I'm a very enthusiastic and warm person who likes to connect with others. There's no reason to be shy when learning a language with me! I've majored in translation at university, and am now pursuing a post-graduate diploma in second language education. I've been teaching French for 6 years now, and plan on teaching for many more! I've worked with adults, in small groups and 1v1 session, and with kids in French immersion in a rural town in the Northwest Territories (that was a great adventure!). I'm also currently learning Mandarin Chinese (so if you struggle with English or French, I understand!) "You can't become good at something you don't do", so in my class we'll make sure you get a lot of speaking in! :) I use a communicative approach and comprehensible input -- fancy words that only mean that most of the class will happen in your target language and that you will do a lot of talking.

Lauralie is a fantastic tutor. She knows how to focus on her students' objectives: I specifically wanted to work on conversation skills, so she found topics to discuss and facilitated conversation in a friendly, patient, and natural way. At the same time, she listens closely and is always ready to explain a grammatical point or unfamiliar vocabulary I'm struggling with. I can't recommend her enough!

Lauralie was excellent! So clear, patient, and a joy to work with. I learned clear pronunciation, cultural immersion, and new vocab. I had a blast, and am looking forward to another class.

I really appreciated meeting with Lauralie for my first French lesson in several years. She was very patient as I tried to "reactivate" past French knowledge. Merci beaucoup Lauralie!
