Teacher

Khadidja was born in Algeria and grew up in France, where she spent 18 years living in Paris before moving to New York in 2024. She studied communication and media at university and worked for many years in the creative industries. Outside the classroom, Khadidja loves exploring the city — especially through its food scene — and is always on the lookout for a new spot to try. When she’s not hunting for the best coffee or pastries in town, she enjoys traveling, people-watching, and soaking up New York’s energy.
