About

Teacher of French as a foreign language for 25 years, based in Tokyo for over 30 years. I started in France before moving to Japan.

Currently under contract with EF Education First and the Lingoda platform, I teach exclusively individual online lessons, to adults and to students in a French as a language of schooling context.

Academic background: DEA in cognitive ergonomics, Master's degree (Master 2) in multimedia educational engineering, training in FLE didactics (AFLE), training in web technologies.

My approach is structured and documented: each student has an online revision space with their materials, notes and personalized quizzes, which I design myself.

I speak

Teaching experience

10+ years of teaching

Current tutoring of a Finnish student who has been living in Paris for 3 years, B1 level orally but poorly assimilated grammatical basics (unconjugated verbs, tense confusions). Individual 15-hour course tailored from a precise diagnosis of her errors, to consolidate the fundamentals before moving back towards a solid B1.

Teaching methods

I build each learning journey around the student's real goal: progressing in the language, checking that a lesson is truly understood, or learning how to revise effectively. For French, my approach is action oriented: we speak, produce, solve problems, and I design the tracking tools myself (quizzes, sheets) for each student. For homework help and study skills, I rely on the same principles (real assessment, tracking over time, spaced repetition), passed on directly to the student or parent depending on the case, so that they become autonomous rather than dependent on a tool that I would maintain in their place.

Each student has a dedicated Google Drive space where materials, structured notes and quizzes are recorded, to track progress over time.

I work exclusively in individual lessons, with teenagers and adults, which allows me to adapt pace and level in real time.

Background in cognitive ergonomics, multimedia educational engineering (Master 2), FLE didactics and web technologies, 25 years of teaching in Japan, including 7 years of distance teaching in Asia.
