"Bonjour! My name is Laurence, and I’m a native French speaker originally from Paris. I’ve been living in Los Angeles for the past 10 years, where I’ve built both my career and my community. French has always been more than just a language to me, it’s a way of connecting people, cultures, and ideas. In my professional life, I’ve spent years mentoring colleagues, leading cross-cultural teams, and translating complex ideas into clear, simple communication. Those same skills now shape how I teach French: patient, approachable, and tailored to each student’s goals.

I believe learning a language should feel both structured and alive. My lessons focus on building a solid foundation in grammar and vocabulary while also weaving in real-life practice through conversation, culture, and everyday scenarios. I’ve helped professionals prepare for relocation to France, guided learners who wanted to feel comfortable traveling abroad, and supported students who simply wanted to enjoy speaking French for personal growth.

What I love most about teaching is watching my students gain confidence, not only in their French but also in themselves. If you’re looking for a tutor who will meet you where you are, encourage you along the way, and make the process enjoyable, I’d be delighted to work with you." less...
