Bonjour! I’m Magalie, your friendly French-Canadian teacher from Montreal. 🇨🇦 I specialize in teaching authentic *Canadian French*—complete with local expressions, accent, and cultural quirks! Whether you’re an English or Spanish speaker, I’ll help you sound like a true *Québécois(e)* while keeping lessons fun and relaxed. Currently based in Spain, I blend my experience as a primary school language assistant with personalized tutoring. My background in nutrition sciences? Proof that I love breaking down complex topics (like grammar!) into digestible bites. Let’s make mistakes, laugh, and grow—*ensemble*! *(P.S. Ask me about poutine or maple syrup—I’ve got strong opinions! 🍁)*Me as a Teacher
I will teach you specifically Canadian French! The dialect, the accent, the expressions as well.
It's important for me to foster a non-judgmental environment in my lessons; where you can feel comfortable to speak to the best of your abilities, without fear of making mistakes. After all, making mistakes is the only way you will improve your language skills! I adapt to my student's needs; different things work for different people. The goal here is to keep you engaged and motivated so that you don't even see the time pass while improving your language skills. My lessons & teaching style
A lesson with me: what does that look like? I believe that language learning should be fun! Together, we can discuss different subjects that might interest you, whether that's travel, languages, music, cooking or sports. I also love to talk about news and politics!
When discussing, I will correct you when you make a mistake, and explain why it should be said that way. I will help you with pronounciation and local expressions. If you prefer more structure in your lessons, I can prep a few exercises for you to get some extra practice in. I will also teach you grammar rules while sharing my screen so you can easily follow as I teach.My teaching material

Magalie is a great teacher, and I would not hesitate to recommend her!!
She is attentive, kind, knowledgeable, and provides clear and useful feedback on my mistakes, including pronunciation and other aspects of the language. As a student trying to juggle three languages in my brain, her English classes are helping me a lot.

Magalie is a wonderful teacher. She is very easy to understand and adjusts her pace as I need. She helps me express what I'm trying to say and is very easy to talk to even if I make a lot of mistakes. The corrections are helpful and the perfect amount.

Magalie is a wonderful teacher. Her lessons are conversation-based, which helps a lot to improve quickly and gain confidence in speaking. It has only been a few weeks since I started taking lessons with her, but I can already see a clear difference in my speaking level.
