Bonjour! I’m a native French speaker from Bordeaux, and I also spent 10 years living in Réunion Island, a beautiful French island in the Indian Ocean. My life has been quite international — I lived in Ireland and Malta, travelled around South-East Asia while working online, and I’ve been based in Thailand for the past three years. I learned English as an adult, so I truly understand what it feels like to search for words, feel nervous speaking, and slowly build confidence in another language. As a native French speaker, I’m here to help you feel that same confidence when speaking French. I can also use English during lessons if you need support.

Lia is energetic, knowledgeable, attentive and patient. She is also a good listener. Every lesson with her is always enjoyable and fun. There is never a boring moment. Learning how to speak in a new language can be very intimidating as I often struggle to find the right words or phrases or simply don't know what and how to say in French. But in every lesson with her, I don't feel like I am struggling that much as she makes me feel at ease at all time. She listens patiently and guides me in every step of the learning process. I am really lucky to have her as my teacher and I highly recommend her if you are looking for a teacher that can help and teach you how speak French naturally.

She was really warm and polite, and time flew by. The class flows very naturally and she adapts quickly to my needs and level. The lesson felt very relaxed and enjoyable, and I felt comfortable speaking the whole time.

Lia est une professeur très patiente. Je suis débutante, je ne comprends pas beaucoup de mots. Elle m’écoute attentivement et elle m’explique tout avec patience. Elle parle très bien anglais. Elle me donne des bons videos pour apprendre. Elle m’encourage à parler français. Elle a un sourire très mignon. Je recommande beaucoup Lia. Merci :)

I had my first French lesson with Lia Chapin and it was a great experience. She was very patient, encouraged me to speak, and asked thoughtful questions that helped me practice. She explained everything clearly and made the lesson comfortable and engaging. I’m looking forward to continuing my learning with her. Highly recommended!
