My name is Céline Provost. I’m the head of the Marketing Technics Department of CY Cergy Paris Université, located at Sarcelles and I teach English and Communication. My versatility allows me to create innovative and challenging contents for my students mixing a wide array of topics and skills. Indeed, I graduated from a Business School prior to becoming an English teacher and this offered me a priceless open-mindedness and a thirst for creativity. I’m always on the lookout for new trends or innovative products, services and apps. I love to challenge my students into developping their skills be they soft or hard by digging into a new field and creating from scratch. For instance, my sophomores have to create an influencer agency and thus discover this expanding market.
