Bénédicte

Native French teacher

I am French (from Normandy) and have been living in the UK since 2002. From a very young age, I have always been passionate about languages and other cultures (I hold a BA in English & Spanish and I am currently learning Japanese). I worked in the travel industry for 20 years and have been fortunate enough to be able to visit many countries and practice my languages around the world. I grew up surrounded by teachers, from my Grand-Mother to my Mother, Aunties, Uncles; everyone was always talking passionately about education around the table when I was a child. Now, having children myself, it is very important for me to see them grow-up in a bilingual environment as well as learn about the British & French cultures amongst others. When they started attending the local Bilingual French School back in 2014, I soon got involved in the classrooms whether as an assistant or teaching lessons myself.
