Tutor

Sabrina Bentouati

I am Sabrina Bentouati, a scientist who has had always a passion for baking which drove me to take a training to learn the basics of Pastry in France (CAP Pâtisserie). I am a baking school co-owner running an after-school club “Paste & Art Ateliers” where I am teaching kids from Year1 to Year6 how to bake. Tutoring the art of Pastry to kids was a good opportunity for me to learn how to simplify baking techniques. Besides my classes with children (after-school club or birthday parties), I enjoy tutoring Patisserie for adults.
