•I love cooking, learning recipes from different country and try to re-create them at home.
• I'm also a dancer. I've been dancing since the age of 15. I've danced salsa at a professional level but I now do other style of dances (afro, heels, hip-hop, etc.)
What about you ? Let's talk and learn while having fun 😊

Me as a Teacher
I'm a certified special need educator
I have a "human approach". I like to connect with people and create a bond with them
I know how to adapt and adjust my teaching skills
I make sure to offer the students what they need and give them a realistic way of achieving their goals
My lessons & teaching style
I believe that the best way to learn a new language is first to be comfortable with the teacher, have a great connection & be physically & mentally available. Success comes with time. Allow yourself to make mistakes.
In my lessons :
✻ I want you be yourself, feel confortable, allow yourself to make mistakes. We want improvement. Not perfection :)
✻ I have plenty of activities to propose. You do not have to come prepared unless you want to do something specific.
✻ I do not have a "structure". We go with the flow and do what you're in the mood for. I'll be there to support and guide you.

I chat with Vanessa 2-3 times per week and it has been SO helpful in developing my conversational skills. She’s so kind and has a great sense of humor which makes her easy to talk to.

Vanessa is terrific! My french is horrible, but she is patient and does her best to understand me. She offers simple ways to get my point across and helps me to feel more confident in my ability to communicate. I would recommend her to everyone! She is a GREAT teacher!

I have had a positive experience working with Vanessa. She creates a comfortable learning environment, keeping her availability up to date, and is great about following up with vocabulary.

It was a pleasure speaking with you, Vanessa! You are very friendly and funny. I didn't notice how the 30 minutes of the lesson flew by. Thank you very much for our conversation and your opinions!
