About Us
A shared vision for language, stories, and learning
Bonjour, nous sommes Ninon et Thomas.
We are French native educators, writers, and parents, united by a shared commitment to thoughtful, long-term language learning.
In 2023, we founded The Ways 2 Teach, a UK-based educational company dedicated to bilingualism and intentional language learning.
The Ways to French grew from that vision — a space where structure, meaning, and real-world language meet.
Our Background
Thomas
Thomas is a certified French teacher and native speaker with over fifteen years of teaching experience.
He holds university degrees in language, literature, and foreign civilisations, and became a certified language teacher in 2010. He has taught in international high schools and worked in anglophone countries before specialising in private coaching.
Over the years, he has supported thousands of students and professionals preparing for:
academic exams (B1–C1)
university entry
professional relocation
immigration requirements
school and exam support
Many of his students progress with him from one level to the next, building confidence and consistency over time. His approach combines structure, clarity, and calm guidance — with a strong focus on speaking.
Ninon
Ninon is a French author and language educator with a deep mastery of her native language.
She works primarily through writing, storytelling, and long-form educational resources. As a home educator raising multilingual children, she has developed a strong understanding of how languages are acquired naturally and sustainably.
Her work explores the role of narrative, meaning, and cultural depth in language learning.
Our Approach
We believe languages are not built through shortcuts or mechanical repetition.
They grow through:
meaningful exposure
structured guidance
real speaking practice
consistency over time
Thomas brings pedagogical rigour and classroom experience.
Ninon brings narrative insight and long-form clarity.
Together, we combine structure and imagination — precision and meaning.
What We Create
Our work is designed for students, professionals, and serious learners who want to build French with depth and confidence.
We offer:

small group classes
structured online courses and masterclasses
audio stories and carefully crafted learning resources
books aligned with our educational values
Everything we create prioritises clarity, seriousness, and respect for the learner’s time and intelligence.

long-term progress over quick fixes
For Learners with Real Goals
Whether you are preparing for an exam, relocating for work, or learning for personal growth, our aim is the same:
to help you build confidence, precision, and independence in French.
Language learning is not only about passing tests.
It is about expression, connection, and intellectual freedom.
That belief guides everything we do.
