About Me

Bonjour!

Je m’appelle Natalie!

I started Elevate French with one goal: to help adult learners increase their confidence and comprehension in French.

As someone who has learned French, I know the difficulties that you are facing. My PhD in language teaching and learning has armed me with the tools to help you overcome obstacles and learn French through authentic resources including music, film, and social media.

I hold a PhD in Language Teaching and Learning from the University of Arizona

Meet Dr. Nat, Owner of Elevate French.

Ma Mission

I help adults meet their goals of speaking French to travel or work in France or Québec. In my Group Courses or 1-on-1 courses for intermediate students and rusty beginners, we work on building speaking confidence by improving grammar and pronunciation accuracy and expanding your vocabulary with fun French-Language resources.
