Anna

My name is Anna, and I’m a passionate teacher of French as a foreign language. I invite you to enjoy a full immersion stay in our charming family home, located right in the center of Auxerre—a beautiful historic town in the Burgundy region of France.

Together with my husband Jérôme, an antique dealer and trained chef, our daughter Nastia (6 years old), our dog Stella, and our cat Léon, we form a lively and welcoming family. With us, you’ll be treated like one of our own, in a warm, joyful, and inspiring atmosphere.

With over 20 years of experience teaching French as a Foreign Language, I have developed a strong foundation in language pedagogy, both in academic institutions and cultural centers such as universities and Alliances Françaises. I hold a PhD in Language Didactics and a Master’s degree in Linguistics from France, and I am certified to administer the DELF and DALF exams. My international teaching journey — particularly in Russia and France — has given me the opportunity to work with a wide variety of learners, especially adult students, in both in-person and remote settings.

Passionnante about intercultural exchange and active learning, I design immersive learning experiences that go beyond traditional instruction. I believe in creating meaningful, human-centered environments where students feel empowered to express themselves, explore language through culture, and develop autonomy. My interactions with learners are rooted in empathy, creativity, and encouragement — values that continue to guide my work as a teacher, mentor, and lifelong learner.
