About Me
👩🏫 Who am I as a teacher?
A passionate, patient, and dedicated teacher, I firmly believe that everyone can succeed—with the right support and regular practice. I’m convinced there’s no such thing as a “bad student,” only students who haven’t yet found the right method, the right rhythm, or the right person to guide them.
With a background in literature, philosophy, and pedagogy, I design my lessons as sessions of real, step-by-step progress. We move forward gradually, we practice, we make mistakes, we try again... and we improve. Because to me, consistent practice is the true key to success. The more you practice, the more confident and fluent you become—both in writing and speaking.
My teaching style is both demanding and kind. I help my students recognize their strengths, work on their weaknesses without discouragement, and most of all, understand exactly what is expected of them—whether it’s for the French baccalaureate, an assignment, or simply to express themselves more clearly.
Every student is unique, which is why my lessons are personalized and adapted to each individual: their level, goals, learning style, and any challenges they may face. Everything is taken into account to help them progress efficiently and at their own pace.
✨ What do my students appreciate?
My ability to make things clear, my positive energy, and my unwavering support. With me, we work seriously—but always in a calm and motivating atmosphere. Together, we give ourselves the means to succeed.

Education
Passionate about the French language, literature, and the transmission of knowledge, I have built a rich and coherent academic path centered on teaching French, both to native speakers and to learners of French as a foreign language.
In 2020, I earned a Literary Baccalauréat with highest honors (Très Bien). This education gave me a strong general culture, excellent written and oral language skills, and a well-developed capacity for critical analysis and expression.
From 2020 to 2022, I completed two years of intensive preparatory classes (Hypokhâgne/Khâgne A/L) with a specialization in Modern Literature. These demanding years helped me develop rigorous intellectual discipline, advanced skills in literary analysis and essay writing, as well as the ability to tackle complex topics under time constraints. They also sharpened my work methods and sense of autonomy.
In 2021–2022, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy, with honors. This year allowed me to deepen my critical thinking, explore major philosophical schools of thought, and strengthen my writing skills—especially useful for argumentation, pedagogy, and structured thinking.
In 2022–2023, I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Modern Literature, also with honors. During this year, I solidified my knowledge of French literature, linguistics, and stylistics, while discovering new tools for literary analysis and pedagogical approaches to studying texts. It was also the year I began seriously reflecting on how to effectively transmit literary knowledge.
Since 2023, I have been pursuing a Master’s degree in Teaching (MEEF) for Secondary Education, with a major in Modern Literature and a focus on French as a Foreign Language (FLE). This professional program prepares me both for teaching French in secondary schools and for teaching FLE. I am developing concrete pedagogical skills: designing lesson sequences, adapting to diverse student profiles, managing classrooms, offering personalized support, and using formative assessment. I’m also exploring the intercultural dimensions of teaching French to non-native speakers.
📝 A solid and personalized preparation for the French baccalaureate
Thanks to my demanding background in literature and philosophy, and my professional training in teaching, I am fully equipped to support first-year high school students in their preparation for the French baccalaureate, both written and oral. I offer:
Clear and step-by-step methods for every type of exercise (commentary, essay, summary-essay, line-by-line analysis, oral interview)
Targeted work on set texts and text groupings
Personalized practice with detailed corrections
Tips to manage oral exam stress and gain written fluency
And above all, a caring, supportive approach to help every student regain confidence.
With me, no rigid lessons—each session is tailored to the student’s concrete needs to help them make progress, enjoy understanding texts, and earn points on the bac.
