About Me
Schooled in south India, I have from a very early age conversed in 3 languages, French at home, English at school and Tamil in the streets. I completed a PhD in Astrophysics in the UK, worked for the European Space Agency in Spain, and currently work as an independent consultant. My interests include science and technology, culture and art, Indian philosophy, paragliding, and sourdough baking.
I have a passion for culture and art, and love to discover the impact of geography and history on a nation's culinary, linguistic and social culture.
I offer conversational classes in English or French, discussing general knowledge, art and culture, food from around the world, travelling in Europe/India/Asia, Indian philosophy, Science & Technology, or simply the current news.
