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.

One of, if not the, best teachers I've ever found/had

I've been taking lessons with Lydie for over a year. I started when I took an intro French course and continued when the semester was over. She was the only French tutor that I met with and she has been the best teacher. J'ai gagné au loto ! Lydie is very organized and has a plan for my learning, but she also listens and adjusts accordingly if there's something I want to learn about or if I ask to go over something again. I can tell that she genuinely cares about my learning and understanding of French as well as my health, asking if I ever need to take a week off. She also has a plethora of different activities and ways to practice grammar and speaking, so our lessons never get stagnant or boring. If you want to learn French or need help with French in some capacity, I whole-heartedly recommend reaching out to Lydie. I plan on staying her student for as long as she'll have me! <3

Amazing

Lydie is teaching me French lessons. She is very patient with me and I’d like her method. I very much enjoy my lessons with her. I think she is a gifted teacher. In addition to being a talented teacher, I think she overall has a very good personality, and I feel very comfortable with her, which makes me wanna continue with my lessons

Thank you so much Clay

Patient and Confidence building tutor

Lydie is very supportive and patient but knows when to challenge you. She has me speaking consistently in our sessions which has instilled a lot of confidence in myself and improved my speaking abilities in my day to day interactions with other french speaking people. A fantastic teacher!

Tutor responded:

It's a real pleasure for me to work with you Sjournee.

Knowledgeable, charming, and interesting.

Lydie has helped me to engage in conversations in French about serious and interesting topics. She has helped me to not only speak and understand French, but speak good French, incorporating the subjunctive and speaking idiomatically. She is an excellent teacher!

Tutor responded:

Thank you so much Adam.

Exceptional!

Lydie is absolutely spectacular. We dove headfirst into polishing my french from my childhood studies as I prepare to relocate to Paris for work. What I love about Lydie is that she sets the stage of our lessons with real world meaningful conversations (controversial topics, debates, personal feelings/experience) and pushes me to express my true self in french beyond the superficial basic language. I have been working with Lydie for a few weeks and I can not stop raving about her to my friends and family. While it is challenging work, I look forward to my time with Lydie every week because she brings such a rare personal touch to every lesson. Thank you Lydie

Thank you so much Robert.

Wonderful tutor!

Lydie has been working with my daughter for over a year. She introduced her to French language and culture and inspired my daughter to dedicate much time to her studies. As a result my daughter took French in her school this year in addition to her weekly lessons with Lydie. We are very happy we found her!

Elizaveta, 75 lessons with Lydie
Tutor responded:

Thank you Elizaveta, I really like to work with your daughter.

Patient and kind

Lydie has been teaching me a lot of vocabulary through our practices as well as the past tense. Because of our lessons, she tests my listening and speaking by asking me to push more with my sentences when writing them. I do feel challenged in our sessions in a very good way that is helping me to grow.

Thank you for your kindness Haley.

getting comfortable

I’m starting to answer and respond quicker in French and form longer sentences which is an exciting thing! Also got a lot of helpful tips on changing the way I think about French so I can learn properly.

Great tutor for Americans!

Lydie eased my nerves about learning a new language and I’m excited to continue with her as I feel I’m learning so much!
