I am married to a Kiwi and we recently moved to New Zealand to Cambridge with our two children.

I love sharing the French culture, I am passionate about teaching French and I am very happy to join Alliance Francaise. 
I am looking forward to meeting you at our cultural events ! Si vous voulez un peu de France dans votre vie et apprendre la langue venez nous rejoindre !

A tout bientôt !  






 

I came to New Zealand for an internship as part of my master’s degree and I loved it so much that I have been living here for 2 years. I love hiking, diving and all things outdoors.

Currently, I am studying towards a PhD in marine chemistry at the University of Waikato alongside demonstrating chemistry laboratory classes.

I enjoy teaching a lot and I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge of the French language with all of you !

À très bientôt !

I am very passionate about teaching - I teach both my children French at home and have been actively involved in the local French playgroup "Les petits Lascars". I also had the opportunity to provide teaching cover for the homeroom teacher at "La petite Étoile", a French preschool in Auckland.

Alongside teaching, I love to learn, and am currently undertaking a postgraduate diploma in teaching at the University of Waikato, as well as working towards my French Government accredited 'teaching French as a second language' (DAEFLE- Diplôme d’aptitude à l’enseignement du Français Langue Étrangère) qualification.

I believe that teaching languages should never be limited to the proficiency in grammar and vocabulary - learning a foreign language is a key to understanding other cultures, and I look forward to sharing my own cultural heritage with my students and to bringing genuine francophone experience into the classroom!

A bientôt, j'espère.

 

Passionate about education in general, and languages in particular, I have always carried on being a learner. Interested in the effective use of digital technologies in learning, I became a Core Education eFellow in 2010 and a Microsoft Innovative Educator a few years later. Since I wanted to support all students’ learning, I commenced a master’s degree at Auckland University in 2016 followed by a Doctorate in Education at the University of Waikato in 2017.
With the Alliance Française in Hamilton, I have been teaching children as well as adults. Since I already teach teenagers during the day, I am fully equipped now to teach French to students from 5 to 99 years old! I cannot wait to teach you during one of the classes I take at the Alliance Française in Hamilton.
À bientôt, Florence

I absolutely love sharing my French language, culture and traditions and I am so happy to have such an amazing team of French teachers here in the Alliance Française in Hamilton. If you want to learn French but also be immersed in French culture, come and join us, we would absolutely love to have you with us!

Bonjour à tous,
I am William and I grew up in the north of France. For most of my highschool years and for my studies, I lived in Compiègne, a small city an hour from Paris. Since then, I travelled a bit around Europe and Asia.
Before coming to New Zealand, I used to work for a small start-up based in Brussels: coming to Hamilton for my PhD at the University of Waikato is definitely a life-changing experience for me, but not one I regret so far! I've been enjoying the amazing landscapes of New Zealand, as well as meeting its amazing people and getting to know the culture.
Teaching or tutoring have been on my mind for a while, and I'm keen on helping you learn French!
Au plaisir de se rencontrer !
