ABOUT THE TEACHER : 

I hold a Bachelor Degree in English as a Foreign Language, and a 
Masters Degree of Education in English and French. It is my eighth 
year at the PENDLETON SCHOOL. 
I started teaching in 1975 ( some of  my students were my age at the 
time !!! ), and I have never stopped since then, except for two 
years spent with my husband at the French Embassy in Bogota, 
Colombia in 1999.

In 2001, we moved to the Bollettieri Tennis Academy to give our 
younger son,Fabrice, the opportunity to fulfill his dream of 
becoming a tennis "pro". He is now twenty-one, and he made the 
decision of joining the "pros' world "  instead of going to 
University. 

It has always been my vocation to teach, and it is all the more so 
at the Pendleton School since I am really dedicated to helping YOU, 
my students, to achieve both your athletic and academic goals. 
Being the mother of an athlete, I am aware of your needs and of the 
obstacles you have to surmount. 

Let us believe in our dreams, always !
