About Me
italki teacher since Feb 26, 2020Interest topicSports & FitnessWritingArtTravelEnvironment & Nature
From Bourgogne, eastern France, to London, where I've been living for 12 years.
- Lived in Mexico for a year and a half
- Travelled to South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand
- Love being outdoors, trail running, cycling, and hiking
- 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

French for breakfast or 'French CONVERSATION lunch break', to fit in your busy schedule.
I'm on this adventure with italki both as a learner and a tutor and I love this sense of community, the same I find in martial arts so …

Sophie is a wonderful French teacher! I have very specific learning goals (training to be a court interpreter) and she has been great at teaching me the nuances of the language. I feel very grateful to have found such a fantastic teacher. Merci beaucoup Sophie !

Super teacher and super course. It’s possible to learn by leaps and bounds with Sophie and also to move slowly and carefully in learning French. She easily adapts to you needs and level.

It’s so good to get back to studying with Sophie. Her manner of interacting is gently and most effectively useful for learning and enjoying French.
