About Me
italki teacher since Jul 8, 2016InterestsMusicReadingFilms & TV Series
I'm an experienced, certified school teacher who knows how to bring out the best in my students! I have taught courses in French and English to both second language learners and native speakers. My job is to make you feel good about learning a new language so that you progress quickly!
You will find me to be a listener with a few stories to tell. I have lived and worked in France and Denmark and travelled a fair bit in Europe. Currently, I live in Canada. We now have a young son whom you might meet (or hear!) at some point! At the moment, I am happy that he takes up most of my time, but I do like to read good books, see good films and chat with good friends once in a while.Me as a Teacher
I am qualified to teach French as a second and as a native language at all grade levels in school and have taught at University.
I am a certified teacher in Canada (OCT) and England (QTS). I hold a BA in French (4 years), an MA in French, and a BEd in High School (Secondary) French as a second language (FSL) with a course on ESL. I hold additional qualifications in elementary (Primary) teaching and in French as a native language, and an Honour Specialist in French language teaching. I have formally studied the entire evolution of French beginning with Latin, then Old and Middle French, with a focus on modern European standard French. I am also proud to be very familiar with Québécois.My lessons & teaching style
Feeling comfortable is perhaps the most important factor for success in learning a new language. While my own experience leads me to agree, this is supported by many studies. I am a teacher who makes students feel good about learning. It doesn't matter where you are now, you'll feel good about working with me to improve your level in the language. As a result, you'll learn faster and more easily. I have explained these concepts many times in many different ways because all students are unique, just like you. I have experience teaching everyone from young children to retired people. My lessons are always tailored to the individual needs of students so they meet their specific goals.My teaching material

Chris is a great teacher; very knowledgeable about the pitfalls native English speakers face in French and he is expertly able to tailor his lessons to the professional needs of the student. Highly recommend.
