About Sienna
Hello,
My name is Sienna and I recently graduated from two degrees in Education and Humanities. I'm French-Australian, and I came to study and live in France at the age of 16.
Learning a foreign language gave me the opportunity to discover another country and enrich my studies twice in my life. The first time was when I moved to the south of France to complete high school, and the second was during my international university exchange in Argentina, followed by two more years of living and studying in Spanish.
This convinced me of the power of teaching and studying foreign languages. I have since then taught students aged from 3 to 70, given more than 900 lessons, and built a personal resources library, fed over the years by what I most love about French culture and what resources best guide language learners. I feel confident guiding students from diverse backgrounds and skillsets towards their goals in French
A degree in Sciences of Education means that I have a clear, widely-read, and educated teaching philosophy, with a solid, scientific foundation backing methods.
A degree in Humanities (philosophy, literature, Latin, history) means I have a close connection to many aspects of French culture and tradition.
Alongside my French lessons, I also teach English and Spanish up to proficiency, and I aspire to become a teacher in rural or humanitarian missions. I enjoy learning new languages, reading, and traveling.

Teaching Experience :
I have taught over 50 students from different cultural, educational, and linguistic backgrounds.
My last 900 lessons have consolidated a professional and natural ease in coaching each student towards their goals and aspirations for the language.
I have always valued a communicative and practical approach, aiming for independence in real-life conversation and strong language-learning practices.
Children :
I have over 7 years of experience teaching children and have loved each one of them. My classes respect children’s developmental learning stage and welcome their strengths. We learn through songs, traditional comptines, books, games, and projects.
While working in a French primary school in my first year of study, I taught English lessons from grades 1-6.
The challenge of teaching young children remotely and in big class groups encouraged me to become playfully innovative in order to capture my students' attention and interest.
I guarantee that no part of our communication (messages feedback, texts to study) or class material will be AI generated or consulted.
My approach and philosophy :
I believe the role of a teacher is one of guidance and motivation, with an ethical engagement of dedication and responsibility. I take on the responsibility to each of my students to accompany their learning, through times of focus and discipline just as much as through those of doubt and confusion, of low motivation and high pressure. I do so through personalized and rich cultural resources, mindset coaching, and a strong teacher-student relationship built on trust.
By providing both high support and high expectations, I respect each student, fully believing in their potential. My lessons are always prepared, deeply personalized, and engaging.
A few questions you could ask me during our trial lesson :
️Where is your village in France?
How was it to leave home at 16?
️ What does a 32-day backpacking trip in Patagonia look like?
What differences have I found between the French and Australian education system?
What do you like to talk about with your grandparents?
🪂 Learning with me means discovering fascinating horizons. I am reliable, supportive, and fully invested in your language learning journey. Together, we'll explore languages and cultures through interesting conversations, relevant literature, and funny anecdotes. I'm here to support and guide you as a language learning coach, making every lesson engaging and encouraging. Ready for the adventure?
