Private tutor in Paris, France
Education
I was born in the UK and lived there for 17 years. In 2007, I moved to Australia with my family as my father transferred from the British Army to the Australian Army. After finishing my degree in 2015, I decided to follow my lifelong dream and move to Paris. I have always wanted further my French language skills and to pursue my love of teaching. As a professional, I pride myself on being creative and engaging. I am teacher who is passionate about student-centered learning, and keeping up with this fast paced world of technology. Coming from an international background myself, I welcome a diverse curriculum that is inlcusive to all students and celebrate and thrive in a classroom that can provide a sharing and accepting of cultural experience. I am a strong leader who is willing to take on the daily challenges of teaching, and the rewards that come from persistance and hard work.

Hobbies
My interests are many and varied! But here are a few for you to have a look at: Travel – I have been very lucky to be able to travel extensively throughout Europe and all over the world. I am excited to be living in Paris and experience all it has to offer. The Arts – I am very interested in art, theatre and music. I enjoy attending art galleries and concerts and am also excited to immerse myself in the culture and history of Paris and Europe. Volunteering - I enjoy giving back to the community through my local Parish Church, St. Joseph's. In Nov 2016, I was lucky enough to be a chorister for the British Legion Remembrance Day Mass at Notredame Cathedral. I am also part of the Young Adults Group, Feed the Homeless Outreach Program, Women's Spirituality Ministry and singing in the choir. Mediation and Fitness – I enjoy waking up to meditation as it gives me a peaceful mind-set with which to start the day. Also, I enjoy keeping myself fit by walking and jogging.
