I was born and raised in Mauritius and am a native French speaker. Before moving to Australia, I was an international Cabin Crew with Air Mauritius.  This provided me with the opportunity to travel the world as well as discover different cultures and languages.  I hold a Diploma in Tourism.

I am delighted to be offering French, Italian, Mandarin, German and Spanish for kids clubs in Perth. I believe that learning a second language from a very young age helps to broaden children’s little minds as well as instil confidence and creativity.  Learning a language is such an enriching experience providing children with a feeling of accomplishment, great literacy development as well as developing future opportunities.  I have 2 children of my own and I’m raising them to be bilingual.

Sarah has a BA Hons in French & German, and has lived, studied & worked in UK, France, Germany & India.  She is passionate about the joys of language learning and discovering other cultures and is delighted to be offering children in Perth this opportunity through play-based, multi-lingual fun with LCF Fun Language Clubs in French, German, Italian, Spanish & Mandarin.

A mother of 2 young children, Sarah has worked in varied multi-lingual roles including Recruitment Consultant, Translation Manager, Tourism, as English Tutor to French children, and she has also provided software training courses and workshops to adults.  Her love of languages was sparked early on after appearing in a primary school French theatre show and she has fond memories of buying the morning bread at the boulangerie while on family holidays in France as a young child.  She is keen to inspire the same interest and passion for other languages and cultures in children and believes that learning another language from a young age allows children to develop their creativity, self-esteem, and open-mindedness and is especially important in our “global village.”

sandra.peachey@lcfclubs.com.au

I was born and raised in France, in Brittany. I have always been passionate about languages and cultures. I learnt English, Spanish and German at school and after my studies in tourism I moved to London in the UK. I became an international cabin crew for British Airways. This was the perfect fulfilment to satisfy my passion for travel and the discovery of many different cultures and people.

My Australian husband and I moved to Australia 3 years ago. We have a little boy who is 2 years old. Last year I did a course in supporting children’s learning and prepared an assignment on “the Benefits of learning a second language at a young age”. I believe it is such a great asset for the children. It's wonderful for me to be able to share my cultural background and love of languages with them in a fun environment.

I now feel very proud to be part of the LCF Team and bring our experience and great methodology to Newcastle and Port-Stephens.
