What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values language education and cultural exchange.

I am a dedicated French language educator with extensive experience teaching students from preschool to middle school. My journey in education has been marked by a commitment to fostering an engaging and inclusive learning environment. I have successfully implemented French immersion programs and have a proven track record of enhancing language acquisition through interactive lesson plans.

Throughout my career, I have taught various subjects in French, including mathematics, science, and social studies, while also providing interpretation services to bridge communication gaps. My ability to collaborate with colleagues and adapt to diverse educational settings has allowed me to cultivate positive classroom cultures that promote academic growth. I am passionate about inspiring students to appreciate the richness of the French language and culture.
