Über mich
I am a mother of three university students who grew up with me dragging them to museums and cultural events all over the world and who now - as a result - seek those experiences out themselves!
After secondary school I read psychology at university but never truly loved it (although I duly finished it) and so it was a great luxury to be able to first take classes in art history and later go back to university to study a subject which I had enjoyed since my years at school.
The enjoyment you can get out of a holiday or a visit to a gallery is so much greater knowing why or what or when and I love enjoying art with others simply because every one brings something different to the experience.
The French Belle Epoque writer (who himself was rather obsessed with the fine arts) said it best: “It is only through art that we can escape from ourselves and know how another person sees a universe which is not the same as our own.."

I give private lessons in art history for three years, either for students who need an accompaniment, or for the curious who want to enrich their artistic culture.

My teaching adapts precisely to the needs of each student and especially to their way of assimilating information.
Former student in difficulty, I developed a method that allows to analyze any type of work, from classical to contemporary, without prior knowledge.
I am specialized in the methodology of dissertation / dissertation according to the rules of the French University. (Construction of the plan, development of a common thread, layout etc.)

Passionate, I also like to transmit the wonderful stories of the works during introductory courses in art history, artistic culture or guided tours of the museum.

My classes are also convivial moments where we can talk about our personal interests, which allows me to direct my students to exhibitions, readings or events related to their subject.

My goal is obviously to make my students autonomous, so I give them all the tools they need to know how to provide excellent work without being dependent on the particular teacher at the end of the year.

My latest students:

- Zaïd: redoubling for the second time his degree in Visual Arts at the Sorbonne because of theoretical subjects, passed his exams successfully this year. He regained confidence and taste to study.

-Claire: student at Boulle school in woodcarving redoubled because of his memory. I supervised him in the writing of his new dissertation mixing literary analysis, artistic and scientific discoveries. She validated it brilliantly.

-Tian: 30 years old, Chinese student, had no knowledge of Western art history. After a year of private lessons, she was admitted to the GRETA School of Tour Guides.

-Aude: I guide Aude and her two teenage children in the big museums to discover the little stories behind each painting. From the Palais de Tokyo to the Louvre Museum I invent for them playful ways to apprehend the works.

- Jacqueline: 94 years old, had lost her good humor and was bored. For 2 years now, we have met every week for a moment of sharing and exchange around artistic themes chosen especially for her. It’s a joy for everyone.
