Bonjour !

Je m'appelle Mathilde.
I was born in south of France, came to NZ for my studies and did my Master's degree in FLE (French as a Foreign Language) in Paris before joining the Christchurch Alliance team.

When I am not at the Alliance Française, you will find me knitting, hiking or reading a book !

  

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 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 !
