Passionate about Sciences, Life Sciences in particular, I left France for South Africa in 2011 to complete a PhD in Biology-Zoology at the University of Cape Town.
The many valuable interactions I had with my students at the university, demonstrating, supervising and reading revealed my love for teaching.
While working with the French High School of Cape Town and with Herzlia High School (both prestigious private schools in Cape Town), I have developed a fun, creative and caring method of teaching Sciences to make sure you undestand the simplicity behind scientific concepts.
On top of it, you will be able to learn some French at every lesson and to enjoy my accent!
Passionate about science, especially life sciences, I decided to leave France in 2011 to pursue my doctoral studies in South Africa. My doctorate focused on the study of animal societies. This experience in the field of research was very rewarding; it was truly my childhood dream come true. It also made me realize the importance I placed on the education of our future generation.
The seed began to germinate thanks to the many interactions I had with university students, as a supervisor or professor, and my experiences as a science teacher at the Lycée Français du Cap and the Lycée Herzlia du Cap reinforced this choice to dedicate myself 100% to teaching. The students loved my fun and interactive lessons, as well as my desire to ensure they understood more than they remembered!

I value hard work but what I find more important is believing in ourselves and giving our best, always, whatever the outcome is. And for this purpose, I also think it is really crucial to balance hard work with an active and fun lifestyle.
adapted herself quickly and remarkably to the several grades and subjects appointed to her. She showed great commitment towards her students and managed to conduct her lessons taking into consideration the students different backgrounds.
She took her role as a head teacher very seriously, helped with mock exams composition, shared her connections at University to set up scientific interventions at school and class outings. She immediately became a respected working colleague within the teachers' team. Mrs Margaux high expertise, in Biology for instance, is extremely valuable for a school and its scientific team.
Her assiduity, her pedagogical standard, the quality of her relationship with the students, their families and the entire school staff allow me to recommend Margaux without hesitation. I hereby, testify my entire personal gratitude and trust that she will excel towards a brilliant professional career to the benefit of her future students.
Marc Falconer, Principal Herzlia High School:
'Her teaching was exemplary, and her subject knowledge (particularly in the area asked to cover) proved to be unparalleled.
Margaux was enthusiastic, involved, professional, friendly and a highly efficient and engaged team member.'
Erwann Lefol, professeur certifié AEFE en SVT
'Margaux is a dynamic teacher who combines professional competence and rigour with undeniable social qualities. Her valuable investment in the French School of Cape Town as part of the Primary-Secondary School liaison, as well as in classroom facilitation, is an indisputable guarantee of her professionalism.'
Frederic Descamp, professeur certifie AEFE en Mathematiques
'Margaux possesses excellent skills and abilities to teach mathematics and to captivate the students under her care'
