Who’s Behind the Magic

At Pamplemousse French, we take French seriously — but never ourselves. We’re a small but zesty team of language fanatics, grammar whisperers, and exam tamers. We’ve cried over subjunctives, danced with irregular verbs, and made peace with passé composé (after years of mediation). Our mission? Help you crush your French exams with a smile on your face and maybe... a grapefruit in your hand.


Our Team: What You Can Count On

While we know the characters are a little... zesty and not quite real, behind the scenes, our team has years of experience teaching French to Canadian public servants. We provide good exam preparation with simulations, practical tips and feedback that help you feel more confident and prepared. We’re really good at what we do. After working with us, you'll be ready to face your exam with a smile, knowing French isn’t as tough as it seems — especially when you have the right support. We've got you.

Our Assistants

Madame Zeste

🟠 Chief of Conjugation Confusion Control

Madame Zeste once diagrammed 142 French verbs in her sleep. She claims her greatest accomplishment is convincing a room full of adults that the subjunctive is sexy. Catch her sipping herbal tea and whispering sweet nothings to flashcards.

Monsieur Croissant

🥐 Director of Baguette-Based Motivation

Monsieur Croissant doesn’t actually teach French, but he’s a master of pep talks and buttery metaphors. He believes every grammar mistake is just “a flaky layer on your journey to fluency.” May or may not be made of pastry.

Mlle Exception

🧀 Exam Simulation Guru & Cheese Strategist

Mlle Exception has seen things… oral exams gone rogue, written tests that melted minds. She’ll get you ready for anything — and reward your progress with a virtual wedge of brie. Known for saying, “If you can conjugate vouloir in the conditional, you deserve a snack.”
