France with Mickael is a trading name of Mickael Romaniello EI, a French sole trader based in Cannes, France. SIRET 920 966 827 00015, VAT number FR23920966827. Write to contact@francewithmickael.com — it reaches Mickael, not a support desk.
Anyone can be taught; the person who pays is the person with the contract. If the student is under 18, a parent or guardian books and pays, and it is their agreement — the lessons are for the young person, the contract is with the adult. That is deliberate rather than bureaucratic: a minor cannot be held to a contract in France, so pretending otherwise would protect nobody.
A package belongs to the student it was bought for, and the booking link in the confirmation email is personal to them. You can buy one for someone else — a parent routinely does — just tell me who it is for when you book, so the lessons and the video link reach the right inbox. What you cannot do is resell it. If circumstances change and someone else should have the remaining lessons, write and ask; it is usually fine, and it takes one message.
Private French lessons, one to one, taught online by video call. Levels A1 to B2. Lessons are 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Teaching is in French and in English.
All prices include VAT and are final. Nothing is added at checkout and there is no platform commission.
A first lesson is thirty minutes for €20 — short and cheap on purpose, because deciding whether a teacher suits you should not be an expensive decision. It is credited against a first package if you carry on. Everything below is the standing rate.
| 30 min | 45 min | 60 min | |
|---|---|---|---|
| First lesson | €20 | — | — |
| Single lesson | €30 | €45 | €60 |
| Five lessons | €135 | €202 | €270 |
| Ten lessons | €255 | €382 | €510 |
Payment is by card, taken at the time of booking, on a page hosted by Stripe. Card details never pass through this site. A lesson is confirmed only once Stripe confirms the payment; until then the slot is held for you but not booked.
A lesson you have not taken can be refunded, right up until 24 hours before it starts. That is the only moment a refund stops being possible. There is no expiry, no window to miss, and no reason to give. A package bought six months ago with four lessons left on it is four lessons' worth of refund.
Inside the last 24 hours, that one lesson is due — the time was held and the preparation done — so it is yours to take rather than to refund. Only that lesson. Every other lesson you are holding stays refundable exactly as before.
What comes back: the lessons you have not taken, at what you paid for them. On a package, the lessons you did take are counted at the ordinary single-lesson price for that length and the rest is refunded — so the package discount follows the lessons you actually took, not the ones you did not. Ask by email; it goes back to the card you paid with, normally within a few days.
Different thing, same clock. Move a booked time up to 24 hours before it starts, as often as you need, at no cost — you are not asking for money back, only for a different day.
The one limit: the new time should fall within 8 weeks of the one you are moving. That is generous on purpose and almost nobody meets it — but a lesson that keeps sliding is not really being moved, and an hour I am still holding for you two years from now helps neither of us.
If you need longer than that, cancel it instead. You lose nothing by doing so: on a package the lesson goes straight back on your balance, which never expires, and you book it whenever you are ready. Cancelling frees the hour for somebody else in the meantime, which is the only difference between the two.
Inside 24 hours the exception you would expect applies: illness, or something genuinely outside your control. Then the lesson is moved and not charged. This is not a form to fill in — write and say so.
If a lesson has to be cancelled from this side, it is moved to a time that suits you or refunded in full, whichever you prefer.
Buying online also gives you a statutory right to withdraw within fourteen days. The rule above is the more generous of the two nearly everywhere, because it has no fourteen-day limit at all — it keeps working in month six.
The one place they can point different ways is a lesson bought less than 24 hours before it starts. There the statutory right stands and you are refunded. A policy can be kinder than the law; it is never allowed to be harsher.
There is one teacher here, so there is nobody to send instead. If I am ill, or something goes wrong at my end, the lesson is moved at no cost and you choose the new time — and if you would rather have the money back instead, you can, whatever the notice. A lesson I cancelled is never a lesson you paid for.
Buying a package books its first lesson at the same time. That date is the package's start; the remaining lessons are arranged between us as you go, at a pace that suits you. There is no expiry date and nothing renews. That is worth stating plainly, because it is not how this is usually sold: packages elsewhere commonly run out after a set number of weeks, and whatever you have not used by then is gone. Here a lesson you have paid for stays yours until you take it, and — per the rule above — stays refundable for as long as you hold it. A busy month costs you nothing.
A connection and a device with a camera and microphone. The video link arrives by email and opens in a browser — nothing to install. No textbook is required.
Each student also gets a shared Google Doc holding what is covered, the corrections and any homework. It is yours: it stays readable after the lessons stop, and a Google account is the only thing needed to open it.
Lessons are taught with care, but no particular examination result or level by a particular date is promised — language learning does not work that way, and anyone who guarantees it is guessing. If a lesson cannot go ahead for a technical reason on this side, it is moved or refunded.
Write to contact@francewithmickael.com first — most things are settled that way, and quickly.
French law applies. Nothing here removes the protections French consumer law gives you.
