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.

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!

This was my first ever lesson on italki and I am so lucky to have chanced upon Lia. Lia is very patient and will let you finish your sentence before she corrects and responds to your answer. When I wasn't too clear, she guided and rephrased my wordings in simple French so that I could grasp the meaning without falling back on English. We used English only when we weren't clear, but 95% of the time, I was able to practice my spoken French. The lesson boosted my confidence in spoken French and I am looking forward to my next class with Lia. If you see this review, do give Lia's class a go!
