About

Recent History and French graduate, awarded First Class Honours and a Distinction in spoken French. During my studies, I spent a year abroad teaching English in France, an experience that deepened my interest in intercultural exchange. Now, I’m in Paris working as an English teacher and as a training assistant at Language Connexion France. I’m teaching at both a primary and secondary school, expanding students’ knowledge of English, history, and the anglophone world. I look forward to continuing to grow as a linguist and connect with people globally.
