Emmanuelle Missios is a French native speaker who has been teaching French as a Foreign Language for the past 7 years. Before moving to Australia, Emmanuelle taught French in Scotland and France and also worked as a chef. Her passion for food is something she loves to share with her students as part of their French studies. Generally these French cooking sessions can be arranged as a fun end of term activity.
Her academic qualifications include Masters Degrees in Teaching French as a Foreign Language and French Literature and has completed specialist studies in Computer Assisted Language Learning. She is also a Victorian Government accredited trainer.
In addition to teaching the French language, Emmanuelle places great emphasis on the study of French culture through its food, art and literature.
Customer Feedback
I had the pleasure of having Emmanuelle as my instructor in French for four weeks in December 2001, just prior to my transfer to Paris. I received fairly intensive training for 2 hours per day 4 times per week. I particularly enjoyed the lessons with Emmanuelle. She made them interesting, engaged in frequent conversational French and explained things in a pedagogic and clear manner. I though that the ground we covered in a short period of time was surprising. I had not expected to learn so much.

I recently attended French for Travellers course. I would like to commend the tutor Emmanuelle Missios. Although I had absolutely no French language experience before the course and found the content challenging, Emmanuelle's handouts, homework and CD helped me to revise with confidence.
I particularly valued having a native French speaking tutor and the inclusion of cultural content and useful travel tips. Using the practical 'Lonely Planet' text will help me to link the course learning to my travel experience in a useful way.

Dear Emmanuelle,
Thank you for the energy, fun and education you have put into teaching me over the past months. As one with poor language skills I was daunted by the prospect of learning a language in a class environment but I have really enjoyed it. Best wishes... Neil C, 12.12.02
