About our core team

Shadi Abdoli ,
Founder 

Learning languages entered her life early. Not as a school subject, not as a requirement, but as a genuine fascination that started in childhood and never really left. By the time she was eighteen, she was already teaching. Not because someone handed her an opportunity, but because people around her kept asking, and she kept saying yes, and somewhere along the way it became clear that this was something she was actually good at.
That was the beginning. What followed was years of learning more languages, going deeper into how they work, and moving through an academic path that took her into technical, demanding fields far from anything that looked like a language classroom. But the teaching never stopped. And the curiosity never stopped. And French, somewhere in the middle of all of it, became the language she kept coming back to.
That is where French with Chadi came from.
