Ski Instructor – Tignes and Val d’Isère

My Story

Born and raised in Brittany, I was probably 3 years old when i first skied.

I started teaching in 2004 after graduating from university (sports teaching and training), french certification in 2011. I’ve worked in many different places: France: Val Thorens, Tignes, Val d’Isère and the USA: Vail and Beaver Creek.

Tignes/Val d’Isère is the best place to ski and teach. When not on the mountain, I taught sailing and watersports, I’m now starting a business in buildings inspection.

I like off piste and backcountry skiing and snowboarding, I love spending time on piste too. Although I taught snowboarding extensively, I can teach any level of ski and snowboarding off-piste and on-piste. I can do introductions to freestyle. I specialise with adults, but I’m happy to teach kids from 8 and older every now and then.

I’m very patient and a good listener. I like to build a true relationship with the people I work with.
