About Princilya

Geneva is one of the most international cities in the world - home to the UN, WHO, Red Cross, CERN, and over 40 global organizations. Over 41% of Geneva's population are foreign residents. And yet, French is non-negotiable here: for your work permit integration, your daily life, your career progression, and your professional credibility.

I'm Princilya, a French coach with 10+ years of experience helping professionals go from complete beginner to confident, functional French - in under a year.

I work exclusively with working adults: international organization employees, finance professionals, executives, and expats who need French that actually works in real life - not just on paper.

My approach is different from a language school:
Every session is built around a real dialogue. Your industry. Your conversations. Your actual life in Geneva. No textbooks. No paper grammar exercises.

We focus on speaking under pressure - because that's where French matters most.
Whether you need French for your workplace, your integration requirements, your DELF/DALF exam, or simply to stop feeling like an outsider in this city - I can get you there.

What my students achieve:
A1 to B2 in 8 to 12 months. Conversational confidence in professional settings. DELF B2 exam readiness. Real integration into francophone life in Geneva.

I offer private 1:1 sessions fully tailored to your schedule and your goals. Online via Zoom or in person in Geneva.
Book a free 30-minute consultation and we'll map out exactly where you are and what it takes to get where you need to be.

About the lesson

Each session is a private 1:1 class built entirely around you - your level, your goals, your schedule.

We start with a free 30-minute assessment to identify exactly where you are and what's blocking your progress. From there, every session follows a dialogue-first structure: we work through real conversations you'll actually need - at work, in meetings, at government offices, in daily life in Geneva.

No textbooks. No grammar tables copied from a board. Every grammar point is introduced naturally through the dialogue, so it sticks.

A typical session looks like this:

Warm-up in French - a question, a situation, a scenario from your week

Core dialogue tailored to your profession or daily context
Focused grammar and vocabulary pulled directly from the dialogue

Free production - you speak, I listen, I correct in real time
One oral task to practice before the next session

Sessions run 60 minutes. We meet 1 to 2 times per week depending on your goals and timeline.

Everything is online via Zoom - flexible, no commute, fits around your schedule in Geneva. *** for in person inquire ***

If you're preparing for the DELF exam, sessions are structured progressively toward your target level with mock oral exams built in from Month 2 onward.

What an absolute joy it was to work with Princilya. I came to her with a goal to achieve better french diction, specifically focusing on complex poetry by Max Jacob. She made sure to break down every phoneme in order to help me achieve a much better french sound. She also made time to teach me some beginning grammar and helped me create a personal introduction in french. Lastly, She was incredibly accommodating when I needed to reschedule and opened her home to me to have our lessons. 10/10

Princilya is very kind and caring. I knew nothing about French 5 months ago and I can now have a comfortable conversation when I travel and go to restaurants. She was very patient with me and I recommended her to everyone.
