About Me
italki teacher since Mar 26, 2017Interest topicHistoryPets & AnimalsReadingTravelMusic
If you see that my days are booked, it is usually because I have enough classes during a day. I try to not have a day that is too long so I can give my best to all my students. However, you can still send me a message and if I can open a slot for you, I will. If you don't try, you'll never know :P
Me as a Teacher
I am a teacher that really cares about her students. One of the biggest compliment I can get is when people tell me they feel comfortable speaking and making mistakes during our classes. After all, we learn languages in order to communicate with others (me included!), not to feel judged. I will try my best to motivate you and remind you why you are learning French by making my classes fun, interesting and efficient. Each student is different so I always adapt the lesson to the student. Lastly, I prefer an informal approach as I feel one can learn better while having fun!My lessons & teaching style

I have been working with Helene for the past 6 months or more. She is one of the best teacher I have ever had in my life and also such a kind, compassionate and wonderful person.
I was able to prepare in a very short time the TEF for Canada and I scored very high, getting better results than expected. It was seriously an amazing result which I could have not achieved without her preparation and expertise. I am also following conversation classes and talk about film/series/books with her. The lessons are never boring, always prepared in details, fun and fitting my needs. Hélène listens and supports you not only looking at the technical point of view of the language but also and especially from the human side. I think the biography on her profile is very true but even more, she is such an attentive person. Plus I always get the best advice on Quebec/Montreal life/personal experiences on living abroad and I suggestions and recommendations for my upcoming move to the Canada!

Helene is an awesome teacher. We have time for conversational french as well as time to discuss my assignment. She understands my needs and tailors the assignments according to my interests. During free-form conversation she tries to speak so that I am both understanding and also challenged. She stops to clarify when I don't understand. I'm having lots of fun with the assignments and our lessons!
