Evelyne Vetil – Lead La Maison Elementary Teacher

Born and raised in France, Evelyne holds a B.T.S. (Executive Administrative Assistant). Her curiosity and sense of adventure made her move to Montreal, Canada, in 1988 and then, to North Carolina in 1994. In 1996, Evelyne answered the call to teach after a career of 10 years in the administrative field. Her love of children, the French language, and of cultural experiences led her to a career as a co-teacher at the St-Francis of Assisi Preschool, and then as a French instructor at the Berlitz Language Center, and at the World Language Company of Raleigh. In 2002, she was introduced to the Montessori School System when she started teaching French at the Montessori Middle and Elementary School of Raleigh. Evelyne has now been working with Raleigh Montessori School students for 6 years, and she has been providing French tutoring to Adults and elementary and high School Students in the R.T.P. Beyond teaching, every summer, she enjoys spending time in Brittany, France with her family. She and her husband have three children.

Fransisco Albornoz – Lead La Casa Elementary Teacher

Born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, Fransisco came from a large family full of love. He was fortunate to have a nanny (“Yaya”) who took very good care of him and his sisters and brothers. Fransisco’s mother, Blanca, a hard working woman, and his father, Eustorgio, a retired pilot, gave him a solid foundation in his early years. Fransisco has a bachelor’s degree in Marketing and worked for one of the most prestigious ad agencies in the country. In 1994 he decided to leave Venezuela looking to learn English as a second language and registered in the Seminole Community College. Years later he moved to NC and met his wife, Patricia who teaches dance, and had a beautiful son Lucas Vicente. Because he started from zero, Fransisco had to work in different jobs in the services industries, sales, etc.  Fransisco is a man who loves to learn, explore, and live his life to the fullest, giving his best and making a difference.
