About the tutor

With more than 10 years experience, I worked in various institutions around the world in Taipei (Taiwan), Chengdu and Xiamen (China), Ho chi Minh city (Vietnam) and online (France). At present, I work for the university of Limoges and as a self employed :trainer for corporate learners.


I own a master's degree in linguistics (TESOL) from the university of Portsmouth, a bachelor's degree in mandarin/ FLE (Teaching French to speakers of other languages) from the National Institute of Language and Eastern Civilisation (Paris) and a DAEFLE (certification for French teachers) from the French Alliance.


From my experiences and studies, I developed curriculums focused on the importance of listening, speaking and pronunciation. My lessons are entirely tailored to your needs and teaching preferences, may you be a total beginner or an expert user of the language. With me, no laborious grammar or written exercises during the lessons, you will learn the language by having fun but most importantly, by speaking !


I'm passionated about education and languages in general and have been working in various institutions both in France and abroad (7speaking, University of Limoges, University of Xiamen, International Institute of Education etc...). I own a master's degree in linguistics (TESOL), a bachelor degree in Chinese Mandarin, minor in FLE (French teaching) and various certifications such as the DAEFLE (French alliance) and a TEFL (Bridge education).


I teach French lessons for all levels (beginners to advanced). I specialized in education towards adults and young adults (university and corporate level).


My lessons are 100% tailored to your needs, teaching style, and interests. We will work mainly on your speaking and listening abilities, but also on lexis and pronunciation. The aim is to help you communicate fluently and with ease in French.


During the lessons, we will use different kinds of materials : recordings, videos, articles, literature etc... At the end of each class you will receive a detailed report with extra exercises and documents to help you reinforce what has been covered in class.


Speaking Chinese and English fluently, I can relate to the constant efforts required to understand and speak a language. This is why my lessons always take place in a patient and kind atmosphere, while being structured at the same time.


Here are my programmes :


General French lessons (A1 to C2)

DELF/DALF/TCF preparation

Conversational French

Writing of emails/ cover letters and resumes

Crash course to get around in France

Etc...


As a certified and legal self employed tutor with a SIRET number, I can also provide invoices.


I would be delighted to help you improve in French, see you soon !




Why me then?

If you are looking for a fun, energetic and passionate teacher, then I am the right choice. Book a trial lesson with me so we can discuss your goals and how to reach them, but also give you a glimpse of what you can expect by having a lesson with me. I am sure you will make a lot of progress in no time.
