A Supportive and Personal Experience 

to Help You Build Confidence and Fluency

I love discovering my guests’ stories, passions and life experiences. Conversations about travel, personal projects, cultural differences and life changes are often among the moments I value most during an immersion stay.

​

As the mother of two teenagers, I’m also very interested in education, personal development and lifelong learning. Living with a journalist has naturally strengthened my curiosity about current affairs and social issues.

​

I’m passionate about history, cinema and theatre, and my background in performing arts strongly influences the way I teach. I believe confidence, listening, spontaneity and oral expression are essential to language learning, which is why I favour a lively, natural approach where learners are encouraged to communicate without worrying about being perfect.

A Lifelong Commitment to Learning and Education

With a background in Performing Arts and a Master's degree in Languages and French as a Foreign Language, I have always been passionate about communication, culture and education.

 

Over the years, I have taught in France, Central America, Mexico and the United States, and for the past several years I have been helping learners from around the world improve their French online. These diverse experiences continue to inspire my teaching and reinforce my belief that language learning is above all a human adventure.

​

I am a certified examiner for official French language exams (DELF and DALF) and have extensive experience preparing students for a variety of French proficiency tests, including the TEF, TCF and AP French Language and Culture Exam.

I am fluent in English and Spanish.

My teaching philosophy

I believe that learning a language is first and foremost about communication. Grammar is important, but confidence is just as essential. You probably know more French than you think—you simply need opportunities to use it in a supportive and encouraging environment.
 

I encourage you to speak from day one, without worrying about being perfect. Mistakes are a natural part of the learning process and often the fastest path to progress. In my experience, confidence is just as important as grammar, and helping you develop that confidence is one of my main priorities.
 

I am convinced that immersion is one of the most effective ways to accelerate language learning. When French becomes part of your everyday life—during meals, outings, cultural activities and informal conversations—learning becomes more natural, meaningful and memorable. Immersion allows you to move beyond the classroom and experience French as it is truly spoken and lived.

About Me

When I’m not teaching, you’ll often find me outdoors. I feel most at home in nature and love the way each season brings its own atmosphere. Being outside helps me recharge and stay connected to what matters most.
 

These days, much of my free time revolves around family life, basketball practices and matches, walks in nature, and weekends away with friends. Joining a women’s basketball team recently has been a particularly rewarding experience. Having never been especially sporty—and never having played a team sport before—it pushed me well outside my comfort zone and reminded me how much growth can come from trying something new.
 

I am fascinated by stories in all their forms—fiction and non-fiction alike. Whether they come from novels, films, television series, documentaries, history books, travel memoirs, or simply conversations with people from different backgrounds, I love discovering the universal themes that connect us all. Every story offers a unique perspective on the world and on the human experience, which is perhaps why I enjoy meeting people, exchanging ideas, and learning about the journeys that have shaped their lives.
