

🇫🇷 You don’t feel confident when you want to express yourself

One of the main problems

The Problem Lies in How French is Taught 👩🏻‍🏫

You’re diligent in class, but progress seems to elude you. Let me tell you the truth: the issue lies with the teachers!

🧑🏻‍🏫 Most of them grew up in a traditional education system and experienced traditional teacher training. Naturally, they then teach you French in a traditional manner. But something essential is missing in their classes and approach!

🧠 First, they are not trained in neuroscience. They don’t understand how your brain works. It’s like trying to learn to ride a bike with a flat tire and a loose chain!

Traditional teachers guide you for an hour, and that’s it! They might give you exercises to do at home, but do you really want to relive the student status of your 12-year-old self? 👧🏼

They hold the control, which doesn’t help you explore resources you enjoy, use them effectively, or form new habits.

The teachers aren’t to blame. After all, this is what they experienced as students, and in their training.

👵🏼 Second, they’ve never experienced Montessori pedagogy. Most of them have never heard of it, or they have a very superficial knowledge.

The roles are clear-cut: they are the teacher, and you are the student.

They want to maintain control of your learning to keep you as a student for as long as possible, probably because they don’t know how to help you regain control of your learning!

🚀 It’s time to discover how to tailor-make your own French-speaking environment!

And have fun! Enthusiasm is the fertilizer of the brain!

If you know what to do, if you enjoy doing it and if you actually do it, you will improve!

Marie's testimonial

I currently have the pleasure of working closely with Céline Guerreiro as her student, and I can confidently say she is an outstanding professional and an excellent teacher.

Céline’s ability to creatively and precisely tackle the complex challenges her students experience in learning a new language is inspiring. She has a remarkable talent for helping American expats speak French fluently using the Montessori teaching method. What’s more, she consistently delivers results that meet and exceed expectations, instilling confidence in her students.

Céline’s dedication to her work is evident in everything she does. She is proactive, continually seeking ways to improve processes and outcomes that directly help her students. Her attention to detail ensures that nothing is overlooked. What truly sets her apart is her collaborative approach and excellent interpersonal skills, which make her a joy to work with and highly respected. Her proactive nature and her use of the Montessori Language Coaching Program will make you feel secure in her hands.

Whether you are learning because you will be positioned in France, have clients there, are planning a retirement there, or simply because you may enjoy traveling to the City of Light or elsewhere in France, I highly recommend Céline Guerreiro for helping you, someone you know or your staff who want to learn or refresh their knowledge of the French language. Her expertise, work ethic, and commitment to her students’ success are commendable.

Montessori isn't just for children!

What's Different with the Montessori Language School?

My goal is to help you regain control of your French learning! 🎯

In 6 months you’ll know how to learn French efficiently, and then you won’t need me anymore! You’ll have your language partner to keep improving.
Of course, I’ll always be here for you if you want to continue our journey, but after 6 months you’ll be able to continue your learning independently!

I’m not offering you the traditional weekly French class. 📖

I’m not the teacher, and you’re not a student. I’m a Montessori teacher, and you’re a learner. And that distinction makes all the difference.

I’ll show you how to choose your own resources, decide on topics that excite you, check a grammar point when needed, develop a growth mindset, develop your self-discipline, and create new habits.

I’ll also match you with a French native speaker because practicing with a native speaker is one of the strongest advantages of the program. 👩🏼‍🦳👨🏽

Let me help you regain control of your learning and speak French confidently! 🇫🇷

Why he decided to join the Montessori Language Coaching Program

Bruce's testimonial

"I have a sense of confidence that you trust that I will be able to do it. I can feel that."

Cynthia's testimonial

« I highly recommend Céline if you’re looking to improve your fluency in French.
I had studied 5 years of French when I was a student but hadn’t used it in 30 years when I decided I wanted to restart my studies.
The method of teaching foreign language when I was a student was grammar based and focused on memorization but even after years of study I wasn’t fluent.

Céline’s Montessori approach plus her knowledge of neuroscience have proven to be excellent at getting me back on the path towards fluency.
Having Céline to practice speaking and writing with along with the native speaking language partner she pairs you with have been invaluable in improving my French.

Her advice on ways to immerse yourself in the language are also critical to getting back in practice and improving comprehension.
I am so glad I decided to work with her and I’m looking forward to practicing my French the next time I visit. »

A Concept Dear to My Heart

Accountability - the essential ingredient

Here’s an illustration of this concept, which is very dear to my heart for language learning.

When it comes to meeting with your language partner, the concept of accountability will help you show up every week!

🎯 You have dozens of exciting things to share with your language partner!

🎯 You love your meaningful conversations!

🎯 You joyfully nurture your social connections!

🎯 Your partner needs your help to be able to make rapid progress in English!

🎯 You don’t want the risk of your dynamic partnership coming to an end!

That’s an illustration of the concept of accountability! 🤝

So, do you think you’ll have more chance of becoming fluent by taking classes? Or by practicing on an app? Or by interacting with a human being who shares your interests?

Don’t miss your chance to befriend a French speaker who is deeply involved in learning English.

In addition to engaging with your language partner starting from the 4th session, you’re also working with me! 👩

I’m your « accountability partner »!

Every week, you share your progress with me! Hand in hand, you create good habits to become a fulfilled French speaker.

Arnell's success

« Before joining the Montessori language program, I wanted to improve my conversational French.

My previous learning experiences were more traditional, focusing on grammar and vocabulary using educational resources.

The program unlocked a more immersive French environment for me.

Engaging with podcasts, music, flashcards and reading materials in French has significantly enhanced my speaking, listening, and reading skills.

I feel much more confident speaking in French now.

The daily support and interaction have made a big difference and the continuous support is invaluable.

Every day, I send phrases to Céline and my language partner, Carole, and I always receive helpful feedback.

I appreciate my interactions with Céline and Carole because they help me overcome my shyness around native speakers, allowing me to engage more comfortably and confidently in conversations. »
