But who am I ?
But who am I ?
Welcome to my world !
Welcome to my world !
I am passionate about teaching and communication, with a professional background as rich as it is diverse. As a graduate of the Alliance Française, I had the opportunity to become a DELF/DALF examiner and corrector, which allowed me to contribute to the dissemination of the French language with rigor and enthusiasm. Today, I lead thematic conversation classes for advanced levels and organize language immersion stays.
My mission: to make learning French lively and authentic, by combining grammar, culture, and real-life situations.
What if I told you more about my background ?
It all started with five years of university studies in Law, with a specialization in Social Law. This training gave me a solid foundation in analysis and understanding of human issues. Then, my path took an unexpected turn towards supporting people with disabilities. This led me to train on Autism Spectrum Disorder and to become an animal mediator in a care facility. I held the position of volunteer manager for autistic and intellectually disabled adults , where I set up continuing education programs and coordinated numerous socializing activities. This experience taught me the importance of listening, collaboration, and adapting to the specific needs of each person.
At the same time, I developed my communication skills, including managing newsletter writing, creating materials and fundraising for associations. Creativity is at the heart of everything I do, and this is also reflected in my experience as the founder of a personalized products company where I successfully combined design and marketing. Organizing events, leading workshops, managing budgets... I love taking on new challenges and seeing my ideas come to life!
What motivates me every day is the desire to share, innovate, and build relationships . Whether it's teaching French, supporting social projects, or exploring world cuisines, my other passion, I like to throw myself fully into what I do. A mother of three and a recent grandmother, I've learned to juggle roles and find joy in the little moments of everyday life, whether it's during a family hike or rummaging through a flea market.
Beyond my professional career, it is this passion for people and this thirst for discovery that drives me every day and pushes me to always go further.
I would be delighted to meet you and share new adventures together in French!
French Language and Me
French Language and Me
As a certified teacher of French as a foreign language, I invite you to discover a dynamic and personalized learning approach. My background, enriched by a diploma from the Alliance Française de Paris and my experience as an examiner and corrector for the DELF and DALF exams and the TEF exam, ensures you quality training.
My active method, aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), focuses on the acquisition of French through concrete and interactive tasks . Whether during conversation classes or during immersion stays, each session is carefully adapted to meet your specific needs .
My courses address real-life situations and draw on materials from everyday life, in order to provide you with immediately applicable skills. My goal is to guide you towards complete autonomy in French, helping you communicate with ease and master the subtleties of the language.
My personal experience of learning Italian in context
has deeply convinced me of the effectiveness of language immersion.
It is this conviction that pushed me to create these immersion stays, thus offering a unique opportunity to learn French in a natural and effective way.
In addition, my five years of law studies enrich my teaching, which is particularly useful for those seeking to master French in a professional or legal context .
My goal is to guide you towards rapid and sustainable progress, by creating a motivating learning environment adapted to your objectives.
Together, we will transform your French learning into an enriching and unforgettable experience.
