Do you struggle to find the motivation to speak English? Do classroom settings feel artificial or disconnected from real life?
If so, this unique program might be just what you need: a hybrid English course eligible for CPF in Vincennes that combines online education with guided walking tours in Paris—entirely in English.
Why choose this course?
Many adults in France want to improve their English, but they don’t know where to start. Group classes are often too general. Online courses feel disconnected. Self-study lacks structure. That’s where this course comes in.
This program is different because it’s built on real-life interaction. You’re not just learning grammar—you’re learning to use English in the real world. Each visit is a concrete experience: you speak, you describe, you listen, you respond. That’s exactly how we build oral fluency and confidence.
Plus, this is not a tourist tour. You’ll explore meaningful places in Paris, with preparation beforehand and reflection afterward. You’re not just visiting—you’re leading part of the visit. You’ll practice, present, and get feedback—all in English, all in a supportive space.
The format is also flexible and CPF-eligible. You get the best of both worlds: individual guidance with an experienced English teacher in Vincennes, and the dynamic experience of in-person visits that bring English to life.

How does it work?
Each of the six units includes:
Two private tutoring sessions in English online
One in-person guided walk in Paris, where you co-lead part of the visit
Extra E-learning activities to reinforce vocabulary and structures
Together, we’ll explore places like the Jardin du Luxembourg, Île de la Cité, Les Halles, and the Pont des Arts. Each outing is more than a lesson—it’s a real-world conversation in motion.
The advantages of learning this way
It’s real – Speaking English while standing in front of the Place des Vosges is not the same as reading about it in a textbook. You’ll live the language.
It’s memorable – Studies show that when you attach a word or phrase to a physical experience, it sticks longer in your brain. You’ll remember more, without even trying.
It’s oral – Most adults need help with oral fluency. This method is built around speaking, reacting, improvising, and getting instant feedback. You’ll feel your confidence grow with each step.
It’s personalized – No generic topics or random vocabulary lists. Everything is adapted to your level, your goals, and your interests.
It’s effective – Students who follow immersive, task-based programs improve faster. And because the TOEIC certification is included, you have a clear goal to work toward.
Who is it for?
Motivated adults who want:
A concrete, cultural way to improve their English
A CPF-funded English course in Vincennes that goes beyond the screen
A method that’s immersive, effective, and fun
Whether you’re stuck at A2 or ready to push your B1 to the next level, this is your chance to learn by doing.
