Let’s get to know each other
Dounia, an entrepreneur, French teacher, and unshakable optimist, created French Pass in 2015 in Singapore.
Dounia means “the world” in some countries and I think I wear this name well.
I landed in Singapore in 2014, a vibrant and enterprising city, in my early 30’s from Canada (the country where I met my partner during a break trip from Switzerland).
After a few weeks, I knew it was the place where I could achieve my dream of becoming an entrepreneur. PASSionate about the French language and culture, I wanted to share that love. So, I jumped ahead and in June 2015 French PASS was born.
My mission is to put a smile on faces, a little French in mind and to help people develop their language skills and understanding of French culture in a fun and friendly environment.
Voilà! After 7 years of providing French Mother Tongue classes in International Schools, private as well as exam preparation lessons, I’m excited to move forward with Le Lab by French PASS ( 2022). Le Lab is a new studio for group French classes located in the heart of Singapore, at Pearl Hill’s Terrace.
With a team of native-French teachers, we are proud to have created a dynamic community of Francophiles across Singapore.
