Anne Philibert
A native of Lyon, France (the capital of gastronomy!), I am a sociologist and French teacher with a PhD in sociology. I bring a perspective to language teaching where I like to explore cultural dynamics. I take great pleasure in offering private classes, as they allow me to tailor each lesson to the individual needs, interests, and goals of my students. This personalized approach enables me to create a supportive environment where students feel confident, engaged, and empowered to reach their full potential in french. Outside of teaching, I love cooking, hiking, and sharing the richness of french culture with others.
