Bio
I’m a globetrotter with an affinity for teaching and a passion for sharing my native language of French. I have lived on three different continents and in four countries: France, Canada, the United States, and Colombia. I have experienced diverse landscapes including the Amazon rainforest, Quebec's cold winters, Arizona's deserts, and the Alps. With many years of dedicated experience in the field of education, I have honed my skills as a teacher, catering to learners of all backgrounds. What drives me in the classroom is the opportunity to make a meaningful impact. My teaching style is a blend of fun and challenge. I aim to make learning an enjoyable journey, encouraging students to explore learning with enthusiasm. Whether you are a beginner or advanced learner, I can guide you on your journey. But here is a fun twist: I am not just passionate about teaching; I am also a devoted hippo lover! I have collected hippo keepsakes from all over the world!
