About Harlan

My teaching approach is rooted in active dialogue and real-world application. I focus on helping students speak French with confidence, clarity, and authentic pronunciation. Through personalized lessons, we work on conversational fluency, accent reduction, and grammar coaching in ways that feel natural and engaging. I use real-life scenarios, role-plays, and practical themes to bring the language to life. Whether it's ordering food, discussing literature, or preparing for an academic presentation, our sessions are always meaningful and dynamic. I believe in immersion—not just learning French, but thinking in it. Students who need strong academic structure or are preparing for exams find my guidance especially helpful. I provide clear explanations, targeted exercises, and consistent feedback to help them master grammar and expand their vocabulary. We also explore cultural topics, expressions, and idioms that give depth to both spoken and written French. I encourage students to speak often and make mistakes without fear. That’s how real fluency grows. With the right support, even complex grammar becomes manageable and conversations flow with ease. My goal is to help learners not just understand French, but truly live it—with precision, pride, and purpose.

About the lesson

I’m a French tutor with over 9 years of experience and a PhD in Québécois Literature and Culture. My passion lies in teaching children aged 8 to 14, especially through the magic of dramatic play, improvisation, and script reading. I’ve seen how stepping into a character can unlock a child's confidence and make language learning exciting and memorable. My sessions are filled with laughter, movement, and storytelling—all in French. I focus on building foundational vocabulary, clear pronunciation, and simple grammar through joyful, hands-on activities. Whether we’re acting out scenes, inventing skits, or exploring emotions in French, every lesson is an adventure. I love helping children connect with the language through expression and creativity. They don’t just memorize—they live the words. This approach helps learners absorb French naturally, while also developing empathy, communication, and presence. I tailor each session to match the energy and imagination of my students. Lessons are structured but flexible, always with space for fun and discovery.
