About Me
Bonjour À Vous

My name is Thierry and I'm excited to give you a glimpse into who I am.
Originally a French Chef, I later transitioned into teaching French. I attended a prestigious culinary school in Paris for three years and went on to work at top-rated hotels and restaurants in France, Canada, and the United States.

After spending twenty years in the food service industry, I decided to further expand my knowledge by pursuing a Master of Arts in French at San Diego State University. I have been teaching French for fifteen years, catering to all levels of learners, including adults and French cinema enthusiasts.
