Teacher

Aude, born in Melun, France, holds a BA in International Relations with a minor in foreign languages and a DAEFLE certification for teaching French. Following an internship at the French Embassy in Tokyo, she worked for Chanel and Prada, where her Japanese skills came in handy.

She met her future husband at her best friend’s wedding, and they decided to try life in NYC in 2000. They loved it so much they never left.

A passionate language teacher with over 10 years of experience, Aude brings energy to her classes with games and music, viewing language as a bridge to other cultures.

Fun fact: She never says no to a glass of Champagne – especially rosé!
