Back in France in 2013, she taught English in high school and gave private lessons for adults and children. When a notorious chain company recruited her in 2017, Sylvie decided to start her own business, Excellang.

Empowered by her excellent knowledge of French and English educational systems, Sylvie has developed her own modern and entertaining teaching methodology.

Passionate, conscientious and professional, Sylvie places at the heart of her approach the listening and the confidence in order to allow you to feel comfortable and to reach your objectives.
