Emma NAMBA
English Teacher / Director
Hello, my name is Emma, I am the founder and director of Gleeschool.
I lived in the US for 12 years where I taught in several international schools in San Francisco and the Bay Area. I created Gleeschool 10 years ago, first for my children, then for my children's friends, then ... the word-of-mouth did the rest.
I believe learning can be engaging and challenging , academic and fun, project-oriented and innovative
I believe teaching English can help children & adults alike to connect with the rest of the world

Pauline Momon
English Teacher
Hi, I'm Pauline! I'm a French native speaker who works as a French and English as a foreign language teacher. I graduated from university Paris Descartes in 2017. I have been teaching English at Gleeschool since 2020. I lived in New Zealand for a while where I worked for a bilingual school. Before my master's degree in French as a foreign language (Master Didactique des Langues), I studied translation and interpretation for 4 years at ISIT.
I love teaching, it's a real vocation. I like a relaxed atmosphere in my classroom and I also tend to think that a positive teaching is the key to successful students! Children in my class will learn while having fun.

Hi, my name is Andrea,
I'm from Canada and I have been teaching English in France to children and adults for over 15 years. My favourite way of teaching is through a fun and creative communicative approach that helps bring the English language into our everyday lives. Learning should be a positive experience for all!

Aleksandrina LEBEDEVA
English Teacher
Hi, I'm Alex!
My journey with languages has taken me across the globe — from Yakutia in north-eastern Russia, to South Korea, China, and France. With over 15 years of teaching experience, I hold degrees in Linguistics (English/Korean) and Preschool Education, as well as a Master’s degree in Environmental Law in France.
Today, my work spans two worlds I’m deeply passionate about: teaching Legal English at the university level and introducing young learners to English. With children, I believe learning happens best through play, so every lesson is filled with interactive games, music, and hands-on activities. Watching my students build confidence, speak freely, and show up excited to learn is the most rewarding part of what I do.
In addition to group lessons, I also offer private classes if parents are looking for extra tailored support.
