About Me
italki teacher since Nov 2, 2021
Interest topicTechScienceFood
I propose to emphasize oral comprehension and expression through friendly conversation.
Of course, we can also discuss the underlying grammar if that is helpful to you.
I will invite you to choose which material or topic is of most interest to you. On my side, I have varied interests including technology, aviation, programming, skiing, travelling and more.
Looking forward to working with you.
Feel free to ask for 'same-day lessons'; I am usually available to accept lesson requests with one hour advance notice, between 9:00 and 17:00 Montreal time (UTC - 4:00).
Me as a Teacher
I was involved in teaching for many years: as a skydiving instructor for one, and also acting as supervisor for new employees and interns in our IT organization.
I wish to discuss with my students which material would be of most interest for them, and make the language learning experience motivating and entertaining.
My lessons & teaching style
I emphasize oral comprehension and expression, but we can discuss grammar rules if that is helpful.

René is a great French teacher. He is great to talk to, he gives good feedback, and he is knowledgeable and friendly. I'm looking forward to the next lesson.

As usual, perfectly structured, individually adapted to the needs of the students and thus highly effective classes, with additional material to deepen and expand knowledge and also a lot of fun! Thank you very much, René! Highly recommended!

Rene is a wonderful tutor and very patient! He helped me progress for an upcoming trip to Quebec. I’m excited to put what he’s taught me to good use!
