French School in Paris.

Animated GIF featuring a series of colorful illustrated tables depicting iconic symbols and elements of Paris.

The French Pool is a high-end, in-person and online French school based in the heart of Paris. The school is accessible from the beginner level (A1) to the most advanced level (C2). 

  • The French Pool is very, very Parisian. In fact, the school collaborates with a curator of Parisian addresses to create the right atmosphere, always in the heart of the Capital. Our salons, all located in the central arrondissements (I, II, II, IX, VIII), are never far from a Parisian marvel such as the Louvre, the Tuileries Gardens, Place VendĂŽme, the Paris Opera or the Palais Royal gardens. As for the Seine and its iconic quays, it's always just a few boulangeries away. Parisian to the core.

The Real

French Test

Assessed by

a real human ⌛

The French Pool was born from a simple observation: the method, although essential, is not enough. The success of learning a foreign language also depends on the teaching style and pace.

Native French speaker and French teacher based in Paris, graduate of the Alliance Française de Paris, I also have a degree in industrial design and a solid experience as a communication corporate manager.

With over 15 years of experience in teaching French in France and abroad (Brazil, Ecuador, Cameroon, Indonesia), I count among my partners and clients flagship establishments and prestigious schools.

Learn French with an

expert French tutor.

Nowadays, I work with Panthéon-Sorbonne University, HEC business school, leading institutions such as Alliance Française de Paris, Paris City Hall, Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and international private French schools (LSI Paris), as well as with international organizations (World Bank, Global Partnership for Education).
