Introduction: Bonjour! If you are looking for a professional with strong French skills, you are at the right place.I am a native French speaker from Montreal, Canada. I received a Bachelor degree in French Literature from University of Quebec at Montreal. I also obtained a Certificate in education to be able to teach. After college, I traveled a lot (Australia, Japan, Ireland, France) and taught core curriculum subjects at different private schools in Montreal for 5 years. Since my relocation in Texas, I have worked as a French Translator for different companies throughout the Dallas area. But I missed teaching terribly and want to get back to my roots. French language is my passion and I always worked in French. As a French tutor I am committed to pass along this passion. With me you will learn how to converse in French in everyday situations (restaurant, directions, call a cab, greetings etc.) I am a firm believer that to be able to learn or to master a new language you need to be exposed to the culture, to hear the language and to have no choice than to speak the language. In my teaching, I use a lot of cultural tools to expose the students to the French culture (music, videos, books, magazines, newspapers, etc.) I can teach French at all levels from beginner to advanced and from conversation skills to written skills (grammar). I am proud to say that my own kids speak French fluently as well and, in addition, they understand Italian. In my spare time, I read books in French, Italian and English, go on walks, spend time with my 2 kids and travel. Every year we go back to Montreal to visit friends and family and also to keep my kids exposed to the French language. My pricing is reasonable and you will have a great time learning French. With my expertise and my strong knowledge, I can teach you how to speak and write in French in a few months or I can translate documents in French for you. Try me!
