Education
Taught French, English, Portuguese, and Music in schools across the UK and France, and through online lessons worldwide. I hold a Baccalauréat, DEM in Classical Guitar from the Conservatory of Music of L’Haÿ-les-Roses (France), and language teaching certifications TEFL and CAVILAM. This background allows me to create structured, engaging lessons for students of all ages and levels.”
Experience / Qualifications
I began teaching classical guitar in the early 2000s and obtained my DEM certificates in Classical Guitar and Chamber Music from the Conservatory of L’Haÿ-les-Roses in 2005. In the same year, I moved to the UK, where I learned English at Gateshead College, Newcastle, and then taught French to their students.
After returning to France in 2015, I taught English across all levels (Kindergarten to University) in both traditional and e-learning settings. I have taught at the École Supérieure Polytechnique de Marseille, the Nursing School of Marseille, and the Languages Department of Aix-Marseille University, from foundational courses to Master’s level. I have also prepared high school students for the Bac LLCE and taught English voluntarily in Latin America.
Since 2020, I have been teaching online English, Portuguese, and French (FLE) for Aix-Marseille University, CNEEL, École Française Digitale, GoStudent, Lingoda, and Voilà. I hold TEFL (2021) and CAVILAM (2023) teaching certificates.
Known for my dynamic, friendly, and professional approach, I build strong connections with students, which fosters engagement and loyalty.

I spent ten years in the United Kingdom, where I had the opportunity to teach French in a college and Music in a private school, in addition to providing private tuition.
In 2015, I returned to France and continued to teach Music in a private institution, then I became an English Teacher in middle schools, high schools, and at Aix-Marseille University within the Department of Science and Technology.
Since September 2022, I have been living in Brazil, where I have been teaching French, Portuguese, and English online.
I am deeply passionate about education and about sharing my knowledge with learners of all ages and backgrounds. My teaching style is often described as enthusiastic, engaging, and dynamic. Throughout my experience, I have observed that students are generally more motivated and confident when learning from the comfort of their own home, rather than in a traditional classroom setting.
With me, you’ll:
1. Build strong basics in grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary — step by step, without pressure.
2. Speak with confidence through real conversations and practical situations, not just exercises.
3. Discover culture — I’ve lived and taught in the UK, France, and Brazil, so I love sharing everyday expressions, habits, and cultural insights.
4. Enjoy personalised lessons that fit your goals and interests — whether it’s for travel, work, or just for fun.
5. Stay motivated thanks to a relaxed, encouraging atmosphere where you can learn at your own pace.
6. Become an independent learner, with easy tips and resources to keep improving between lessons.
7. Learning with me means progress, good energy, and lots of real communication.
