Foreign languages are my passion which I want to share with you. My goal is for people all over the world to understand each other, for which English and French are excellent tools. I consider patience and the ability to tune in to the student's needs to be my strengths.

I fell in love with French at primary school and I learnt it well during my studies at a secondary grammar school in Normandy where I spent a year. It wasn't so straightforward with English at first but it changed at university. Although I didn't plan to teach, I just wanted to try it, I decided to continue with it as I enjoyed it as well as my students. Nowadays, I'm learning Spanish so I can understand all sorts of difficulties of my students better. During my studies, I did some translations and interpreting from time to time and I continue with it.

I cooperate mostly with individuals and small businesses who appreciate freelancer's work.

And where do I recharge? Mostly in the mountains in the best company.
