I was born and raised in Mauritius and am a native French speaker. Before moving to Australia, I was an international Cabin Crew with Air Mauritius.  This provided me with the opportunity to travel the world as well as discover different cultures and languages.  I hold a Diploma in Tourism.

I am delighted to be offering French, Italian, Mandarin, German and Spanish for kids clubs in Perth. I believe that learning a second language from a very young age helps to broaden children’s little minds as well as instil confidence and creativity.  Learning a language is such an enriching experience providing children with a feeling of accomplishment, great literacy development as well as developing future opportunities.  I have 2 children of my own and I’m raising them to be bilingual.
