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!

Wonderful Tutor!

I searched for quite some time for a French tutor in my area before meeting Elodie. I'm so glad that she was able to take me on as a student and every lesson has been a pleasure. She's was more than flexible when deciding on a session location (we ended up Skyping as I'm a bit far) and her lessons are extremely well organized. I have a little background in French, but she started me off with a quick comprehension test to determine my skill level before beginning. Since then, each lesson has built upon the previous smoothly and understandably. My vocabulary and comprehension are noticeably improving and I genuinely look forward to each lesson. She provides homework to ensure that you're practicing between lessons and also a grammar book, as well. Definitely don't hesitate to reach out if looking for a tutor! She's fantastic!

Vocabulary enhancement.

We discussed how to increase my vocabulary. Elodie suggested that topics of mutual interest, about which we are both knowledgeable, might make learning new vocabulary easier for me. We probably will try this. However, if the topic interests me, I tend to speak English rather than French. We'll see if this works.

We are fortunate to have found Elodie!

Elodie spoke French during the entire lesson which was much appreciated. She made me feel very comfortable despite my halting answers to her questions. I was looking for a tutor who would correct my mistakes without making me feel discouraged. I think this will be a great fit. Merci, Elodie. Looking forward to our work together.

Elodie is just right!

Elodie is just the kind of tutor we were looking for - she knew how to evaluate our "niveau" and had lesson plans and strategies appropriate to share with us. Tops!

Joe, 1 lesson with Elodie

Very thorough

Elodie did a great job covering the immediate material/homework, but she also went above and beyond with extra material. She was very helpful and provided great feedback.

Great teacher for my 6th grade son

My son expressed an interest in learning French and had a wonderful time with Elodie at his first lesson. He is looking forward to learning the language with her as his regular teacher.

Patient and Extremely Helpful.

I'm taking French for my degree and the class was going very fast. She is helping me understand the basics while keeping up with my class' fast pace. I really appreciate her knowledge and teaching skills.

Excellent French Tutor

Elodie was incredibly well prepared for our lesson. She gave me a quick aptitude test during our first lesson and then got me started immediately with work in her own well designed work book. When we finished she assigned me homework for our next lesson. The session was structured very well and moved at the right pace for me. Thank you!

Great tutor!

Elodie is a very experienced and professional tutor. Additionally, she is patient and kind. Elodie arrived for my first lesson without knowing my level of knowledge of the French language and was able to quickly adapt the lesson to my needs. Her French accent is clear and easy to understand. She has developed her own system and modules that are very organized and easy to follow. Furthermore, she is willing to travel to your location and is also available to teach via Skype. I highly recommend Elodie as a tutor for both adults and children.

Extremely helpful!

With just one lesson from Elodie she'll make you feel a little more confident about speaking and understanding French. Not only will she create activities to help you grasp a concept you want to learn, but will also explain it very well. I highly recommend hiring her as a tutor!
