Welcome to Brittany at Christine's!
Hello, I am Christine, bilingual in French and English. I have been teaching English at high school, university, and preparatory classes for many years. Passionate about travel and cooking, I went to New Zealand with my family and opened a Breton creperie! Upon returning to France, I organized numerous exchanges in the USA and UK, as well as trips to South Africa. Now, I want to share my passion for teaching and intercultural experiences with you through immersive stays. I also offer intensive courses tailored to the needs of students and business people, which we will define together. I welcome high school students starting from the age of 16.
A typical day:
The day starts around 9 am with a hearty breakfast, either English or continental.
I then offer an English lesson from 11 am to noon or more upon request (1 hour of class per day included in the price of the stay, so 5 hours per week).
We will prepare the meal together. In the afternoon, activities can include hiking on the coastal trail, bike rides, visits to small Breton towns like Pont Aven, Concarneau, Quimper, etc. We can also go to the sea and swim.
In the evening, we will prepare the meal together and sometimes share it with my bilingual children or English-speaking friends, followed by games and movies in their original version.
Mon fils, François (16 ans), a passé une semaine formidable chez Christine : excellent accueil, très bonnes conditions de travail. Christine est une très bonne professeure, très pédagogue. François a trouvé qu'il avait plus appris en 1 semaine qu'en 1 an. Il ne demande qu'à revenir ! Si c'est possible !
Super occasion de renouer avec la langue et de délier les langues autout d'une table, dans la cuisine ou au marché, et en marchant...Bonne ambiance et convivialité au rendez-vous. Merci Christine pour tes mises à jour, tes corrections toujours bienveillantes et nécessaires pour progresser, et aussi tes astuces et ton art de simplifier avec humour et pas que "so british". Thanks a lot ! Isabelle
This was my first experience of a language immersion course but any concerns that I may have had were quickly dispelled on meeting Christine. I received a warm welcome and was made to feel very comfortable in her lovely home. My requirements for the language course were discussed and Christine's flexible approach enabled the course to be tailored to meet my needs. The course not only provided me with an excellent environment in which to improve my language skills but also an opportunity to discover Le Bretagne for the first time with sightseeing trips, coastal walks and the savoring of the culinary delights of the region. The 'Cooking with Words' course as a whole has much to offer, in particular for me, a solo female, it was comfortable and reassuring to be in Christine's company and I very much appreciated her kindness, her ability to make me feel very much at home during my stay and her lovely sense of humor, not least her dedication to her teaching profession and her pride in her Breton heritage.
