I work in Special Education at an Elementary School, and I have been teaching on the Wyzant platform for 6 years as well. I have passed the praxis exam for French (word language 5174) with a score of 200.

Bonjour everyone!

My name is Diane. I am a French native speaker from Paris. I lived in Chicago for a couple of years before moving in Alabama with my husband and my 3 bilingual kids 8 years ago.

I work in Special Education at an Elementary School, and I have been teaching on the Wyzant platform for 6 years as well. I have passed the praxis exam for French (word language 5174) with a score of 200.

Throughout my college studies and my experiences studying and working abroad, I perfected my language skills (French, English, German and Russian). I have a master degree in Foreign Languages as well as 10 years working experience in Diplomacy, so I am used to navigating between languages all the time.

Learning from a native speaker is definitely a plus so you can acquire the correct accent and learn more about the French culture and habits and customs. I love languages and I would love to share my passion for the French language.

I enjoy teaching all age range: kids, teenagers and adults. I will deliver lessons according to your level, needs, objectives and interests and I will prepare a personalized learning plan according to what you want to focus on: Grammar, oral and written comprehension, conversation, reading, vocabulary... I believe that each student is unique and I always make sure to personalize each lesson.

I can meet regularly, once in a while or one time depending on your needs. week days, evenings, week ends...

I do as well AP prep, test/exam preparation, homework help, translations and proofreading from English to French.

I do tutoring in-person (in Alabama) and online though the Wyzant platform.

I give lessons for students on Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific time.

I offer 20, 30, 45 or 60 min session according to your needs.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Feel free to contact me if interested or if you have any questions.

Dedicated and delightful!

Diane is a wonderful tutor with a gorgeous Parisian accent that almost makes you feel like you’re in France for a while! She’s very friendly, engaging, and patient. Highly, highly recommend.

Happy I connected with Diane!

I looked forward to every session with Diane. She tailored my sessions to help me prepare for a trip to Paris. We didn't waste time on irrelevant content. Diane is from Paris, so she gave me lots of insight into French culture, plus tips on what to do in Paris. I've studied French and other languages before, and Diane is the best of all!

Native speaker and great teacher!

Diane is a great teacher. She has great resources to practice and review French along with the experience and knowledge to answer any question. I love her comic strips where we practice describing scenes, and she knows exactly where I need to improve. Merci beaucoup, Diane!

Knowledgeable, patient, and flexible

Diane was a fantastic tutor. She is very knowledgeable about the requirements for the AP French Language and Culture exam, and was able to tailor her lessons and content exactly to my needs. She was timely, effective, provided cohesive, helpful feedback, and really made a difference in my conversational French skills. Beyond that, she was able to advise me on exactly how to structure writing, formal communications, emails, and other daily correspondence in French in a way that satisfied exam criteria. She provided me with helpful documents, extra practice prompts, and was always willing to go the extra mile to give material. I really appreciated all of her help with my AP French course.

Excellent, Knowledgeable, Parisian Native

I highly recommend Diane. I worked with Diane two times per month for several months. My main goal was to practice “hearing” and being able to understand spoken french and respond appropriately. In addition, we practiced grammar, built vocabulary, which she tailored to my level, while encouraging me to push myself. During instruction and homework review, she provided additional information on grammar, pronunciation, and when appropriate, french culture. I appreciated her warmth and engaging manner. She was always prompt, prepared, gave appropriate feedback and homework. I feel I made significant progress in the short time I have been with Diane. I will continue my sessions with Diane after the holidays.

Superb tutor!

I engaged Diane to spruce up on my very, VERY rusty French prior to travelling. Every session was a 5-star session. She planned every session with meticulous care and and with relevant and engaging content. My French has significantly improved and I am ready for Paris!

Mike, 8 lessons with Diane

Knowledgeable, patient, fun, the best teacher I ever had

Diane has been my teacher for over a year and I learned so much with her. Thanks to her teaching I can apply directly to Honor French and take the AP French test. I am more than ready and it only took a few lessons to do that. Thank you very much Diane. I had another teacher before and was ready to stop learning French. Everything changed with Diane. Thank you very much!
