All levels, All ages
I’m a native French speaker, born and raised in Paris. Although my academic background includes a PhD in Physical Chemistry, I discovered early on that my true passion lies in teaching languages—especially French.
For more than 22 years, I’ve had the joy of teaching French at middle school, high school, and college levels. Along the way, I’ve worked with many students who found learning French challenging. This inspired me to create a method that makes learning French fun, approachable, and stress-free. Today, I offer personalized French tutorials for learners of all ages and levels—from beginners to advanced students, from conversational practice to test preparation.
Currently, I serve as an Adjunct Professor of French at San Jacinto College in Pasadena, TX.
Whether you prefer one-on-one lessons or small group sessions, I tailor each class to meet your individual goals. My lessons focus on building reading and writing skills, with a strong emphasis on developing your confidence in speaking.
My mission is to help you achieve your French language goals through a fun, safe, and supportive learning environment. I am dedicated to designing a comprehensive program tailored to your individual needs, so you can build confidence and succeed at every step of your journey.

We are on our 3rd year of French tutoring with Dr. Sharpe, and she is excellent. My daughter has had nothing but straight A's with help from Dr. Sharpe. If you want to excel at French for school, or want to learn it as a second language, I highly recommend Dr. Sharpe: Ken
Pascale has done a wonderful job tutoring both of my sons in French. She always finds great activities to keep them engaged, and they’ve learned a lot in the process: Sheryl
Pascale is an exceptional French teacher and I strongly recommend her to anyone seeking to improve their French though one-on-one instruction or anyone interested in starting to take French lessons. She is able toassess your level and tailor her teaching to ensure it maximizes your progress. She is, of course, a native Parisian with over 20 years’ experience in teaching French abroad. She is also a very kind, attentive, reliable person and it is delight to spend time speaking French with her: Tim
My daughter has been taking classes with Ms. Sharpe for the last two years. I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable Ms. Sharpe was working with my daughter considering she was only 8 years old when she started and had no prior exposure to the French language. In the last two years, my daughter's grasp of the French language has tremendously improved and today she is very confident communicating in the language. In addition to the in-person classes, Ms. Sharpe has been excellent teaching online classes to my daughter as well and very engaging in those sessions. On a personal level, I have found Ms. Pascale to be very patient, funny, personable and deeply knowledgeable. I highly recommend her services in-person or online if you or your child are serious about learning the French language: Sameer
