About Me

From Bourgogne, eastern France, now living near Lyon:
- Lived in London for 13 years
- Lived in Mexico for a year and a half
- Travelled to South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand

- I've been practicing Kung Fu and Tai Chi for 4 years, which has prompted me to travel to China and learn Mandarin
- I love writing, mainly poetry, in French, English, and Spanish.
Grâce à mes voyages, mon métier, mes centres d'intérêt et les arts martiaux, je rencontre des personnes merveilleuses qui ont une langue maternelle, une culture différente et c'est tellement enrichissant de pouvoir partager tout ça !Me as a Teacher

Sophie is a wonderful teacher with an easy smile and patient correction of my errors. I have learned a great deal and look forward to learning a great deal more. We have worked together for several years and I will no doubt continue. Thanks.
