I’m Léa Tirard-Hersant — educator, polyglot, and language coach. Students from around the world know me for my personalized, human-centered approach to teaching French and English.
La Méthode de l’Escalier
Accomplished linguists like Michel Thomas, Barbara Abelila-Bauer, Stanislas Dehaene, and Olly Richards inspire my methods of teaching.
Over the years, I’ve drawn inspiration from innovative thinkers like Michel Thomas, Barbara Abdelilah-Bauer, Stanislas Dehaene, and Olly Richards. I curate high-quality resources tailored to each student, and I’m always open to their input.
In 2025, I’m relaunching La Méthode de l’Escalier, a step-by-step learning system I originally developed in 2017 — designed to help learners climb steadily toward fluency with confidence and structure. While it began with French, the method can support other languages I teach, including English — and hopefully some day, Spanish and Russian too.
My Teaching Statement
“Ma langue est ma patrie” — My language is my homeland.
Whether you’re learning French, English, or another language, my goal is to help you feel at home in it.
I create a space where learners build fluency, confidence, and connection — not just memorize rules. Whether you’re preparing for a big move, a professional goal, or simply hoping not to lose your skills, I’m here to support your journey.
Do you have a language objective for 2025 or 2026? Let’s meet it — ensemble.
