Learning French in Paris is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! FTC Paris, the new French language center, offers the most efficient courses and proposes the best environment in which to use your French freely and live your best life in Paris.
Our French language school experience
We first met as colleagues at a French-language center in Paris. Our after-hours conversations about didactics, classroom practice, and what learners really need kept growing—and so did a shared conviction. Both of us speak several languages (including English and Chinese) and have worked abroad, so we know what it means to learn and teach across cultures.
We founded FTC Paris because too many schools put systems before people. After years of teaching French, learning languages ourselves, and leading trainer teams, we built the school we wished existed: trainer-led, human-scale, and designed around your goals.

CEOSingular background, but I’m proud of it!
Parisian and French since I was born, I have a master’s degree in didactics of French as a foreign language, a master’s degree in history and a bachelor’s degree in Chinese language. Yes, I like to study! On top of that, I co-founded and worked as COO for the startup Copees platform which brings print shops and customers together. A useful double hat for FTC Paris.

COOOriginally, sport was my vocation, but it was my extensive travels that shaped my life choices. By discovering other cultures and reconnecting with my foreign origins, I was inspired to pass on my passion for France, its language and its culture. After 10 years of experience in teaching French, I finally realized my dream: to set up FTC Paris. Everything makes sense now, and I want the same for you!
What FTC Paris stands for?
