🟦 French Classes in Los Angeles, Malibu & New York — A Complete Practice Method for Americans
GoodFrenchTips is a French learning platform created by French teachers in the United States. It helps American learners practice French through conversation, cultural content, live workshops, and guided progress programs.
French expertise. Real teachers. A proven Method.
GoodFrenchTips was founded by Violaine de Landes, Master’s graduate of La Sorbonne (Paris) and current professor at the Alliance Française de Los Angeles . She is also a TCF-certified instructor, guiding learners from A1 to B2.
Language apps can help you start. But real progress requires structure, feedback, and human guidance.
That is why GoodFrenchTips is built around a clear and structured Learning Method — combining speaking, writing, reading, listening, assessment, and teacher feedback.

🟦 Hélène Renaut a teacher at the Alliance Française of Los Angeles
My original degrees are in Music and Literature. After falling in love with San Francisco and moving to California, I taught French and Music in French-American schools while pursuing a career as a singer-songwriter. I now specialize in private and group instruction in Los Angeles. My experience includes accent coaching off and on set, translation and interpretation. I believe in the parallels between language and music learning, fostering rapid progress tailored to students' needs. Working with children, adults and colleagues of different backgrounds and cultures, I have learnt to adapt to various publics, develop sound educational plans, and use patience and empathy to relate to my students and enhance their learning. I am looking forward to helping you along on this linguistic and cultural adventure!
