Our team

I have taught as a preschool and primary school teacher in France for 7 years until I moved permanently to Australia with my family in 2007.

After a short teaching experience at Killarney Heights primary school, I realised that a structured French environment was missing in Sydney to help children with a French speaking background develop French speaking and get ready to learn reading and writing skills in French once they enter primary school. That is why I created Les Petites Classes, at first, for my own children and their playmates.

Over the years, my preschoolers have grown up and, as a result, I have developed reading and writing classes for them. And over the years again, my students grew up and entered High School encouraging me to create High School classes. My motivation is to offer a quality learning environment that allows francophone children to cherish and expand their mother tongue.
I am also the happy mum of four children.

Fun fact: From the region of Nantes, I love cooking crepes and savory buckwheat crepes!

From a very young age, I dreamed of becoming a teacher. Teaching naturally became more than just a job for me — it is a true passion. What I love most is being able to pass on knowledge to children, support them in their learning while watching them grow and thrive, and above all, help them gain access to knowledge and independence.

I began my career in Lyon, teaching preschool and primary school students. I then taught French in Germany for one year to middle school students, before continuing my profession for seven wonderful years in Alsace, working with students in priority education areas.

Drawn to new horizons, I chose to join Les Petites Classes to experience a new human and professional adventure. Today, it is a real pleasure for me to help enrich your children’s French culture on the other side of the world!

Fun fact: My perfect combo: friends, good wine, a platter of cheese and charcuterie… so cliché, but so delicious! (Not sure Australian customs would agree!)

After three years’ experience in a Parisian High School as a year coordinator and principal’s assistant, I moved to Australia in early 2009. I first taught for LCF (Le Club Français) and then worked at Beauty Point Public School as a French teacher with pupils from K to Y6.

I subsequently specialised in private tutoring to help French-speaking families develop their written French. I am aware that a bilingual background is a wonderful opportunity for children; nevertheless children often face difficulties in establishing French as part of their daily routine. My motivation at Les Petites Classes is to support children and give them all the necessary tools and linguistic capabilities that they need to incorporate french language into their daily life.
