I’m a French teacher based in Melbourne, originally from Geneva, Switzerland. I studied History, English Literature, and Linguistics at the University of Geneva, then moved to Australia to complete a Master of Cultural Heritage at Deakin University.

 

I first thought I’d be a museum curator and even completed internships in museums. Then, COVID hit and things changed. I deepened my love for languages and completed two teaching diplomas: CELTA (for teaching English as a second language) and DAEFLE (for teaching French as a second language).

​

Since 2020, I’ve worked as a French teacher and a Language Assistant in different schools across Melbourne. I have worked with all kinds of students: from near-native speakers to those rebuilding their confidence after a break.

What I enjoy most as a teacher is finding the “window” that makes French click for each student. Sometimes it’s about explaining a tricky concept in just the right way so they get that light-bulb moment. Other times, it’s about connecting their own interests — whether it’s sport, music, fashion, or history — to something French. That’s when learning feels exciting, progress feels real, and students discover they’re capable of more than they thought.
