Tisdallish.
About Diane:
I am a newly minted English teacher living in Clermont-Ferrand. I completed my CertTESOL in 2020 at the ELT Hub in Brittany and have set up my own business with the cooperative Appuy Créateurs. Three threads weave their way through my career – education, music and France. I trained as a violinist, combining a teaching and performing career before an interest in violin pedagogy led me to the Paris Conservatoire archives and a PhD in musicology at King’s College London. When a research post came up in Clermont-Ferrand I jumped at the chance! And when it finished, I wanted to stay in France. As a teacher and performer, my interest lies in authentic, clear and engaging communication. I believe that when we exchange new ideas and unpack them together, not only do we grow as individuals but we empower and enrich each other, building a stronger and more outward-looking community. My roots are Anglo-Welsh; I have worked and studied in Australia, Europe and North America.
Registrants will be sent the link the evening before the get-together (Thursday evening).
