When I was fifteen, sixteen, when I really started to learn English,
I definitely wanted to become a teacher.
It was almost impossible because the dream was so big.
I didn’t see any chance because I was living in a little town; I was studying.
And when I finally broke away from school to go to Rennes 2,
I thought, “Well, now I may have a little bit of a chance,”
Because all I really wanted to do is English – and not only speak English, but teach English.

At that time, in France, in 2010 - 2011, they wanted to destroy the IUFM.
So, I would take my car, would go to the IUFM and try to listen for at least 20/30 minutes in class. I think I had about seven, eight teachers. I would partially sleep in class because nothing was about didactics and how to teach, and that didn’t help me for about almost two years to survive in the beginning.

I wanted to write a blog about the job of the teachers, and then have some reactions maybe. And I said, “Wait a second…I know Twitter – why don’t I use Twitter which is the web of the future?” And I didn’t have any idea what to do, but I knew I needed a click so I created an account which then was synched to my smartphone. I knew that it could be a thing of the future but I didn’t realise how much the impact it would be.

My name is Monsieur Le Prof, but everybody calls me Monsieur.
