Hello, bonjour! It’s me, Donia.
I’m the person behind Martin Avril! I’m a native French speaker from Paris and moved to London in 2016, initially for six months as an au pair in a French family—and here I am, years later!

I’ve been passionate about theater and visual arts for as long as I can remember. I was a very shy child, and theater was a game changer for me. It gave me confidence, discipline, and helped me feel more comfortable with myself and others.

I graduated from a multidisciplinary theater school in Paris and have worked with children for a long time. Then I thought, why not combine my love for visual and live performance to create something unique? That’s how Les Aventures de Martin Avril was born!

We specialize in providing the best experience by collaborating with professional musicians from around the world to foster curiosity and openness to different cultures. In our live or recorded sessions, children get to explore instruments they might not encounter in other contexts.

As a native French speaker and a language lover, I believe it’s crucial to support children in their early years to create an emotional bond with a language and equip them with the best tools to thrive.

One day, your little one will thank you for guiding them on this beautiful journey.

It certainly changed mine.

With love,
Donia <3
