Hi! I’m Julie Bastien, French teacher in the Finer English team since September 2010. I’m from Quebec in Canada and have lived in Germany since November 2004.

I worked as an interior designer in Canada for over 10 years and parallel to that took courses in psychology and administration (with a focus on marketing and finance). Before coming to Germany I started to look for a new career direction. I was interested in art history and languages. So I decided to study German and art history at the University of Quebec in Montreal.

On my arrival in Germany, I made use of the opportunity I was offered and fulfilled one of my dreams: to teach French.

At Finer English I really appreciate the professionalism and the support they offer. It’s great to share ideas with other colleagues and to learn from their experiences. I really enjoy teaching French: it’s great to give others an understanding of my native language and culture.
