"Bonjour!

I am a native French speaker from Lyon, France, with over 25 years of experience teaching French to learners of all ages and levels. I hold a certification in Teaching French as a Foreign Language and spent 8 years in Washington, D.C. at a renowned language school, where I worked as both a French Instructor and Director of French Studies.

Over the years, I have also created my own teaching materials for all levels — from beginner to advanced. These resources allow me to offer highly structured lessons while keeping them engaging, practical, and tailored to each student’s needs.

My approach is interactive, conversational, and student-centered. I believe the best way to learn a language is by using it, so I encourage my students to actively participate, speak with confidence, and practice in real-life contexts. Whether you’re preparing for travel, advancing in your career, studying for school exams, or simply pursuing a love for French culture, I tailor lessons to your personal goals.

I also provide academic support for middle school, high school, and college students who may need help with French grammar, vocabulary, or exam preparation. All of my lessons include curated materials, cultural insights, and plenty of opportunities to practice conversation and pronunciation.

My goal is to help you not only learn French, but also enjoy the process and feel confident communicating in the language.

Let’s get started — I look forward to helping you on your French journey!
