About Me
Bonjour!
Je mβappelle Dr. 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.
