A New England native with a French father and American mother, Nina studied French at the University of Maine, then moved to Southwestern France to further her education at the University of Toulouse. While living in France she fell in love with the language and culture and began sharing her passion with students upon settling in Portland, Maine in 2009. She is currently teaching at Southern Maine Community College. Nina has 15 years of experience as a French teacher, one-on-one tutor and immersion tour leader. She believes that expressing oneself in a new language opens up doors to whole new worlds and possibilities.
