Trained and certified at the Alliance Française de Paris (DPAFP), I've been teaching French as a Foreign Language for the last 15 years. 

Before becoming a teacher, I studied French litterature at University. I then spent a year in Brasil as a volunteer to look after children in an educational centre.

Back to France for some time, I moved to London where I started teaching French. 
I worked initially as a tutor for French expatriate children but I soon specialised in teaching French as a foreign language to adults. 

Later, living in Vietnam, I was able to develop my experience even further by teaching general French to local children and business French to professionals. 

Feeling the need for some formal training, I decided to go back to France to study at the Alliance Française de Paris and become certified. 

I then started working in Paris where I had the opportunity to meet and teach people from various cultures, with various levels and needs (business people, expatriate wives and children).

Back to London since 2015, I teach general French to adults and teenagers, which I enjoy a lot. I'm very supportive and I really care about my students. I always do my best to meet their expectations and make them feel at ease with me.

I offer one to one tailored French classes to teenagers and adults, face to face or online.

Whether your are a complete beginner, intermediate or advanced, I adapt myself fully to you and your objectives, respecting your pace and your needs.

The content of my classes is therefore very flexible and different for each student.
We can focus on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, oral and written comprehension and/or oral and written expression.

I provide all the material but I'm always open to suggestions if you want to work on a specific document (article, book, song, poem...).

Alternatively, I can do conversation only classes to help you communicate effectively in French and speak the language as it's spoken in everyday situations.

My priority is to support you and meet your expectations in an efficient way and in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere which is why I always make sure my students are comfortable and happy with their lessons.
