Bonjour!
I'm Lucie, a native French speaker from Paris with over 25 years of living and teaching across France, Quebec, and the USA.
I hold a Master's-level degree and formal teaching training, including a supervised classroom internship and two years as a substitute teacher in Quebec. I have also worked as a professional trainer for adults in academic and private companies.
My Background & Success-Driven Philosophy
As a dedicated French educator and a parent of successful IB (International Baccalaureate) graduates, I have a deep, personal understanding of what it takes to achieve academic excellence. Having guided my own children through the rigors of the IB French curriculum, I know the roadmap to success from the inside out. I don’t just teach the language; I teach the study habits and confidence needed to master complex grammar and literature.
How I Work with Different Ages:
For Young Learners (Ages 7-12): I focus on "learning by doing." We use interactive games, visual aids, and storytelling to build a natural ear for the language. My goal is to make French the highlight of their week!
For Middle & High School Students: I specialize in bridge-building. We tackle those tricky verb conjugations, expand academic vocabulary, and master essay writing. I bring the same patience and goal-oriented focus that helped my own family succeed in advanced programs.
For Adults & Professionals: Our sessions are goal-oriented. Whether you want to master "Travel French," improve your business communication, or simply dive into French literature, we focus on high-frequency conversation and real-world usage.

I believe that mistakes are just stepping stones to fluency. My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and highly organized. I offer a flexible schedule and am happy to do a quick introductory call to discuss your specific goals.
