Enseignante anglophone en maternelle

I grew up in the County of Devon, in the south-west of England, a beautiful region surrounded by countryside and sea. As a child, I was lucky enough to spend several summer holidays in Switzerland, where I could go hiking and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. This is where I developed my love for the mountains!

Following a professional opportunity for my husband, we moved to France in September 2020 with our 3 daughters, then aged 15, 12 and 10.

A passionate dancer from an early age, I studied dance and earned my Bachelor of Arts (Hons) at the University of Wolverhampton. I then worked for a year in international schools, teaching at summer, spring and winter camps in Switzerland and France.

This teaching experience led me to obtain a Graduate Certificate in Education with Qualified Teacher Status (PGCE QTS) at the Royal Academy of Dance. I then taught in vocational, secondary and primary schools, following the national English curriculum in the UK. I had the opportunity to work in a kindergarten where I taught children aged 4-6.

I like to help each child acquire values and understand the world around them and enjoy seeing him or her gain confidence in himself and develop his or her overall fine motor skills as he or she goes through their educational journey. I always strive to create a safe and stimulating learning environment, as it is essential for the growth and development of every child.
