About Me
italki teacher since Nov 2, 2021
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 - 5:00).
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.

I have been working with René for 10 lessons and look forward to each one. He is attentive, asks good questions, and is easy to converse with. He is the best kept secret on iTalki for learning French.
