"My goal is to see children as excited about a museum tour as they are about Disneyland. It’s possible! That challenge is why I love sharing Paris with children through interactive adventures like treasure hunts. We all may quickly forget facts, but fascinating stories last in our memories. When children can directly engage with objects, their imaginations are activated.
I have a background is in child psychology, which helps me engage both little explorers and sceptic adolescents. I spent years developing strategies to ignite curiosity and to find a key to the heart of every child. I believe that learning should be fun. As Albert Einstein put it: ‘Education is that which remains, if one has forgotten everything he learned in school."
My favorite place for kids in Paris is the Luxembourg Gardens, for its boats, ponies and the oldest carrousel in the city.
Alexandra spent 7 years studying child psychology. She earned two Master’s Degrees from Moscow State University and Yeshiva University in New York. After following her dream to live in Paris, she fell in love with French culture. During her studies at the Sorbonne and the Ecole du Louvre, Alexandra learned French history and art, which inspired her to become a family tour guide and educator. After completing the certification training program for French National Tour Guides at CNAM, the Conservatory for Vocational Training and Art in Paris, she continues to build her collection of kid-friendly stories which make history come alive.
