About Me
italki teacher since Apr 21, 2020InterestsFoodMusicBusiness & FinanceFilms & TV SeriesTravel
Born in Canada, fluent in English (C2 level) & French, I’ve lived in Hungary, Monaco, Italy, Mexico, Spain (2013-23), and Antigua, and I enjoy new challenges.
I’ve studied 8 languages myself, so I understand the frustrations learners face.
Supportive and adaptable, I adjust each lesson to your goals and style, offering clear explanations, structured courses, and insights into both Canadian & European French.
I teach all levels, no problem.
Key highlights:
* Psychology & Int'l Finance graduate with 25 years exp. as a senior commodities trader
* Teaching French since 2017 in a university (Spain)
* Delivered 5,900+ private online lessons since 2022
* Hosted 500+ group sessions (conversation, pronunciation, structured A1–B2 courses)
* Real-world business experience + psychology = effective teaching
* Clear, structured methods help students progress quickly & build confidence
* I can provide all explanations in English or French, as you prefer.

Mon professeur est un vrai pro. Il est très solide sur le plan technique, explique clairement et s’adapte bien à mon niveau. En plus de ça, c’est quelqu’un de vraiment agréable avec qui discuter, ce qui rend les cours motivants et naturels. Je le recommande sans hésiter.
