About Me
*Job Application: French Tutor & governess

A passionate 39-year-old teacher, French is my native language.
Currently in Istanbul, I am looking for a full-time French tutor / teacher position (5 to 6 days a week) with a family I will bond with and that will welcome me as one of their own.
With continuous experience in Turkey since 2021, I support children and teenagers aged 6 to 15:

✅ **Academic Support & Subjects:**

Tutoring aligned with French school curriculum (Lycée Pierre Loti, Saint-Joseph, Petit Prince), assistance in natural sciences, history / geography and introductory lessons in English and/or Arabic.

✅ **Mentorship & Extracurriculars:**

Active presence for leisure, outings, emotional support through the teenage years, and escorting to external activities (sports events, swimming and water games, concerts, cinema...)


✅ **Special Needs:

Attentive and tailored support for children with specific needs.
Holding a diploma in anesthesia and intensive care, I bring strong organizational skills, empathy, and high safety standards to my daily care.

With over 4 years of experience working with high-net-worth families and public figures, I combine absolute discretion, respect for family privacy, and polished household etiquette.

Living on-site allows me to offer a reassuring presence, continuous homework support, and natural language immersion.


While currently based in Istanbul, I am fully open to opportunities in other cities and ready to relocate outside Istanbul to fully commit to a new family project.
I am available for an online interview starting today to prepare for my return. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your family's needs!
Looking forward to hearing from you ☺️

Teacher of French as a Foreign Language and Literature – Over 25 years of experience
As a teacher of French as a Foreign Language (FLE) and French literature for over 25 years, I offer personalized courses, adapted to the needs, level and objectives of each learner, from child to adult.
My teaching experience allows me to support students in various contexts and with all French as a Foreign Language (FLE) methods and teaching materials. I easily adapt to the textbooks used by the student, their school or university curriculum, and also to their specific needs when they wish to progress in a more targeted way.
French as a Foreign Language Course
The aim of French as a Foreign Language (FLE) courses is to enable the learner to make concrete and lasting progress in the four skills:
oral comprehension
reading comprehension
oral expression
written expression.
Particular attention is paid to communication, pronunciation, vocabulary enrichment, grammar and mastery of the structures of the French language.
Each course is designed according to the student's level and objectives: refresher course, academic progress, improvement, general French, academic French, exam preparation or improvement of oral and written expression.
📖 French Literature Course
As I am also a literature teacher, I offer French literature courses at all levels.
These courses may cover the study of works, literary movements, authors and genres, but also methodology: text analysis, commentary, essay, text explanation, argumentation and exam preparation.
The objective is to develop in the student a genuine ability to understand, analyze, interpret and argue, while enriching their vocabulary and literary culture.
Preparation for the DELF and DALF exams
I have been a DELF/DALF examiner-marker for 13 years, with accreditation covering levels A1 to C2.
This experience allows me to prepare candidates by knowing precisely the expectations, evaluation criteria and requirements of the different tests.
I offer specific exam preparation:
DELF A1, A2, B1 and B2;
DALF C1 and C2;
training for written and oral exams;
exam simulations;
correction and detailed analysis of the productions;
work on recurring errors;
vocabulary enrichment and improved expression;
Tips and strategies for better managing time and the different stages of the test.
Thanks to my 13 years of experience as an examiner-marker, I can also help the candidate understand precisely what is expected during the exam and identify the points they need to improve as a priority.
My candidates' success rate: 100%.
Personalized support
My approach is based primarily on personalized, supportive, and demanding teaching. I believe that each learner has their own pace, their own difficulties, and their own objectives.
Before starting, I identify the student's needs and level in order to create a tailored support program. The lessons are then regularly adjusted according to their progress.
Whether you wish to learn French, improve your level, prepare for an exam, strengthen your oral or written expression, succeed in the DELF/DALF or deepen your knowledge of French literature, I will support you with over 25 years of teaching experience.
My goal: to enable you to progress, gain confidence in French and achieve your goals with a method adapted to your profile.
