I am a graduate in MFL and American studies, specialised in modernist arts. I love foreign languages and enjoy learning from others. I
believe a comprehensive approach to teaching languages is important in order to share with students the importance and the intellectual,
cultural and cognitive value of language learning, a belief that is reflected in my translation, creative writing and even exam preparation
classes. I am also a published translator of art books.
