Bonjour, I'm Ida!

I'm a longtime French teacher, translator and I love sharing my passion of Paris where I grew up, and the Côte d'Azur where I have been living for the past 15 years.  You might know me from my 3000+ live broadcasts where I take you for a stroll at the local marché, or explore my favorite boulangeries in the old streets of Nice.  
I am married to a Niçois, mom to a teenager - and you can find me in my quartier walking 2 cute elderly capricieux dogs - or, more likely, being walked by said 2 dogs.

"Highly recommended!"

"I love reading a book with the other students and Ida.  When I read French books by myself I can usually get the storyline but I miss the subtle meanings.  Ida helps us understand what the author means and all the more subtle nuances of the language. 

This is much more enjoyable.  It also, of course, helps a lot with pronunciation and with vocabulary building. Highly recommended!"  
   ~ Paolo, UK

"Makes the language come alive!"

"I like reading French by French authors because doing so improves my vocabulary but also I think it gives insight into the French - authors write about what they know or see or think they know - so you get a French person’s “take” on France. Also you get to know cultural and historical reference points.

Reading in French helps my French because over time, phrases and words, deep in by osmosis and I look up new words and am occasionally able to remember them."
~ Mandy, London

"A greater understanding"

"Reading books in French makes the language come alive! Immersed in the text you gain a greater understanding of French life and society, of politics and ideas, of the past and present.
Reading French books raises your French to the next level by extending your vocabulary and seeing those grammar points in context.
It’s not easy as many words will be unfamiliar: just getting the gist is important; the detail can come later."   ~ Jennifer, UK

"Merci beaucoup Ida!"

Pronunciation, reading, cultural norms... You name it – Ida was the ever-present lighthouse making sure I never strayed too far in the wrong direction.

Merci beaucoup Ida.

   ~ Marco, Brazil

"An excellent teacher"

"She is a pleasure to work with and an excellent teacher."
   ~ Kate, UK

"Makes the classes fun!"

"Makes the classes fun and takes any pressure off learning!"
   ~ Greg, USA

P.S. One last question:
Can you imagine where your French
could be 
3 months from now? And what about in 6 months?
