Living in Curitiba, Brazil

Certified as a foreign language teacher (English, French and Haitian Creole) for about 12 years now. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Teaching English and Spanish as Foreign Languages and a Master’s Degree in Education. Fluent in five languages (Haitian Creole, French, English, and Spanish, with intermediate proficiency in Italian), I adapt my teaching approach to each student’s goals, interests, and learning style, creating lessons that are engaging, practical, and effective. Patience, communication, and active learning are at the core of my teaching philosophy, helping students build confidence and real-world language skills. My goal is not only to teach a language, but to guide students toward autonomy, fluency, and meaningful communication through personalized and learner-centered instruction.

After about 88 lessons with Alen, I’ve really come to appreciate how thoughtful and effective his teaching style is. He explains grammar clearly, reinforces concepts through conversation, and gives feedback in a way that genuinely helps me grow. I’ve become so much more confident speaking because of his approach. What I also value is how he incorporates Haitian culture into our lessons. It makes learning feel alive and meaningful, and it’s helped me feel a deeper connection to the language and its roots. That’s something really special and not something every teacher offers. I’m truly grateful for the experience.

Mwen te vin sou italki avèk yon sèl objektif: aprann kreyòl. Aprann ak Alain se yon eksperyans ki pi bèl pase mwen te janm imajine. Gras a li, mwen devlope lanmou pou aprantisaj lang e mwen rekonèt enpòtans pou pale plizyè lang. Se poutèt sa mwen te kòmanse aprann fransè avèk li tou. Li se yon moun ki gen anpil konesans ak sajès. Alain itilize pwòp materyèl didaktik li, e li gen kapasite pou l anseye tout nivo. Li gen yon bèl apwòch nan konvèsasyon ki fè m santi m alèz. Leson yo vrèman enteresan, epi li montre yon pasyon otantik pou ansèyman. Li suiv pwogrè elèv li yo byen e yo pwogrese rapidman. Alain posede tout kalite yon pwofesè eksepsyonèl dwe genyen. Li se yon gwo enspirasyon pou mwen. Pa gen yon pwofesè ka konpare ak li. Mwen rekòmande li ak tout konfyans. Mèsi anpil, Alain!
