To offer every child access to the French language and culture, Vero's French classes on the Road propose personalized lessons to students tailored to their needs, age, taste and skills.

La construction intellectuelle de vos enfants est notre priorité.

Pour permettre à chaque enfant d'accéder en douceur à la langue et la culture francophones, l'école itinérante de Véro propose des cours personnalisés en fonction de l'âge, des besoins, des goûts et du niveau de chacun.


Our Goal

Taught in a positive education environment, our courses have an impact that goes well beyond the scope of the lessons. By acquiring the right methodology and knowledge, children increase self-confidence and progress significantly in their school curriculum.

We are here to contribute to their personal development and help them prepare their future.

Notre objectif

Live Museum with Historial de Vendée

Last Saturday, I was very pleased to welcome historial de Vendée for a conference entirely dedicated to the War in the Vendée from 1793 to 1796, this conflict should be related to the American War of Independence as well as the revolutionary context of the time. To discuss this topic, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Mr. François Sicard, director of the historial, and Mr. Arnaud Scullier, who devoted his thesis to this subject, among others.

Dear Redears,

I am very proud to be part of the second edition of this poetry contest once again. Last year, my 6th-grade literature students had their poems published, along with all the participants, in the wonderful edition presented below, thanks to the French Heritage Society and the French American Cultural Society.

Chers lecteurs, 

Très fière de faire partie à nouveau de cette seconde édition de ce concours de poésie.

Live Museum

click here

My company offers two exceptional programs : Live Museum cultural and Live Museum educational. Live museum cultural is originally a humanist project, a cultural bridge between France and US. The goal is to open the collections and french heritage, do a live with non profit associations and make culture accessible to as many people as possible.

The second program titled "Live Museum educational" is a bilingual French - English program whose purpose is to directly bring live in strict relation to official school programs. De facto, heritage becomes alive. It is an exceptional immersive dive. Students interact with the specialist guide and ask the questions they want. The students come back home, having seen artifacts, with a mini pedagogical document.

I therefore combine technology with the human relationship essential for the development of all.


Testimonials

Welcome to the roman period

From conference to experimentation, there is only one step. Living our heritage also means having the opportunity to rediscover ancestral know-how.

Adults and children have the opportunity to participate to this workshop.

The children testify

I received a lot of witnesses … !

Thank to all children for your passionate investment during this conferences, you’re just amazing.


Live Morning Museum

November, 18th 2023

Une des participantes, Nancy Hardyck, de Mountain View nous confirme avoir beaucoup apprécié la présentation et avoir été heureuse d’y avoir assisté : “ne sachant pas à quoi m’attendre, j’ai été époustouflée par la force de la coopération pour présenter un programme aussi excellent et informatif, en direct via Zoom, de la France à la Californie. « Un Matin au Musée Français » était intéressant et a dépassé toutes mes attentes. Le groupe de l’Alliance a fait un travail magistral et j’attends avec impatience les prochaines sessions. Une matinée très éducative et amusante ! ”Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Vers un avenir connecté

L’engouement pour cette visite virtuelle n’est qu’un début. La créatrice de ces visites virtuelles, Véronique Vassout et Catherine Plottier, organisatrice événementielle de l’Alliance Française, envisagent déjà de réitérer l’expérience avec d’autres régions viticoles françaises, prouvant que la soif de connaissances et le désir de partage ne connaissent pas de limites. Le Musée du Vin et du Négoce de Bordeaux, de son côté, se dit prêt à accueillir de nouvelles vagues de visiteurs virtuels, désireux de découvrir les subtilités des vins français.

“L’événement a été un franc succès, et l’on peut s’attendre à ce que de telles initiatives se multiplient, réduisant la distance entre les amateurs de vin du monde entier et les trésors œnologiques de la France. L’Alliance Française Silicon Valley a, sans doute, tracé la voie vers une nouvelle ère de l’œnotourisme. Une ère où la technologie est au service du patrimoine et où la curiosité est récompensée par des connaissances et des expériences inoubliables. La bouteille est ouverte, à nous maintenant de la savourer pleinement.”

Poetry contest with French Consulate, French Heritage society and my students.

October, 2023.

My students had the honour of winning an award of excellence. This competition concerned half the United States and the school of Wallis and Futuna.

Thank you again to all my students for their creativity and who make my days great moments of happiness to teach.

Photograph in presence of Monsieur Frédéric Jung, Consul General of San Francisco surrounded by myself and my students.

Véronique is a very dedicated teacher who takes her students’ progress at heart. She teaches two of my kids and has helped improve not only their French but also their English. They are learning to analyze a text, extract the main ideas quickly and correctly structure an essay depending on what is asked of them. My son is taking AP language and composition and she has helped him improve his understanding of the books he had to study. She is flexible and tailors the class to the student’s needs. She plays a key role in my children’s intellectual development and I am convinced that her teaching not only helps them now in their student life but will also help them throughout their adult life.
— Mandane
“Véronique a tout de suite pris une place importante pour notre fille de 3 ans. Arrivés récemment de France, nous la sentions perdue dans son nouvel environnement.
Grâce à Véronique, notre fille a pris confiance en elle et s’épanouit désormais dans sa preschool.
Ses apprentissages “à la francaise”, notamment sur les bases de l’écriture et des mathématiques, sont tout à fait complémentaires des méthodes américaines.
Les cours que Véronique dispense sont adaptés, ludiques et enseignés avec une grande douceur et une infinie patience.”
— VANESSA ET DAVID


"Veronique has been teaching French to our four year old for almost year. She started tutoring Ethan, our son, at a time when needed to get to his age appropriate academic level to standard. In addition to this, Ethan was struggling with his communications skills. Veronique has been instrumental in getting our son back on track in math, communication and comprehension skills, and he now even excels at his preschool. Veronique's method of teaching is very engaging for small kids like ours - she is funny yet structured and you can truly tell that she has a passion for teaching and loves seeing kids progressing. As a parent, we are very thankful to have found someone who was able to adapt to our son's needs ans allow him to grow"
