Personal Statement

I was born in France, am a French national, spent most my years of study in Great Britain, am married to a German national and have two Franco-German children. I have traveled and lived in many different places in the world, am very open-minded, have extremely good communication skills and almost 30 years of teaching experience with all kinds of students, of all ages, nationalities and levels. I studied English and American literatures and civilisations, completed my Master in 1985 and started a doctorate which I interrupted when I got married in 1988. Simultaneously in order to finance my study I worked as a French assistant for several secondary schools in Ireland (1983/1984) and Scotland (1985/1986) and at Newcastle Polytechnic in England (1987/1988). Between each assessment I worked on several short-term contracts as an English teacher in different schools and companies in France. I moved to Germany with my husband in 1988 and worked for various language institutes and companies as a freelance language trainer (French and English) and translator. During this time I also worked as a commercial agent for language schools in France and England. My husband´s career took us to Shanghai where we lived from 2006 to 2010. In Shanghai, I first worked as a French tutor for the "Deutsche Schule Shanghai" then as a self-employed language trainer (English and French) for adults and school children. I also continued translating for german customers. We arrived in Houston in May 2010 and after a few months spent discovering our new way of life, I am now looking forward to resuming my activity as a language trainer for teenagers and adults. French is my maternal language. My English and German are fluent. I also speak Spanish and Mandarin Chinese on a basic level and understand Italian and Danish. My main interests are communication in general (languages, art and music), cookery and wine, history and sports.
