Tutor Bio
Bonjour,
I am a professional French language tutor, translator, and interpreter based in Nairobi, with extensive experience working in both educational and corporate environments. I am affiliated with the Alliance Française de Nairobi and specialise in French as a Foreign Language (FLE), teaching learners from beginner to advanced levels in line with the CECRL framework.
With over a decade of experience in language education and intercultural communication, I have worked with a diverse range of learners, including individuals, institutional clients, and corporate teams. My approach is interactive, communicative, and learner-centred, focusing on building real-world language skills, confidence, and cultural awareness.
I am also a certified examiner for DELF/DALF and TEF/TCF, which allows me to prepare students effectively for international French proficiency exams.
Whether you are preparing for an exam, improving conversational fluency, or needing professional language support, I tailor each session to your specific goals to ensure clear progress and practical results
