Hello everyone! My name is Amélie, and I am a comparative literature student at the University of Montreal. I am a very curious and passionate person, and I have many interests, such as languages, literature, linguistics, cinema, travelling, and more! If I had to describe myself in two words, it would be culture vulture! All students are welcome (safe space for my fellow queer folks!), from absolute beginner to native speaker who wants help writing essays or preparing for a test! In doubt, feel free to ask questions! I am also open to language exchange for speakers of Spanish, German, Mandarin Chinese or Portuguese.
Me as a Teacher
I am an experienced tutor and have received a formation on tutoring given by a professional teacher. Aside from working on other tutoring sites, I have worked in a community of tutors and teachers in a french help center at my college, therefore my teaching is also inspired by individuals more experienced than me. I have also travelled quite a bit, and had to get by in languages I was not familiar with, so I know how to start building sentences quickly to be understood. These various experiences have had a big impact on my teaching.
My lessons & teaching style
I am an extremely open minded tutor, and I will not hesitate to build a class from scratch for students with specific objectives. My philosophy in language learning is to associate the language you are learning with positive experiences. For example, a conversation about themes you are passionate about, an interest in culture, a fun travelling experience, or simply a book or movie you love. I assure you, I will talk about anything and everything! Furthermore, as an experienced language learner, I have tricks to make language learning a habit that motivates you and helps you attain your goals. Feel free to contact me for special requests or questions.

Ámelie is amazing! She is the perfect tutor, and our lesson went perfectly!
Prior to our lesson, I’d had a bit of exposure to French (from having seen, heard, and researched it,) but I’d call myself an absolute beginner, regardless, because there’s very little I know how to say.
Amélie was very receptive to working on the topics I’d requested. Also, in the beginning of our lesson, she gave me options to choose for the methods we could use to review everything.
I’d selected the “grammar debunking” lesson, but we focused on French phonetics- it’s so helpful to have a general sense of the sounds and corresponding ways to write them.
We focused on Québec French phonetics because I’d asked to, but she also knew a lot about how the sounds and other aspects of France French work, even though she’s from Québec!
We managed to cover so much. She was very observant of what I was understanding and what I was having trouble with and knew how to explain things in ways I understood.

Amélie is very energetic and structured and you can see at once that she is an experienced tutor. She gave me an assessment of my current level and was attentive to my specific needs and expectations.

Amelie is a very competent teacher. She was very helpful to me with pronunciation and usage of the French language during conversation. She also helped me with other languages that I study. I will book other classes with Amelie.
