Who’s this guy?

I'm a French-Australian writer, educator and sinophile. Strasbourg-born, Paris-educated, Italian-blooded, Melbourne-based and Asia-loving.

I can teach you French, help you with language learning strategies, or strengthen your cross-cultural and cross-linguistic capacity - check out this page to learn more about my teaching.

We might also collaborate on a range of creative or Asia-related projects. If you've got something in mind, send me a line at julien.leyre@hotmail.fr, and let's see what we can do together.

And if you care about these things - here's a link to my linked in profile, with a list of my past positions, involvements and academic achievements.
