• WHO AM I ?

My name is Anaëlle, I am french, I am 30 years old, and I am passionate about the French language and innovative teaching methods. I work as a primary school teacher for children aged 3 to 12, as a French teacher for learners of all ages, and as a learning coach.
From a young age, I developed a strong curiosity about different ways of teaching and learning. This curiosity led me to explore educational models around the world starting at the age of 16. I have lived and studied in France, Colombia, South Africa and Canada.

• WHAT ARE MY QUALIFICATIONS ?

I hold a bachelor’s degree, two master’s degrees, and a french teaching certificate, combining expertise in education, human development, organizational management, and international learning environments.

My academic background includes:
– a bachelor’s degree in International Relations / Political Science
– a master’s degree in Organizational Development and Change Management
– a master’s degree in Teaching and Education (MEEF)
– a certificate qualifying me to teach French and in French abroad (CAPEFE)

• WHAT IS MY PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE ?

I worked for two years as a primary school teacher across different grade levels, from petite section to CM2. I have also been working as a French teacher for the past two years.

In addition to teaching, I spent several years in larger companies working in the field of human resources.

These professional experiences, combined with my academic background and my life abroad, have given me a broad perspective on education and a deep desire to support learners in a personalized and meaningful way.

• WHAT LANGUAGES DO I SPEAK ?

I am multilingual, which allows me to connect with learners from diverse backgrounds.
I speak French, English, and Spanish fluently; I am currently learning Dutch, and I have basic knowledge of Portuguese and Russian.

• HOW DO I SEE MYSELF AS A TEACHER AND LEARNING COACH ?

For me, being a teacher or coach is not just about transmitting knowledge. It is about co-constructing learning, adapting to each individual, and bringing real-life experience into the process.
My goal is to make learning engaging, joyful, and truly personalized for every student.
While many teachers share this intention, I believe what truly makes the difference is the human connection and the right fit between teacher and learner.
Finding the right teacher is similar to finding a friend: when trust is present and you feel comfortable enough to open up, real progress becomes possible!

• WHAT ARE MY HOBBIES ?

Oustide of teaching, I am passionate about music. I started playing the piano at the age of five, I sing in an amateur choir and a semi-professional gospel choir, and music remains an important part of my life.

I also love hiking, spending time in nature, learning new languages, and discovering how they work. I am currently learning Dutch as I live in the Netherlands, and I enjoy immersing myself in the cultures around me.

I try to bring these passions and this curiosity into my teaching approach.
