ABOUT
Mademoiselle Saïda Goutel

I come from the beautiful town of Troyes located in the region of Champagne-Ardenne (Grand Est Region in France). Troyes is graced with one of France's finest achievements in art and architecture from the medieval to the 20th century.
I worked as a tour-guide for more than 10 years on behalf of the Tourist boards of Troyes and Reims. It was my greatest and endless pleasure to open people's eyes and heart to the artistic and historic treasures of my region.


My career took a totally new direction when I moved to England in year 2000. I first started as a French assistant in secondary schools before training to become a fully qualified teacher specialising in French and Spanish.

A few years later I put on hold my teaching career to work as a freelance speaker giving talks on French culture and organising short-breaks to the Champagne region. I’ve since returned to teaching French via my private tuition classes.

In setting up Fall4French, I am finally giving voice to my true vocation: to give an uplifting cultural and language experience through my talks and social gatherings - Talks can be held in French and English and hosted every month in various venues either at learners' home, schools or restaurants and private guest houses as well as hotels, hoping it will be "un plaisir partagé". 
 
In 2017 I also qualified as a practitioner of Mindfulness and Reiki in 2020. I then specialised in the theme of Smile combined with break work and mindfulness as a liberating tool and  unfathomable source of inner joy and knowledge of oneself.
