About me
Hello! My name is Virginie Salvan.
After teaching English for more than 20 years, I decided to give my career a new direction by creating my own coaching business (in languages). Passionate about Anglo-Saxon culture and human connection, I have always been committed to building bridges between people and cultures.
Through enriching encounters and real-life experiences with English speakers who had settled in my region, I became aware of the challenges they were facing: administrative procedures, language barriers, integration into local life.
That is why I chose to specialise in supporting the integration of English speakers either living or planning to live in France.
My goal is simple: to make your settlement easier and help you find your place in France, by combining French lessons, administrative support, and cultural discovery.
Moving to France should be exciting, not overwhelming. I will make your journey easier and more enjoyable !

Merci, Virginie, pour ta bienveillance et ton écoute. Ton accompagnement a été porteur de sens et de résultats. Au début du coaching, je faisais face à des difficultés en communication, notamment lors de prises de parole en public, et je souhaitais développer mon leadership. Grâce à tes conseils et ton coaching, j'ai pu surmonter mes peurs et acquérir de nouvelles compétences dans ce domaine. Merci encore pour tout. Je recommande!

Tu sais que ce coaching m’a beaucoup fait de bien, tu as su faire ressortir les valeurs, je n’avais pas conscience de tout cela. Tu as les mots justes, la bonne analyse et une façon d’apporter les choses toujours en bienveillance
