• Do you speak this language fluently because of your origins or because a teacher inspired you to learn?

  Being a native French really helps with this one :)

• Can you name a living, historical or fictional character that you think is the emblematic representative of the language's culture?

  I always loved the Tintin character from the comic album. A brave reporter from Belgium who travels the world with his dog - what's not to like? :)

• Is there a typical word, phrase, tradition or behavior in the language that you particularly like?

  A sweet French breakfast with café and croissant is the sweetest thing ! ;)

• Why does speaking this language matter to you?

  Learning French is said to be hard and frustrating.
  I want to show that it doesn't have to be. French can be made simple, using the right method.

• What is the main difficulty in learning this language and what can help the process of learning?

  Grammar is usually a tricky point.
  I use a lot of examples to show that it is actually not so difficult.
  Listening and speaking can be intimidating also. They require some guidance. I help with giving you precise feedback on what to focus on exactly.
  I also like to answer any question you may have, any time during the lesson.

• Provide a valuable anecdote related to your language learning or your days at school.

  I loved learning English, especially translating from English to French. I would spend a lot of time on finding the perfect word. Challenging, especially when you need to switch languages!

• How has travel or a specific trip helped you to increase your skill and knowledge of the language?

  Only when I left France for London did I realize: people were interested in learning my native language!
  I wanted to help them but as a native speaker, I needed to put myself in their shoes. I had to see learning French from their perspective, which really helped me grow as a person.

• What makes you a Superprof in language?

  I can relate to students learning a foreign language, as I have gone through the process myself.
  When I started, more than 10 years ago, I knew there was something I loved about teaching French... and I am still passionate about it!
  Over the years I specialized in exam preparation, developing French fluency for work or personal life, as well as helping younger students develop a passion for French.
  I love all aspects of teaching French. I love to see my students feel a sense of accomplishment, feeling that they understand French now. I like to think that this will give them more confidence and success in their personal lives.
