Languages for Business
FARIDA DEKHAR
I'm a native French speaker, a professional qualified French teacher, and an accredited coach who teaches using real coaching models, a genuinely different approach. DELF/DALF, business French, GCSE/A-Level and conversation, plus TEF/TCF preparation for Canadian PR, delivered online by a 25-year specialist.
Two areas of focus, both taught using real coaching methodology by a native French speaker, professional qualified teacher and accredited coach, not a fixed curriculum.
Structured coaching across every major French qualification and goal, from school exams to business fluency.
Focused preparation for candidates who need a TEF or TCF score for Express Entry or another Canadian PR route.
Bespoke French learning programmes and assessment frameworks built for schools, corporate clients and individual learning paths.
One-to-one coaching for professionals and entrepreneurs, drawing on 25+ years of teaching and hands-on business experience.
No two of my lessons look the same, even when two learners are preparing for the very same exam. I bring 25 years of teaching together with real coaching methodology to build something adaptable around each person, not the other way around.Farida Dekhar, on why a conventional classroom approach doesn't fit the way people learn today
I'm a native French speaker, a professional qualified French teacher, and an accredited coach, with 25+ years' experience across preschool, primary, further education and corporate training. I've taught learners from age 3 through to senior professionals, including corporate clients at organisations such as Linklaters, Freshfields, the European Banking Authority and the European Investment Fund, and coached candidates through DELF, DALF, TEF and TCF exams.
What makes my approach different is that I don't just teach, I coach, using real coaching models in every lesson. My own entrepreneurial background running a business has shaped a style that's practical, results-focused and grounded in real-world experience.
From first-time learners to professionals with a specific score to hit, my programmes flex to fit the person in front of me.
Real feedback from the professionals, students and organisations I've worked with.
Farida is a brilliant language teacher. I have been learning French with her for 4 years now and my progress is more than I'd ever thought I could achieve.
I used the services of Languages for Business to train young lawyers in French legal vocabulary. The result is perfect — professional and attentive throughout.
Farida is an excellent teacher with a deep knowledge of French and a way of making learning fun. You don't realise you're improving until you look back.
