Foreign Language Teaching Assistant | French

My name is Timothée and I am from one of the most beautiful cities on the planet : Paris. I graduated high school in international relations and geopolitics, I then majored in language, literature, civilization and culture of the English-speaking world with an education sciences minor. I worked as an ambassador for Sorbonne Nouvelle University in the European organisation YUFE (Young Universities for the Future of Europe) before deciding to embark on this fantastic trans-Atlantic journey !

I am excited to be a part of this experience and grow alongside you all, the Pacific students. 
My favorite French subjects to teach students are French-speaking pop culture, literature, poetry, folklore, insular culture and last but not least, pronunciation. What I like the most about French is the diversity within the various countries and cultures that speak it.

My goal for this academic year is to help you find a piece of yourself that you can relate to French ! However, outside of class, I love the outdoors, cats,
poetry, music, museums and art galeries. I also enjoy the occasional cheesy holiday movie but only the American ones !

Here's how to get to know me in 3 artforms :
My top 3 books are : The Waves by Virginia Woolf, White Noise by Don DeLillo and Venus by Suzan-Lori Parks. 
My top 3 movies are : Twilight, Chicago and Jawbreakers. 
I'll finish with my top 3 artists : Ethel Cain, Aya Nakamura and Ariana Grande.

Don't hesitate to share your top 3s when we'll meet on campus (in French though !) or you can reach out to me on social media or via email if you have any questions ! Je ne mords pas ! 

See you ! À la prochaine :)
