I am passionate about teaching French as a Foreign Language because I enjoy helping learners discover not only the language itself but also the richness of Francophone culture. With strong communication skills, patience, and a solid understanding of language acquisition methods, my goal is to create a dynamic and supportive learning environment where students feel confident to express themselves and make progress. I strive to adapt my teaching to each learner’s individual needs while making the learning process both enjoyable and effective.

I first earned a degree in Musicology at the Sorbonne, which enabled me to teach music in middle schools and music schools for many years. Then, my strong interest in the French language led me to resume university studies in Montpellier in FLE (French as a Foreign Language). I obtained a Master’s degree (Master 2) with honors—a solid didactic training based on the action-oriented approach. This constructivist method, in which learning is centered on tasks and authentic documents, promotes the use of French as a means of expression in real communication situations.

To immerse oneself in the French language is to enter a world where every word carries the weight of history, every conversation reveals a culture, and every day becomes a discovery of the soul. —Maya Angelou
