Hi, I’m Olivia.
I’m a French teacher, psychologist, writer, and language lover.
I created the French Creative Academy to offer a different way to learn French – one that’s human, creative, and truly kind.
Here, there’s no pressure, no judgment.
Just the joy of reconnecting with the French language through writing, gentle practice, and self-confidence.
Every programme and every workshop is designed to support you
at your rhythm, with your voice, and your own journey.
Français 365
Français 365 – A creative, gentle path to fluency
Français 365 is a 12-month programme to help you grow your French writing and speaking, day by day.
Every week, you receive:
- a short lesson,
- a small writing or speaking challenge,
- a grammar or vocabulary tip,
- and each month: two live online workshops to practise together.
No stress, no perfectionism – just real, soft, lasting progress.

My philosophy
I believe you can learn French without feeling embarrassed, overwhelmed, or blocked.
I believe language is like a landscape – full of paths to explore, words to taste, and sentences to create.
I believe writing is a powerful way to unlock your voice, rebuild trust, and enjoy the process.
Here, we write, reflect, imagine – not for perfection, but for truth, flow, and connection.
And every small step matters.
