Bonjour! My name is Samuel and I'm from Montreal, Canada. I studied ethnolinguistics and Japanese at Université de Montréal and did a 1-year exchange in Japan back in 2012-2013. After that, I worked for many years in international education with French and English learners in Montreal, helping them improve their language skills while enjoying la belle province of Québec. I'm an avid language learner (proficient in 5 languages and playing around with a few others), and my travels have led me all over the place, from Europe to Asia, all over the Americas and now Down Under!

DAEFLE Diploma

Hello, I'm Chloé, I'm from Bretagne, in the west coast of France.

After I finished my degree in communication and languages in Normandy, I moved to Ireland where I taught French to students and help them prepare French exams.
Discovering a new culture was one of the many reasons why I teach French as a foreign language. Then I came to New Zealand at the beginning of 2020 and, during the lockdown, I taught French online all around the world.

I started to work at Alliance Française Wellington just after lockdown, I am very happy to be able to teach French in New Zealand and share my culture with all of you!
