Maï Harfouche | EXECUTIVE LANGUAGE COACH · TEF/TCF & FEDERAL SLE

Speak French with the authority and personality you have in English.

1:1 French coaching for professionals, immigration candidates and public servants who need French for a specific goal — from TEF/TCF Canada and Federal SLE to professional communication and career advancement.

I built this once. Now I'm doing it in reverse.

FRANCE ➜ NORTH AMERICAN ENGLISHFor 10+ years in Europe, I built a coaching business in France dedicated to helping French-speaking professionals master North American English for their careers.Not traditional English classes. Language coaching built around confidence, communication and professional identity.

CANADA ➜ FRENCHToday, as a native French speaker in Canada, I bring that same approach to professionals who need to operate confidently in French. Same philosophy. Different direction.

Language is only part of the work.

01THE HUMANPsychosociology + coaching.
I don't just correct sentences. I look at what happens when confidence, pressure, and language collide.

02THE REAL
WORLD10+ years with demanding professionals. Promotions. Immigration. High-stakes interviews. Structural meetings.
Something is always at stake.

03THE CULTUREI help with the expressions, references, and professional tones people actually use in Canadian workplaces, not textbook French.

Let’s be completely honest: the promise of achieving "flawless fluency" in a few months is simply a marketing myth.True communication isn’t about textbook rules; it is deeply rooted in psychology and human behavior.When you speak a second language under professional pressure, the real challenge usually isn't a lack of vocabulary. It is the frustrating disconnect between how sharp you are in your mind, and how hesitant you sound when you begin to overthink. You don't need schoolroom drills to thrive in a bilingual space. You need cultural fluency and psychological resilience.

I combine language coaching with a deep understanding of people.

THE LANGUAGE
French that sounds natural and appropriate to the situation.
THE PSYCHOLOGY
Navigating what happens to your speech when high pressure and anxiety collide.
THE MOMENT
French for situations where something is at stake. Interviews. Meetings. Presentations. Promotions. Relocation. Leadership.

WHO THIS COACHING IS FOR

You already know what you're capable of.
French shouldn't be the thing that gets in the way.
