I am an enthusiastic and devoted French teacher with excellent communication skills demonstrated by 20 years of teaching experience.

I can help you improve your skills in grammar, vocabulary and conversation. I can work with you to create your personal program taking into account your needs and your goals.

I am using the Communicative language teaching method. My students learn and practice French through the interaction with me. My goal is to enable my students to communicate effectively and appropriately in the various situations they would likely find themselves in.

I also teach to small groups of children. Small children learn best when they are in a small class of 2 to 4 children. They can practice what they have learned by interacting with one another. They can also motivate each others to work harder. The emphasis is to give them confidence and to enable them to master the basic conversational skills such as describing, explaining, questioning, etc.…

I was born and raised in Normandie, a north western region of France. I graduated from Universite de Caen Normandie in Adult Vocational Training. I spent 14 years teaching French to foreign students and six years as an educator at the French school for children with disabilities and violent disorders. I am currently teaching at a French immersion school in Austin, Texas.

I love my French culture, arts and literature. I am passionate about sharing the very best of my culture with you. That is why I am such a passionate French language teacher. My work and life experiences have thought me not only to be an effective teacher, but also to be compassionate and caring individual who can see potentials in every one of my students.

Excellent tutor

Ms. Lydie is a wonderful teacher. She is knowledgeable, kind and patient. Since she is so passionate about teaching, my daughter learns quickly from her. My high school daughter goes from not knowing French at all to being able to form a complex sentence. Ms. lydie’s unique teaching style makes a huge difference in learning language. Ms. Lydie can turn a very novice student to a very good student within a short period of time. I strongly recommend Ms. Lydie with all my heart. This review is coming from a mother who wants the best for her kid and also from a professional woman who values an excellent educator.

Excellent French Tutor with proven results!

My daughter, who is in tenth grade, has been taking weekly French lessons with Lydie since February. While she generally excels in her studies, her school’s French class lacked a solid curriculum and offered limited opportunities for speaking practice. By the time she reached the middle of French 2, her understanding was minimal, and she struggled to communicate in French. Recognizing her potential, we knew we needed to help her catch up. Over the past three months, with Lydie’s guidance, she has been mastering the language, gaining confidence, and developing a much deeper understanding with each lesson. Lydie is a patient, professional, and effective teacher who tailors her approach to meet each student’s needs, ensuring rapid progress. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results!

Wonderful French Tutor

Learning French with Lydie has been such a great experience. She’s incredibly patient and kind, but also knows how to challenge you just enough to help you grow. I always feel supported, even when I make mistakes, and her flexibility with scheduling and teaching style makes learning stress-free. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve made real progress and feel more confident. I highly recommend Lydie to anyone serious about improving their French.

Excellent tutor!

I highly recommend Lydie as a French tutor. We have worked together for a month now. Lydie is excellent. She adapted immediately to my current French skill level. Each lesson she is prepared, patient and very engaging. She has helped me to gain confidence and improve my conversation and grammars skills.

Native french speaker and tutor

I've been meeting with Lydie weekly via Zoom, starting as a complete beginner in French. Although I still struggle with speaking and often feel like I'm at the early stages, Lydie's patience and kindness make the learning process enjoyable and encouraging. She uses a conversational approach, perfect for someone like me who is learning French as a travel tool rather than for professional reasons. I genuinely love working with her and always look forward to our lessons.
