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 grew up in the North East of England and studied history, literature and languages at universities in the UK and Paris before qualifying to teach in the French university system. After a number of years in the Paris region, I moved to Devon almost ten years ago where I have taught French at the University of Exeter and, since 2023, at the Alliance Française-Devon.  I try to make my lessons at the Alliance as interactive as possible to help give students a real taste of and for French language and culture.

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 also like painting.

Breton-born, I have been living in the United Kingdom for the past five years. I enjoy creating moments of exchange and discovery around the French language and culture. A former trainer in France, I value above all transmitting with simplicity and authenticity. Outside of work, you’ll often find me hiking the scenic trails of Devon.
