Testimonials

  • Coaching with Lucile is an overwhelming positive experience. I have immediately felt comfortable while opening my mind and exploring my feelings with her. However she can really help you to make the change that you want or, better, that you need.

    Giulia, Italy

  • Lucile is an excellent French teacher!! Her classes are very entertaining, we do all kinds of exercises to practice, and she's also very patient with me. I highly recommend her classes if you want to learn French!

    Sofia, Vannes, France

  • I had the pleasure of taking French classes with Lucile for a year, and I can confidently say that she is an excellent teacher. Her dynamic and fun teaching style made every class enjoyable, and I always looked forward to our lessons. Lucile has a talent for explaining complex grammar concepts in a way that is easy to understand, and she always made sure to tailor the lessons to my specific needs and interests. Thanks to Lucile's guidance and support, I was able to make significant progress in my French language skills. Her patience and encouragement helped me to feel confident in my abilities, and I always felt comfortable asking questions and making mistakes in her class. Overall, I would highly recommend Lucile as a French teacher. Her passion for teaching and her dedication to her students make her an exceptional educator, and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to learn from her.

    Nicolas, Paris, France

  • I am based in Washington DC but most of my clients are in countries that speak only French. I needed to rapidly improve my French, speak accurately, using the correct grammar, and have technical discussions. Lucile, who is a native French speaker, was very patient and kind. We had twice weekly lessons (you can design your own schedule) that covered oral practice, grammar, reading of technical articles in my field and so much more. She was also able to tailor the lessons to particular topics I wanted to focus on. She is an excellent teacher, and subsequently I saw rapid improvements very quickly. I would highly recommend her.

    Nyaneba, Washington DC, USA

  • Lucile was my online French instructor in 2019-2020, for 2-3 times a week. Lucile was definitely one of the best language teachers I ever had, helping me brush up my French after years of not using it. Lucile designed every session carefully to cater to my level and my specific requests, while at the same time ensuring that we followed our medium-term learning plan and covered all the language aspects (grammar, vocabulary, conversation, writing). I found her to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, resourceful, dedicated and organized, on top of being a very nice person! I was actually very upset when I had to stop my program with her due to COVID. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who is seeking to take their French to the next level!

    Almudena, Bogota, Colombia

  • I was fortunate enough to have a course of lessons with Lucile in 2020. She was an excellent French teacher and I really enjoyed my lessons. Lucile was attentive to my needs and wishes and helped me concentrate on all areas of the French language where I felt I needed assistance. More importantly, the confidence she gave me in my ability to speak and write French as a result of these lessons gave me the confidence to leave a job in which I was unhappy and to apply for (and get) my dream job here in France. I thoroughly recommend French lessons with Lucile.

    Nicky, Malestroit, France

  • Very patient tutor and has always been very flexible and understanding with my schedule. Highly recommend!

    Mako, Vannes, France

  • It's not always easy to start life from scratch (or almost) and learn a foreign language. But the path can be made easier with a trainer like Lucile. She uses a wide range of methods and materials adapted to your needs. The topics suggested for our sessions were very diverse: everyday life, passions, travel, little anecdotes, music, games. Thanks to our exchanges, I've greatly improved my oral expression and gained self-confidence. What's more, if I missed a word in French, it was English that saved me
