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, both designed to be engaging and effective:
1- Conversation classes: For students who already have an A2 level or higher. These are relaxed, natural discussions where we can talk about anything: daily life, culture, travel, or specific topics you’d like to explore. I can also provide articles, videos, or activities to guide the conversation.
2- Lessons: If you want to work on grammar, conjugation, sentence structure, or anything more specific, we can create a tailored learning program based on your level and goals. These lessons are interactive, with exercises and practice to help you progress. Absolute beginners are welcome!

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!

Léa is a very kind and attentive teacher. Her lessons are well-prepared and fun—you are never bored since she always proposes a new activity. She creates a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, making you feel at ease while speaking French. I would definitely recommend taking lessons with her to everyone!!

J'ai eu plusieurs cours avec Léa pour préparer mon examen de français B1 et je peux dire qu'elle est un excellent professeur. Elle est toujours ponctuelle, attentive pendant les cours et facilite l'apprentissage. 100% recommandable. Merci beaucoup pour ton aide ces derniers jours, Léa!!! À bientôt!

I've now completed several lessons with Lea, and learning with her has been both enjoyable and effective. Her engaging approach has significantly boosted my confidence in speaking—before working with her, I was very shy about speaking. Lea is always well-prepared and flexible, adapting seamlessly to my needs, goals, and challenges. Thanks to her support, I've made great progress. She's also consistently punctual and friendly, making every lesson a positive experience.
