Teachers

Mr. Gabin BEBLAI

My name is Beblai Gabin, and I am from Côte d’Ivoire, a French-speaking country in West  Africa. I am a passionate French teacher with over 6 years of experience in language education. I currently teach French at Ghiyasuddin International School (GIS) and part time at the Alliance Française de Malé. 

I believe that learning a language is much more than learning grammar and vocabulary. It is a gateway to discovering new cultures, meeting people, understanding different perspectives, and exploring the world. Coming from a Francophone country myself, I enjoy sharing the richness and diversity of French-speaking cultures with my students.

Through my teaching, I aim to create an engaging and supportive environment where learners can build confidence, communicate naturally, and develop a genuine appreciation for the French language and the many cultures connected to it.

Ms. Constance DUCRET

My name is Constance, and I am a 27-year-old French teacher in Male. Due to my father’s job we had to move frequently and I spent many of my young years in Africa. This kind of life has made me want to live in foreign countries for as long as I can remember. Being a teacher became another wish of mine after thinking about it for a long time while doing medical studies. So after switching to the education field, I started feeling more and more fulfilled as I realized that I could make a change into people’s lives while always learning about them, their culture and their country. I know I have now found my way as a teacher as there is nothing more rewarding for me than sharing my language and a part of my culture with other people. The world is wide and there is no time to waste: go discover and learn more from languages, cultures, and people. So why not start to learn French here with us?

Mr. Armel YAPI

My name is Armel and I am a part time French as a foreign language (FLE) at AF. I am passionate about the art of teaching. For me, teaching is much more than just a profession; it’s an opportunity to impact society by sharing the richness of the French language and Francophone cultures. With a deep interest in gastronomy and culture, I bring a unique touch to my teaching, integrating engaging and playful activities to make learning French lively and fun. My dedication and passion make me an inspiring teacher who fosters a love of the French language and culture in his learners.
