About Me
I am Virginie, French native from Nantes, France. I currently live in Dubai and have been there for 17 years now. I am a qualified secondary French teacher although I have worked mainly in primary schools all my teaching life. I lived in the UK before coming here and was working in preparatory schools. In Dubai, I have been in the same primary British school for 16 years, teaching French to 5-11 years old as well as French for native and Spanish for 9-11 years old. I like my lessons to be varied and fun, an interesting lesson makes an interested student! I usually use various interactive activities and with tutoring, I create bespoke lessons. I have also taught adults as well as coached students for the DELF and GCSE exams.
