My name is Maria, and I am originally from South Korea, been in New Zealand for over 20 years.
I started learning French when I was in High School, from Year 9. French quickly became my most favourite subject and I finished high school as first in French.
My passion for French didn't cease and I continued studying French when I became a university student and I completed 3 years of French language studying to the advanced level.
I then obtained graduate diploma in French teaching from the University of Auckland. I worked as a private French tutor and I also taught at Birkenhead College as a Year 9 French teacher.
