Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

My name is Maia Mchedlishvili, I am Franco-Georgian and I live in a small village near Lille, in the North of France. I am PACSed and have a 3-year-old daughter.

I have been in France since 2006 and worked for almost 16 years in an event company, initially as an interpreter-translator and later, until the end, as head of the international department in relation to Eastern European countries. I speak Georgian, French, and Russian.

After becoming a mother in 2021, the day after my 44th birthday, I felt the need to spread my wings and gain independence that would allow me to balance my professional and personal life.

I created my translation company in January 2023, and this company has been a way for me to fully realize myself while being present for my daughter. Currently, I work in the legal field, with the courts of the North, and also in the socio-medical field, in person or remotely by phone, and I work with a Georgian-speaking and Russian-speaking audience.

Today, I feel the desire to teach again. Moreover, I already have some experience with a Georgian-speaking audience.

After following my heart, I took a new step by successfully passing my French as a Foreign Language (FLE) trainer certification!

This adventure, filled with passion and dedication, marks a return to my roots and a new professional beginning for me.

Lille, France
Trainer and pedagogical manager at Polylangues Lille, I design and lead French as a Foreign Language (FLE) training courses adapted to the needs of international learners. I work with adults, students, or professionals wishing to improve their French quickly for social, professional, or administrative integration.

My role includes pedagogical design, leading dynamic and interactive classes, and providing personalized support to learners. As pedagogical manager, I oversee the quality of content, develop tailor-made programs, and ensure the pedagogical follow-up of groups and trainers.

Specializing in preparation for official French tests (TEF, TCF, DELF, DALF), I make it a point of honor to offer structured, motivating, and results-oriented methods. Thanks to my multicultural experience of over 20 years and my background in international events, I place human interaction and intercultural communication at the heart of my teaching.
