Our Team

I am from Roanne in the Massif Central. I studied history and got a PGCE in Exeter before taking over Alliance Francaise-Devon in 2004. I love speaking English and teaching French. Witnessing students’ progress is extremely rewarding. I also love dark chocolate, swimming in the sea and French literature. 

I am from Paris. I first worked in business and then moved to London to learn English. I taught in Germany before joining Alliance Française-Devon in 2017. I am a qualified teacher with a solid experience in teaching French to adults as well as children. I love languages and foreign cultures, this is why I am now learning Mandarin Chinese.

I am from Aquitaine. With a Masters degree in teaching French as a foreign language, I started working at Alliance Française-Devon in 2004. I want to give learners the opportunity to learn French in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. I also love talking about food and sharing a delicious meal with students.

I am from la Réunion and my background is in textile and music. I  love sea swimming and gardening.
After teaching in secondary schools, I joined AF-Devon in 2020. I particularly enjoy the interactions with our students who are bringing so much to the group.

I am from a small place in the Alps called the Ubaye Vallée. I grew up in international environments across Brussels, Paris and London, becoming a fluent bilingual French and English speaker. I love travelling, learning new languages and attempting to communicate with locals to discover their culture. Most recently I have taken up learning Arabic.

I come from Vendée. I hold a PhD in medieval literature, have taught French language and culture at the University of Exeter, and joined the Alliance Française in 2025. I love languages, the way they expand my world. I have a curious mind: when I’m not in the classroom exchanging ideas with students, I spend time progressing my research. I am also a half-decent painter.
