Description

Hi, l am a dual French/Australian national who grew up in Sydney but lived most of my adult life in France. I have been teaching French in Australia on a voluntary basis and have just finished my TEFL certificate. So l am now back in Europe, based in Paris and travelling around Europe meeting new people and gaining experience teaching English or French to all ages and cultures. I love going to new places as much as l love returning to old favourites. As well as being a mother to 2 boys (now young adults but forever my wee babies 😁) I have done many different jobs from television producer to faculty assistant to racehorse strapper. My volunteering has been 5 years in the gardening team of a beautiful wildlife sanctuary, helping in a charity shop and teaching French to pensioners. So l have many different skills and am very quick to dive in to anything new.

More details about your skills

For over 10 years as a faculty assistant in an MBA and PhD setting, l dealt with young career professionals from 100+ different nationalities and cultures. I also taught French to people over 60 and English (many years ago) to both my sons' 7 year old fellow students. So l have dealt with all ages and all cultures and so l am always prepared for anything and everything 🙂
