Najib BEN LAJNEF
French Teacher
Vienna
Summary
Master's-qualified instructor specialized in teaching French as a foreign language. Motivated by a profound passion for cultural discovery, I transitioned to French language instruction after an established career in the medical insurance sector. Having recently relocated to Vienna following a rewarding period in London, I am eager to contribute my extensive teaching expertise to your institution. I look forward to designing engaging lessons that help your students develop and refine their French language skills while deepening their appreciation of Francophone culture.
