Character Relationships in Private Tuition

Jeanne Kern (played by Élisabeth Bourgine) is a protagonist in Private Tuition. Jeanne Kern is a provocative history teacher at a mixed private school who knows the effect she has on men.

Bruno Ketti (played by Michel Aumont) appears in Private Tuition. Bruno Ketti is the school director and is passionately, even irrationally, attracted to Jeanne Kern.
