Bonjour, je m’appelle Anne Cottez-Jones. I was born and raised in France, spending my childhood in Reims (Champagne region) and part of my adulthood in Paris.
I studied in Reims, France. I worked and learned English while being an au-pair in the U.S.A for 1 year.
I then went back home and worked in Public Relations requiring to be bilingual and an interpreter (French/English). I also worked in Paris in Public Relations/Advertising representing our Company in English spoken countries, translating marketing material and legal documents, etc.
I moved to the U.S seventeen years ago and I have since raised a family. I started teaching French 8 years ago to children, students, adults and also to French families moving here who’s children needed help with continuing the French Education program. Meanwhile, I continue to visit my family every year back in France.
I have developed my French class curriculum and presented it in English in order to help children and adults learn while living here as expatriates.
I also am available periodically as a French interpreter and I am an expert in French to English and English to French interpretation.
My French interpreting services can be over the phone or in person for local Chicago area businesses or families.
I continue to build my own French class curriculum for all ages, enjoy meeting new people, help them learn French and would love to help you too!
French teacher, tutor and interpreter
