Born and raised in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, I spent over 23 years living and breathing the city's vibrant culture and history. Though I moved to the United States eight years ago, my heart has never left Paris—it remains firmly rooted in the city that shaped me.
With extensive experience teaching French, European history, and philosophy - including at the college level in Chicago - I created the Parisian Academy to help English speakers discover the beauty of the French language and culture.
As an educator at heart, I designed my masterclass to make learning French practical and deeply engaging. Together, we'll explore France's language, culture, and history in a way that will ignite your passion for Paris and leave you falling in love with the City of Light all over again!

"Bonjour! I have been learning French from Parisian Academy this spring, and it has been a great experience. Alexandra is a very thoughtful teacher who puts a lot of thought into how she presents the material. Her lessons were engaging, useful, and she was very patient with everyone in class always
encouraging her students to try. Je recommande vivement Parisian Academy à toute personne intéressée par l'apprentissage du français."
"Alex did a great job teaching me French for beginners. Her style was really great for those who only know a little French or don't know French at all. Her lesson plans and videos really helped the learning process. In addition, her weekly live lectures were great to help us further understand the materials. I highly recommend Alex and really appreciate all she did to help me keep up with my French-speaking daughter!"
"I miss my French classes already. Parisian Academy was so fun!! Every Friday morning, we had not the typical ABC classes. We learned also about the culture and places where to go in France at the same time we were learning how to speak like we were in those scenarios. Also, we were able to practice with the material and recording classe.
