Summary

I am dedicated and enthusiastic French teacher with 12+ years of experience in multicultural educational settings in Perth. Skilled in creating dynamic and engaging learning experiences, specializing in making language learning enjoyable through storytelling, interactive topics, and fostering a supportive environment for students of all abilities to thrive. Born and raised in Paris, I bring authentic cultural insights to the classroom and have a deep understanding of the cognitive and social benefits of multilingualism. Raising three children in a trilingual household, I practice these principles daily. Returning from maternity leave, I am excited to resume my role as a casual relief teacher in 2025. While my main experience is in secondary education (Years 7-12), I am eager to expand my expertise into the primary sector as well.
