I am French. I grew up in Paris, spent several formative years in Germany, and have been living in Prague since 1999. That’s about 30 years of navigating life in a language that is not my mother tongue — which, as it turns out, is excellent training for a language coach.
I speak French, English, German and Czech. Fluently. Yes, all four. But I will occasionally make mistakes, even in French, to show you that it doesn’t matter.
Before becoming a language coach, I spent 18 years in the corporate world — project management, IT, HR, finance, internal control, GDPR. I have sat in boardrooms, drafted minutes nobody read, and survived more reorganizations than I care to count. What this means for you: we can talk about almost anything, and I will not be lost.
I changed path in 2019 and came back to what I have always loved: languages, and the people who struggle with them.
I am a Toastmaster since 2015 and a certified language coach since 2019, — which means I have spent over a decade helping people find their voice in front of an audience. I know what fear of speaking looks like. I have felt it myself.
My approach is simple: I connect the dots. Between languages, between your professional world and the words you need, between who you are and who you want to become in another language.
I don’t believe in tricks. I believe in connection.
