Stella came to London in 1989 and began work at L’École des Petits. She was tasked with teaching children with no knowledge of French, which led her to develop her own techniques to help them learn.

When she realised there were no French language lessons for pre-schoolers in London, she decided to create her own.

Club Petit Pierrot has now been enjoyed by thousands of children across the capital. Over the years the lessons have evolved and become more innovative, but the principles remain the same.

Stella takes pride in training her dedicated team of teachers. For her anyone joining the team must be creative, charismatic and passionate about teaching the French language and culture. And, it goes without saying but they must love working with children!

Stella has written and recorded songs and rhymes to learn French.
