Born and raised in France in a bilingual environment, I quickly realised the potential languages offer you to communicate and discover the world.
I learnt English, Spanish and Portuguese, became an accredited multi-lingual tour guide and graduated with Alliance Française as a French teacher.
I am also ("aussi" in French) Aussie -Officially since my citizenship ceremony in March 2020 !
I have been teaching French in Europe and Australia for over 10 years, and over that time I have developed well-prepared, stimulating, challenging and rewarding lessons. My students value my professionalism, my methods and my overall approach to French teaching. I use a range of resources and techniques to keep all students engaged and motivated.
The 11 days immersion experience in the Basque country went beyond my expectations ! Beautiful scenery, rich history and architecture. The food was incredible: I will do it all over again but I will stay longer.

Maite maintains positive relationship with all the children and engages them through props, songs, games and activities. Maite is very enthusiastic and the children always thoroughly enjoy her time with us every week.

Maite has helped my daughter throughout year 11 and 12 with her French and Extension French subjects. She has been a major support with both the written and oral aspects of the curriculum, helping my daughter maintain her passion and high marks for French during the HSC.
