About Me

Bonjour, I have taught French for over a decade now and I love it. I enjoy connecting with people who share similar interests and a passion for French culture and language. I have taught over 300 students in my career in both one-on-one and group settings. I work with serious students interested in either refining their French skills or beginning their language journey. For all of my students, the intent is to reach a proficiency level matching that of an educated native French speaker. My students often work in the private sector for large organizations such as the IMF (International Monetary Fund), the World Bank, Sanofi (France), and Dassault (USA), or for the United States Government (USG). This includes the DoD, Ex-USAID, DA, and the Intelligence Community (IC). My students understand the work and dedication necessary. I would be thrilled to work with you and help you master the language. My teaching style is unique because I establish a partnership with each student. Together, we design a plan to maximize your strengths and find the appropriate domains to enhance the four disciplines of language acquisition: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced student, I will craft a program with you that will progressively lead you to your objectives. Learning a language should be fun and relaxing, and whatever you learn must stay with you, even when you do not practice, so it will come back to you when you need it. I will lead your efforts, leveraging your learning skills to maximize the effectiveness of our sessions together. France is a beautiful country, and French is a soft language to hear that you can learn and use either in France or in any francophone country, spoken by over 500 million people, and widely used as a second language in the international community. A few words about me: Born, raised, and educated in France, I am a dual US/French national. Please refer to my CV or resume to quickly understand my qualifications. You must work to memorize the material we cover in our sessions so we can build on each one. I will lead your efforts, leveraging your learning skills to maximize effectiveness. Testimonies from my past students attest to their learning achievements with me. I lived in the U.K. and now live in the U.S. While I teach my native language, I am fluent in Italian and Spanish. I own two master's degrees in international trade and in Business Administration. Weekly, you will receive my newsletters aimed to improve your learning skills. Remember once again, learning is a process.
