I love teaching French and reading graphic novels, especially those who talk about the Algerian War. In May 2023, I became Dr. H after completing my PhD in French and Francophone Studies from Florida State University.
Hey, I am Honorine!

Honorine comes up with ways to inspire you to want to embrace French culture to enrich your life experience no matter where you are.
“The thing that makes learning a language satisfying is not only being able to communicate, but to be exposed to and appreciate another culture. Honorine makes grammar fun to learn, but much more than that, introduces a world of fascinating travel, film, current events, music, and daily activities that make life interesting. Learning French has become a rewarding pastime and something I anticipate with pleasure each week. I am so grateful to have begun my journey with someone who has so much to offer, perhaps most of all her unfailing patience!”

If you want a tutor or wonderful french teacher, Honorine is the perfect fit!
I had been taking french for four years in school and wanted to continue and keep it up outside of school. I found Honorine and she was so kind and such an energetic and interesting person. Honorine is extremely qualified to take french as she is fluent. Depending on the type of student you are, she has prepared lessons and asks about your week or day since you last met. Sometimes we will spend the entire hour lesson just talking in french about a wide range of topics and she shows that she cares and is interested in you. I never thought it was possible to have such a wonderful professional relationship but also the ability to be friends.

Honorine has made my French improve tremendously!
“I first came to her class nervous and unable to formulate a sentence in French, and now I look forward to each of our classes and can speak for longer periods of time! She makes sure to ask what I’m weak in so that we can work on those things and make my French more well-rounded. I will be taking classes with her for as long as I can!”

Because of Honorine’s passion for teaching and her extensive experience with children, she was the perfect fit. No matter what my daughter's mood, Honorine would adapt and engage her attention.
“At first, Honorine led with playing and reading her books in French, incorporating singing and crafts. Later, she brought preschool/kindergarten materials from France and followed a curriculum she customized for my daughter. I really appreciated that because my daughter was so young, Honorine would reinforce good habits in French. She always used every minute to speak as much French as possible. Even though her “student” was my older daughter, she would involve my younger daughter whenever she could. Both my daughters loved her!”
