I'm currently traveling from Canada to Argentina on my motorcycle, splitting my time between the road and teaching French a few days a week (usually on Tuesdays and Wednesdays). I also teach for l’Alliance Française and have six years of experience teaching communication and graphic design at university in France.
Beyond teaching, I'm passionate about storytelling and documenting my journey on YouTube. Learning languages is also a big part of my adventure: I’m currently working on my Spanish as I travel.

Me as a Teacher
I believe learning a language should be fun, engaging, and adapted to each student’s goals. My lessons are personalized, interactive, and designed to help you feel confident in French. I focus on real communication, so you can actually use the language, not just memorize rules.
I also understand what it’s like to learn a new language: I’m going through it myself with Spanish! That helps me be patient and adapt my approach to what really works. Whether you want casual conversation or structured lessons, we’ll find the best way for you to learn and enjoy the process.
My lessons & teaching style
I offer two types of lessons:
1- Conversation (A2+): Casual chats about life, travel, culture… I can bring topics, games, or media to keep things flowing. The goal is to help you speak more naturally, improve your pronunciation, and gain confidence.
2- Structured lessons (all levels): Whether you’re just starting out or already advanced, these lessons give you a clear framework to progress. We’ll use the Zexperts FLE resources, which are creative, interactive, and designed to make French both fun and practical. Together, we’ll work on grammar, conjugation, vocabulary, and real-life situations... always with exercises adapted to your level and goals.

Ms. Léa Jourjon has been incredibly helpful and encouraging throughout my learning journey. She takes the time to understand my needs and always prioritises my learning and goals. Kind, flexible and supportive, she ensures I have the right foundations to move forward with confidence. I’m truly grateful for her teachings and guidance.

Léa is an absolutely amazing teacher. We have been with her to read to our seven-year-old daughter, and the experience has been nothing short of wonderful. Every session with Léa is engaging, lively, and enriching. She brings such enthusiasm and energy to each lesson, making reading an exciting adventure rather than just an educational activity. We were particularly impressed when we asked Léa to read manga-style books to our daughter. Manga can be challenging to read aloud because of the dynamic nature of the story, however, Léa handled it flawlessly, incorporating all the necessary nuances, emotions, and effects to ensure the story retained its impact. Finding Léa has been a blessing for our family, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Anyone looking for an incredible reading teacher should absolutely consider Léa!
