A Passion for French and Words
Throughout the years, I’ve fallen in love with words. Words can be your best friend or your worst enemy. If you misunderstand a word, you can get yourself in big trouble… You only have to know how to tame them to become their master and be in control of your life instead of being their effect.
What I Do Best
I teach French to anyone who desires to learn French. I’ve taught kids, teens, French teachers who want to improve their French to teach it to others, professionals, anyone who wants to travel to France and have some basics, anyone who wants to master it and speak it fluently.
I teach grammar to anyone who has problems with writing in his mother tongue or difficulties with acquiring a second language.
I teach how to study. With this under your belt, you can become a wizard at any subject.
What do Others Say?
There is no better way to know who you’ll be meeting than hearing from those who have already met me. Here’s what some of my students have to say:
Brigitte is a great tutor. She tutored my 10th grade daughter in French 2. She is patient, helpful and I would highly recommend her!

I highly recommend Brigitte! She’s very good, thoughtful and nice. She helped me quite a bit in brushing up my French for my last trip. I met with her on zoom for several lessons and read books together and found her to be a top notch teacher. David W.
I cannot adequately describe or express the PERFECT tutoring skills exhibited by Madam Brigitte. Madam built a study plan for my daughter which paralleled my daughter’s high school texts. The study plan focused on my daughter’s weakness areas and Madam actually pulled her higher in performance. My daughter now has an A in French. This is very important since my daughter wants to be an American journalist living in France in a few years. As I said, I cannot adequately describe how exceptional a tutor Madam is.

Brigitte is “fantastique!” I worked with her to improve my own French skills when I was a new French teacher, and recommended her to many of my students. The students who worked with her made noticeable progress! I also attended her incredible conversation nights as a member of her meet-up – “French Conversation Conejo Valley.” These conversation nights helped keep my French skills sharp and fresh for my students. Brigitte is a patient teacher, a creative professional, and dedicated to her work. Merci beaucoup, Brigitte!

Brigitte is wonderful. She was very patient, professional and understanding. She helped my son pass a very difficult French class online. I would recommend her to anyone needing any level of help with French. I will use her whenever the need arises again. Brigitte is also very friendly and kind.

Brigitte helped our daughter for several tutor sessions before the start of school. The lessons and engagement were helpful to bring my daughter back up to speed for her French level IV class after a full summer off. The tutoring was well worth it, since it lowered our daughter’s stress and helped her start the class not as rusty as she has been in previous years. Brigitte has been very diligent in her follow-up.

I am an adult who has been taking French lessons with Brigitte. I am learning a lot, I am building the confidence and knowledge to speak and write in French better and better. Brigitte is an excellent teacher! Patient, kind and helpful, and at the same time passionate about teaching the French language.
Brigitte is flexible and respectful of my schedule. The online classes work very well and include theory, exercises, listening comprehension,
and detailed and customized attention to the student’s needs.
French is a beautiful language, and Brigitte can lead you on the wonderful journey of learning it and enjoying it!

We were looking for a teacher to help solidify and expand the basics of French that our daughter needed as she switched to a school without a French program. Brigitte was the perfect one for the job! Detailed and rigorous, she’s a skilled teacher, incorporating extensive grammar knowledge with reading comprehension and analysis. When we asked her to take some months to concentrate on lining up our daughter’s AP skills, Brigitte knew exactly what was needed. Our daughter sailed through the test and received a perfect 5. Merci! B. L.
