Why Choose Me?
I'm a passionate, qualified and experienced native French Teacher. Since I left Aix-en-Provence at 6, I've always been an expat. I know the linguistic and cultural challenges you might face.
Thanks to my active listening and expertise, you will improve your French effectively in a friendly and stimulating atmosphere.
Expert
I have a strong Educational Background in Linguistics, Languages and Didactics.
I have a Master's Degree in Literary Translation (El Colegio de México) and in Hispanic Studies (Université de Montpellier). I have a Bachelor's Degree in Latin American Studies (Université de Lille) and in Didactics of French as a Foreign Language, minor in Italian Studies (Sorbonne-Nouvelle, Paris).
In 2020, I obtained the Certificate as a DELF examiner and corrector (Diplôme d'Étude de la Langue Française) at the Alliance française de Malte Méditerranée.
I have 15 years experience in teaching French in many and various contexts: Embassies, International companies, Language schools and outstanding Primary and High schools.
Passionate
I'm passionate about languages and sharing them. I'm fluent in English, Spanish and Italian. I started to learn Arabic, Irish, Dutch, German and Maltese.
I love exchanging about cultures. Thanks to my life experience, I have an inside and outside view of my culture and country. I know its specificities, which ones can surprise a foreigner and I can explain most of them.
Learning a new language is opening yourself to a new world and to a different world view. I find this adventure exciting and I would love to guide you in your French journey.
Empathic
Creating a friendly atmosphere in my lessons is essential to me. I know you might feel vulnerable when speaking a foreign language, so I make sure you feel supported and confortable.
I adapt easily to different personalities and learning rhythms thanks to my active listening. If some aspect of the language is challenging for you, I would explain it to you in many different ways until it will be completely clear.
