Born and raised in France, I moved to Ireland in 2010, and completed my Master’s Degree in Teaching French as a Foreign Language in 2012, from the Université de la Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris. After teaching in primary and secondary schools, I decided to create my own French language school to share my language and my culture with you, and Rendez-vous français opened in 2016!

I wanted to offer classes where students learn to ACTUALLY speak French, because every time an Irish person told me they learnt French in school, they added “But I can’t speak it”.

More than a job, teaching is my real passion, and as they say “Do what you love, and you won’t be working a single day in your life” (almost). Except when I need to make a phone call (you will always get a much quicker answer by text or email, just saying #phonephobia)

Over the years I have taught students aged from 3 years old to 75 years old, from all over the world, in Ireland and in France. I am also an examiner for Junior Cert and Leaving Cert exams. My students have described me as positive, motivated, imaginative, fun and dynamic!

Born in Poitiers, France, I have always been deeply connected to the French language and culture. After studying Fine Arts at the University of Bordeaux, I went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in French Literature and a Master’s degree in Teaching French as a Foreign Language (FLE). My passion for literature, the arts, history and travel continues to inspire both my life and my teaching.

Over the past few years, I have taught French in different countries, including at the Alliance Française in Amsterdam and the University of Turku. Working with children, teenagers and adults in multilingual and multicultural environments has helped me develop a flexible teaching approach that is tailored to each learner’s needs, goals and pace.

For me, teaching is much more than a profession; it is a vocation. I strive to create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel confident expressing themselves, making mistakes and learning through communication. I believe that language learning is most effective when it is enjoyable, engaging and driven by curiosity, while also opening the door to new cultures and perspectives.

I am also passionate about language teaching methodology and keep up to date with the latest research in language education so that my lessons remain effective, dynamic and enjoyable. Having previously lived in Ireland, where I had the opportunity to observe different approaches to teaching French, I am delighted to be back in a country where I quickly felt at home and to support new learners on their journey with the French language.
