As a French national, I have lived in the UK for 22 years. I gained a PGCE from the University of Oxford and I have 15 years of experience in teaching French at all levels (from beginners to proficient users and natives) and Spanish up to GCSE level.

More recently, I have undertaken the CELTA course to teach English as a secondary language during which I fully developed my on-line teaching techniques. I use various support in my teaching to feed my students curiosity whilst helping them to develop as learners of a language. I have always managed to built successful relationships with my students because I work hard to secure a nurturing environment where all of them feel included, safe and able to make mistakes, as these are very much part of the learning process. 

Teaching is a real passion, being able to share my knowledge and see my students develop as learners and grow in their confidence is an immensely rewarding experience for me.
