About Benedicte


Bio

Born and raised in France, I obtained my French "baccalauréat" in La Source, France. I later obtained my BA of Arts (in French and Spanish) from SMU, Texas, and my Teaching Certification from Texas A&M Commerce. I have taught French at Dallas International School (IB track), and at Trinity Christian Academy (AP). While teaching, I tutored both my own students, and other students. When Covid-19 started, and my campus had to close, I conveyed content to my students remotely.

When Covid-19 started, and my campus had to close, I conveyed content to my students remotely.

I like to help in general. It is exciting to me when someone needs/has the desire to learn about the French language and culture, and I can fill that need. There is nothing more rewarding to me than witnessing those "Aha" moments from a student, and seeing him/her succeed, and become confident. I
In March, because of Covid-19, I also remotely finished tutoring a dyslexic client of 2 years, who had ADHD. I was so proud of her for obtaining a A+ on her trimester exam, when French was never an easy subject for her.
Current teaching certificate in the state of Texas.
13 years experience in teaching and tutoring.

Whether you are a child or an adult (or anything in between), whether you need help on a specific topic, on vocabulary, on structure, on pronunciation, on culture, with conversation, or preparing for a test, I would be happy to schedule some sessions with you and see you grow!

Excellent And Patient

We had a good initial meeting. I feel we are a good match. I was looking for a native French speaker who also had a teaching certificate. I would recommend her to anyone serious about improving their French language skills.

Benedicte is a wonderful teacher/tutor!

Bernedicte is an experienced teacher and this makes her an exceptional tutor. My son has struggled with learning French. He started working with Benedicte during this past summer to review the basics of French 1 & 2. He will continue to work with Benedicte this year, while he takes French 3. Benedicte has already made a positive impact with my son's attitude towards studying French. Benedicte provides structured tutoring sessions, building on the progress. She has a joy and warmth to her teaching/tutoring. I highly recommend Benedicte.

Enthusiastic and Professional

I was looking for a native speaker to work with as I began (again) my study of French, and I was happy to find someone like Benedicte who also knows how the grammar of the language works. She is always prompt, professional, and enthusiastic, and I learn quite a lot with each lesson. I have taught English grammar for many years and I recommend Benedicte highly.

Friendly and Knowledgable tutor

Benedicte is always cheerful and happy and ready to jump into each lesson. My daughter struggled with verb conjugation her Freshman year, but over the summer Benedicte has improved both her understanding of French AND she has helped my daughter build confidence she lacked before tutoring. For people with memory issues learning a foreign language can be challenging. Benedicte has shown my daughter, with patience and persistence, she CAN learn a foreign language. Highly recommend.

Great French tutor

Benedicte is a very patient and creative tutor. She easily formed a rapport with my adolescent son and gave him an excellent grammar lesson. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their French.

Really great French tutor who makes learning fun

I'm a sophomore in high school who wanted to get more practice and help outside of school in French. I've found it a challenging subject. I've been working with Madame Benedicte for 6 months and so far, and I've had a lot of fun. She has worked with me on a wide variety of subjects in grammar as well as French culture. Some examples are verb tenses, object pronouns, important french holidays and current events. And, just speaking french and practicing with her is hugely helpful. Doing it over zoom is also extremely convenient and this method is more affordable for our family too. I highly recommend! Working with Madame Benedicte has been extremely beneficial to my proficiency in class and has helped me a lot with speaking and making conversation in French. She is very flexible with the topics she teaches and is much more helpful than past tutors I've had. I have a lot of fun learning about French culture and discussing current news and she makes it easy to review past subjects I need help on. I would definitely recommend Madame Benedicte, especially if you need help with practicing topics you're learning in class or exploring beyond them.

Great AP French tutor

My kid was hesitant to have a tutor but after the first lesson she really like how Bénédicte was able to put her at ease and able to learn finer points needed for the AP level.

Azad, 19 lessons with Benedicte

Excellent Tutor

Benedicte has worked with my children all summer on French. She is helpful, patient and challenges them to do their very best. She also follows up with me after each lesson with a progress report. My kids love Benedicte and I highly recommend her!
