After graduating from École hôtelière de Lausanne, I worked in hospitality across Europe and South Africa. I loved it. But I also learned something important: the best experiences come from real human connection. In each and every destination, I've been helping and teaching my friends, colleagues or staff with french! When I moved to Italy, I threw myself into learning Italian. Six months of daily practice, mistakes, and persistence made me fluent. That experience taught me: Immersion works - even if you're not physically in the country Speaking > Studying - conversation beats textbooks every time Mistakes are necessary - every error is actually progress Personalization matters - we all learn differently Now I live on a farm in South Africa, building a slower, more intentional life. Teaching French fits perfectly with that mission - helping people connect, grow, and open new doors through language. I don't teach French because it's a job. I teach it because I genuinely love seeing that moment when students realize "Wait... I'm actually speaking French!" My promise to you: Every lesson will move you forward. No wasted time, no fluff, just real progress toward YOUR goals. 🎯 YOUR TRIAL LESSON - What to Expect Our first 25 minutes together: Minutes 1-5: Getting to Know You Quick chat to understand your current level (no scary test!)
