    French as a Second Language for youth and adults. Oral and/or writing French language skills upon demand.

    I specialize in tutoring French to Adults including those who want to get French accreditations set by the French Ministry of Culture. My international experience in this field covers students who want to register in French universities as well as public servants and businessmen who need to improve their oral language and/or their writing skills (grammar, vocabulary). From 2004 to 2010, I was a French as a Second Language (FSL) instructor at Alliance Française de Toronto (Canada) and I also was in charge of providing one-on-one and group classes to Members of the Provincial Parliament (MPP) of Ontario and high-ranking Canadian public servants in various Canadian Federal Government Departments, Ontario Provincial Government Ministries and Ontario Court of Justice to assess their French language skills, help them in their job and prepare them to successfully take the Canadian federal and provincial language accreditation exams. Since then, my strong educational and professional backgrounds and broad knowledge of terminology in several fields (I hold a Master's in History, a Master's in Financial Management and a Bachelor of Science in Physics in addition to the Oracle Certified Professional Developer certification) have been a great asset for those who want to deepen their knowledge of the Langue de Molière in oral communication and/or writing, whatever their field of interest is. I would be more than happy to work with you with responsibility, respect and confidentiality.

Regarding English courses, I am bilingual English, and will direct my course mostly on oral, which I consider essential for a living language. The aim will be to acquire fluency in the practice of the language, through the student's interests (advice for films, series, books, music in English in particular), while adapting it to the approach. required by a school. I adapt to the level of the student, from college to high school.

    Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
    Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.
