Bilingual English and French Tutor specializing in Reading, Writing, and Communication Skills

Methodology

I first approach our lessons according to the specific needs and requests of the parents. I then assess the learning strengths and challenges of the student and devote the adequate amount of time in order to help them strengthen their skills while enjoying the class. I create a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment while spending the necessary time to help the student master à new words and concepts. This usually requires repetition and closer attention to the details.

Background

I am an active teacher and professor since 2010, with both a mission and aptitude to encourage and inspire students to develop their reading, spoken, and written skills in both English and French. I also am a professional singer-songwriter and use my musical sensibilities to help the students with their pronunciation, cadence, and delivery.
