Our Teachers

Gabrielle

Teacher - Master FLE

Bonjour, je m'appelle Gabrielle !

I'm from the Champagne Region in the North-East of France, near Reims. I love travelling and have been able to discover Ireland, the United States, Ecuador and Hungary, before deciding on moving permanently to New Zealand. Being a French teacher unables me to share my culture and language, but also learn from my students. I'm also an avid reader, I enjoy photography as well and New Zealand offers beautiful landscapes. I can not wait to see you in class, and hear about your own passions.

A bientôt !



 

Céline

Teacher - Master FLE 

Bonjour !

I'm Céline. I come from the western part of France, right between Britanny and Bordeaux. I have taught in a few countries to all levels and all ages, before I decided it was time for me to travel. It was not planned but I fell in love with NZ ! And here I am, settled and enjoying working at  AFC, very happy to be part of this great team.
