Certified, Coucou-trained teachers

Work one-on-one with a native French-speaking teacher trained in the Coucou Method™ and our approach to teaching adults. Your teacher gets to know how you learn, where you get stuck, and what you want to work on, then adapts each session accordingly.

You get the attention of a private teacher, with the structure and teaching philosophy of Coucou behind them.

THE COUCOU CURRICULUM, YOUR WAY

Private classes go beyond conversation practice. Your teacher can draw from the Coucou Method™, our in-house curriculum, exercises, learning resources, and short films and videos from 6pm in Paris to build lessons around your goals.

Need to review a grammar point, prepare for a trip, work on pronunciation, or spend an hour speaking? The material can flex with you without losing the structure behind it.

PRIVATE CLASSES, FULL COUCOU EXPERIENCE

Private doesn’t mean disconnected. You’re still learning inside the wider Coucou ecosystem, with French culture, events, 6pm in Paris, and a community of people finding their own way into the language.

Your class can stay focused entirely on you, while your French has plenty of places to go beyond the lesson.
