Bonjour tout le monde!
My experience of learning a language began when I started German lessons at school. I then moved to Paris with my family as a teenager - a move that was to mark the beginning of my love for France and everything French. I was immersed in a new culture and I loved it!
I came back to the UK to take a degree in Geography with French at the University of Sussex. This involved a brilliant year abroad studying at the Alpine Institute in Grenoble. I then went on to study a Masters in Tourism Management and took additional language modules in Italian and Spanish.
After many years living and working in London, I moved with my husband and children to Hampshire in 2017. I found myself needing a change from the corporate world and wanted to make more use of my French.
Since 2018 I have been teaching French to children of all ages, from 2 year olds up to teenagers who need help preparing for their exams. It is my passion to help children love being able to speak another language. I teach the award-winning La Jolie Ronde programme in schools and nurseries. My priority has always been on making the lessons friendly, fun and full of joy. This is how children learn best and develop their confidence.
I am now keen to begin a new adventure and extend my teaching into the adult world. I believe that a fun and relaxed approach to learning is just as important for grown ups! I am really excited to be joining the Language for Fun community and look forward to teaching anyone who wants to give it a go!
