Le Français à la Carte

My aim is always to bring the trainee to the desired level in an agreed time frame.

Le Français à la Carte

The founder

Le Français à la Carte has come to life because as a former diplomat, I was always drawn to the international world.  When I moved to The Netherlands, I became French teacher and my courses have consistently been and continue to be primarily focused on the international sector. I tailor my courses to suit professionals from various fields and travel enthusiasts at all levels.

If you need to learn French for work, travel in Europe, Africa or America, or if you simply need coaching for preparing a speech or revising reports, Le Français à la Carte has the solution. If necessary, I collaborate with colleagues who, like myself, are French teachers.

In order to facilitate the learning process, I developed a digital grammar platform with online exercises called Grammaire de l’Académie du Français à la Carte.  For more information, please visit L’Académie du Français à la Carte.nl.

I was born and raised in Canada and worked as a diplomat for the Canadian government.  After my expatriate career involving work and travel around the world, I settled in The Netherlands where I currently teach French as a foreign language.

I hold an MA in French Literature, a Master’s degree from the Leiden University Graduate School of Teaching, a Certificate of French teaching as a Foreign/Second language and a Certificate of Business Communication.

I wish you an enjoyable and successful time with Le Français à la Carte!
