Hi! I may not have the typical French accent - they say my English accent can sound posh sometimes - , I will nonetheless happily teach you how to say "Croissant" in the most Parisian way.

The most important element of my courses is that I can customise my lessons depending on the profile of my students and their needs, identify their weaknesses, and improve their interactional skills so that they can confront any situation confidently.
