Francophone native who has been tutoring French to kids and youth on a part time basis for 10years now.
Bachelor of Arts in Child and Youth Care
My tutoring approach is designed to feel welcoming, engaging, and confidence‑building. From the very first session, children are encouraged to see French not just as a subject, but as a language they can enjoy and use. Sessions are interactive and lively — mixing conversation, reading, writing, and playful activities that keep kids motivated. Mistakes are treated as part of the process, so students feel safe to try, explore, and grow without pressure. Every child’s journey looks a little different. Some come in needing extra support with French Immersion, others are beginners starting fresh, and many simply want to feel more confident. Whatever the starting point, lessons are tailored to meet each child where they are. Parents often notice that beyond improved grades, their children gain a stronger sense of self‑esteem. The tutoring experience is about more than academics — it’s about helping kids believe in themselves, enjoy learning, and carry that confidence into other areas of life. Whether online or in person, the atmosphere is patient, encouraging, and full of energy. It’s a space where children can thrive, discover their strengths, and build a lasting love for learning.
My approach is helping every child find confidence and joy in learning French. We know that each learner comes with unique strengths, challenges, and goals, so our approach is never one‑size‑fits‑all. Instead, we create a supportive, personalized environment where children feel seen, encouraged, and capable.
