​

I am using the Communicative language teaching method.  My students learn and practice French through the interaction with one another and 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 use role plays and simulations of real world situations.  I let my students select role plays that interest them and that will give them an opportunity to practice what they have learned.  My students learn basic skills such as describing, inquiring, informing, explaining, inviting, suggesting, complaining and notions such as the expression of time, quantity and location.

​

I have already taught over 300 students in America, and logged more than 2000 hours.

​

I am going to work with you to create a program tailored to your individual goals and needs.

I can help you with all aspects of French including grammar, conversation, vocabulary and overall fluency.

​

I am the right person to teach you because I am a dedicated and effective French language teacher. 

My work and life experiences have taught me not only to be effective teacher,

but also to be compassionate and caring individual who can see potentials in everyone of my students.

​

​

I love French culture, arts and literature. I enjoy reading novels especially by Zola, Balzac and Maupassant.

I am passionate about sharing the very best of my culture with other people.

I really look forward to my lessons with Lydie. They're fun and Lydie works to tailor the lessons for my needs. When we started, I only knew a little vocabulary but could not speak French. I struggled with pronunciation but with her patient guidance, I've improved every week.

Incredible Teacher!

Lydie is a wonderful teacher! She has already taught me so much and I can’t wait to learn more with her. She tailored the lesson to what I was wanting to learn and was very patient and encouraging! I would recommend to everyone to have Lydie as their French language teacher!

Good teacher

I really appreciate Lydie’s patience in teaching, admittedly I am a slow learner but being able to go back and asking her to repeat things back for me I am starting to learn to speak French!
