About Laila
Bonjour!
I'm Laila, a native French speaker and passionate language instructor with a genuine love for helping others discover the beauty of French.
My path to teaching combines both academic depth and real classroom experience. I hold two Master's degrees: one in Education from INSPE in Besançon, France, where I trained specifically in teaching methodology, and one in French and Francophone Studies from the University of Kansas, where I deepened my understanding of the language, literature, and cultures across the French-speaking world.
Along the way, I've taught in French secondary schools, worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the university level, and tutored students of all ages (from elementary schoolers to adult learners).
What I care about most is making French feel accessible and genuinely enjoyable, not intimidating. I know firsthand how challenging (and how rewarding) learning a language can be, and I bring patience, structure, and encouragement to every lesson.
My teaching blends solid grammatical foundations with real conversation, so you're not just memorizing rules: you're learning to actually think and express yourself in French!
Whether you're a complete beginner or working toward fluency, I tailor every lesson to your goals, your pace, and the way you learn best, all with fun and real progress!
C'est parti! (let's get started!)

As a native French speaker with formal teacher training (MA in Education from INSPE, France) and an academic specialization in French and Francophone culture (MA, University of Kansas), I combine structured pedagogy with an emphasis on real, natural communication. I don't believe in grammar for grammar's sake, every concept I teach is immediately anchored in conversation.
I begin with an informal assessment to understand the learner's current level, their goals, and their learning style, then build a personalized plan around that. I adjust based on what's working and where the learner needs more repetition or a different explanation.
A typical session blends:
- A short warm-up in French to ease into the language and review previous material
- A focused mini-lesson on a specific grammar point, vocabulary set, or pronunciation challenge
- Applied practice through conversation, roleplay, or guided exercises using that material
- Real-world context: authentic materials like short articles, dialogues, or media appropriate to the student's level
- A quick wrap-up noting progress and previewing what's next
Lessons are adapted in real time: if a student needs more time on a concept, we stay there rather than rushing to "cover" material.
I bring an authentic combination: I'm a native speaker with genuine cultural fluency, and I have formal training in how to teach — not just what to teach. My background spans French internships (Les Augustins secondary school, SOPA elementary program in Calgary), a Graduate Teaching Assistant role at the University of Kansas, and tutoring experience across academic settings (Lake Forest College, AFEV volunteer program). This means I understand both the linguistics of French and the pedagogy of how people actually acquire a second language. I know how to break down what feels intuitive to me as a native speaker into something clear and learnable!
I work well with a wide range of learners:
- Beginners building a foundation from scratch
- Intermediate learners working on fluency, natural expression, and moving past "textbook French"
- Conversational learners who want confidence speaking, whether for travel, family, or personal enrichment
- Academic learners (students in coursework needing support alongside a class) benefiting from my classroom teaching background
Whether you're starting from zero or refining fluency, I tailor lessons to your specific goals, pace, and learning style!

Laila was my French teacher in college at KU! She's THE BEST. Very patient and kind while still being extremely helpful and informative. Her teaching method prioritizes you as the learner, and she helps you gain lots of French-speaking experience. She is very prepared; would recommend.
I was really struggling taking French last semester and Laila helped me out a lot! She helped me understand the grammar and rules of French. She helped me understand concepts way better than when I was in the classroom and was always so kind!
Laila is an incredible teacher! She made learning French interesting and focused not only on perfection but understanding. She is empathetic and kind towards her students and I really enjoyed my time in her class!
Laila is a super French teacher and I give a 100% recommendation. Laila always meticulously prepares detailed lessons. She explains lessons and teaches very well, regardless of the level of complexity, and then follows up in a very structured way to reinforce the learning. She identifies learning gaps and tailors the lessons accordingly. I made great progress in both grammatical and spoken French as as result of my one on one classes with Laila. I always enjoyed my classes with Laila. Thanks Laila!
Laila was my instructor for the French Elementary class at the University of Kansas.
Her bubbly personality makes every class fun, welcoming, and something to look forward to. As a native French speaker, her accent was actually a huge help with improving my pronunciation and confidence speaking French. Her English is just as good, which was helpful for a beginner like myself.
I especially loved our interactive map activity, where we worked in groups to draw places like the church and swimming pool, label them in French, and then give directions from one destination to another, all in French!
Laila makes complex concepts feel simple, gives excellent feedback, and always uses examples that are relevant to the class. She is also incredibly supportive and available for consultations. She even noticed that “municipal piscine” (public pool) was my favorite phrase! She is very attentive.
I genuinely looked forward to her classes and would highly recommend Laila to anyone learning French.
