Bonjour!

I am French, and I live in New York. I graduated with a college degree from La Sorbonne in Italian translation. Thus, languages are my passion.

J’ai un master en Psychologie en Français, d’ailleurs je donne souvent des conférences en Anglais et en Français. J’ai même publié des livres en Anglais et en Français qui peuvent être vérifiés sur le site Amazon.
Pour ceux qui veulent un Anglais ainsi que le Français d’entreprise, je suis disposé à adapter les cours suivant votre niveau ainsi que votre domaine.
