About Lia
Bonjour! I’m Lia, your dedicated French language teacher and the founder of Learn French with Lia. With over five years of experience teaching French online, I specialize in making French learning fun, personalized, and effective for students of all ages and levels.
Originally from France, I now reside in Mexico, where I embrace the vibrant culture and enjoy sharing my love for the French language with students worldwide. My teaching journey began with a passion for helping others discover the beauty and utility of French, whether for travel, work, or personal enrichment.
My approach to teaching is student-centered and flexible, tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each learner. I use a variety of French materials from French schools, ensuring that my students receive authentic and practical language education. From children to adults, beginners to advanced learners, I am committed to providing lessons that are engaging and catered to individual learning styles.
In addition to teaching, I am also a scuba diving instructor and a cave diver explorer. This adventurous spirit translates into my teaching style, where I encourage curiosity, exploration, and a sense of adventure in learning French.
I hold a strong track record of helping students succeed, with a 100% pass rate for various French exams, including DELF, Swiss French exams, and the Sciences Po entrance tests. I am also preparing to take the DAEFLE exam in 2025 to further enhance my teaching credentials.
When I’m not teaching or exploring underwater caves, I enjoy writing. My book, French for Beginners: The Verbs 'Être et Avoir', is available on Amazon Kindle, providing a helpful resource for new learners.
Thank you for considering Learn French with Lia for your French learning journey. I look forward to helping you achieve your language goals with enthusiasm and personalized support.
Merci et à bientôt!
