Teaching

Block Image

As an adjunct professor in the hospitality department of New York City College of Technology and for higher learning institutions in Paris, as well as a certified former culinary instructor in the French national apprentice system, I offer more than 25 years of experience in teaching. All of my exciting course content is designed to engage and enthuse students of all ages!

If students aren’t having fun, they’re not learning. So my goal, with a very specific set of skills, is to break down the walls of the traditional classroom. Adept at instruction in both English and in French, my range of students is international. My courses (see below for examples) combine academics with practical skills that are useful for all learners in the Food & Beverage and restaurant industry.

Consultancy missions include course content, program development, and syllabus creation.
