Who am I?

Would you like to have the language skills necessary to properly integrate in France?
Do you need to move to a German speaking region?

I can help you!

 

• Learning a language by internet or from an app can be a useful addition but is never a replacement for having a teacher with you.
• For me, teaching is about transmitting, exchanging and sharing knowledge.
• It is about throwing yourself into a dynamic and open working environment.
• I’m passionate about modern languages.
• I understand all the demands of learning a language.
• My professional and private environment is multicultural and multilingual.
• Professionally qualified and experienced, I trained in Germany and in France.

Qualifications

For teaching French as a Foreign Language, I hold a degree from FAU Erlangen-Nurnberg. Similarly, I am qualified as an examiner/marker for the DELF A1 to B2 (authorized by CIEP) and I am attached to the examination centre at the Institut Français in Berlin. I am extremely familiar with the content of the exams.

 

I hold a Masters degree in German (FAU Erlangen-Nurnberg and Sorbonne) and have successfully passed the German CAPES. For academic and professional reasons, I lived for almost two enriching decades in Germany. As  a lover of that country, I regularly return to Germany for work and pleasure.

Experience

My professional experience in teaching adults French/German as a Foreign Language ranges from beginners to experts (A1 to C2 of the CERCL) and is as follows:

 

In Germany: University of Erlangen-Nurnberg, the Nurnberg Chamber of Commerce and Industry, VHS Language School.

 

In France: GRETA Language Centre in Valbonne; DIF courses in several organisations in Sophia Antipolis including Bayercrops, INRIA, Intel, Nusil, SAP labs. I’ve accompanied several people in their journey to acquire the language skills necessary for French citizenship (Level B1 required).

 

Since 2000, I’ve also been teaching French as a Foreign Language at AHPSA, a dynamic association in Valbonne, which among other things is known for teaching modern languages.

 

My organisation, which was created in 2012, has taught French and German to more than 100 professionals in the Sophia Antipolis area. SAP Labs in Mougins and many other students have entrusted their confidence in me from the beginning and continue to do so (see Testimonials). It received the Datadock referencing, which means quality control of the training.
