Agathe Capron
Teacher (intern)
Adèle has taught at Alliance française since 1997. She is an independent educator. She has worked for a number of years at all levels of language training in the public and private sectors, including creation, roll-out, coordination, and evaluation of training programs. The aspect she finds most satisfying is working directly with students, for whom she creates interactive and relevant activities that focus on students’ needs in the real world. She is tirelessly committed to her work. She speaks French, English, and Spanish.
Agathe joins uf for the Fall session
With a business background and a passion for Language Arts, Messan is involved in numerous cultural and educational activities with the goal of promoting the French language. It's this same passion which has led him to the Alliance Française, where he's been an administrative assistant since 2016. In his spare time, he reads, and participates in cultural and sporting activities.
Aymeric has just joined our team in time for the fall session!
Arriving October 1st.
Germain hails from the Democratic Republic of Congo. As a specialist in French, he taught from 2007 to 2015 at the Franco-Namibian Cultural Centre in Windhoek, where he dealt with a wide variety of students, notably civil servants and diplomats. He joined the Alliance in 2015, having arrived in Manitoba with his wife and three children. He took advantage of his first winter here to become our resident curling expert.
I'm a joyful and dynamic French girl from Lyons!
After obtaining her Master’s in French as a Foreign Language in 2001, Julie decided to start her career by working abroad, and so spent a year in Maastricht (Netherlands) as a French Language Assistant in a primary school. Then, she worked in a language centre in Dijon, France for seven years, teaching French to employees of foreign companies based in Burgundy. She arrived in Winnipeg in June, 2008 (with her cat) to join the Alliance team. As Teaching Coordinator, Julie handles requests for private courses and distance learning, among other duties. Born in Troyes (Champagne, France), Julie has many passions: cooking, creative pastimes; her “heart will go on” for a certain well-known Canadian chanteuse…
Anatol is an avid student with diverse interests. While he holds a Bachelor of Jazz Studies, he is currently pursuing a degree in Physics and Computer Science, in the hope of combining his passions. He first learned about Alliance française when his parents were taking classes there, and eventually got the chance to join the administrative team in 2013. Among other things, he contributes to website and graphic redesign for the Alliance. In his spare time, he listens to and composes jazz, gets a little too involved in politics, and goes in search of colourful bowties.
David joined the Alliance team in 2006 as an Administrative Assistant. He had previously worked in administration within the Francophone community of British-Columbia (his home province) --, as volunteer and occasional employee. Since coming to Manitoba, he has married a Prairie Francophone, is involved in his community, and is raising three little Manitobans.
