I love exploring the world around me—whether foraging for myrtilles, mushrooms, or flowers. Creating brings me joy, from baking pies and roasting chestnuts to painting and knitting.
When I moved to France, I realized my passions were the key to learning the language. Talking about finding a fig tree, baking with foraged ingredients, or hiking in the mountains helped me express what I loved most—in French.
That’s the experience I want to share with you: we’ll create art, explore nature, and learn to speak about them together—in English!
In the United States, I worked as a Kinesiology Professor at the University of Utah for nine years. During this time—and continuing until my relocation to France—I delivered wellness presentations, facilitated discussions on various wellness topics, and contributed broadly to the field of education.
In the five years prior to moving to France, I also taught monthly art lessons in my children’s school classrooms, an experience that brought me tremendous joy.
I founded Exploration Anglais because I am passionate about sharing in the creative process and inspiring others through art. I know that we will have a lot to talk about together!
Class Structure
01. Weekly vocabulary lists to increase lesson and story comprehension will be distributed in advance of each class.
02. Weekly art history and art technique lessons given in English. We may watch or read stories together to learn more about artists or our art subjects
03. Weekly art projects will be collected to create a portfolio of artwork!
04. Explore together. It is through the exploration of nature, art, story that we will explore the English language. It is through our passions that we find the need to express ourselves fully.
Each session will be inspired by nature, famous artists, and delightful stories. Together, we’ll explore the world around us, express ourselves through art, and discover the English language in a fun and meaningful way. By the end of each course or stage, every student will have a special portfolio of artwork to proudly share with their family.
