Bonjour! I’m Vanessa 👋
I’m a French-Canadian from Montreal. I’m passionate about travel and understanding people from different backgrounds and talking about life, culture, self-growth and everyday topics, from light chats to deeper discussions.
• I'm Fluent in French & English (and I understand Spanish)
• I'm a certified special-needs educator (welcome to all neurodivergent students)
My goal is simple: create a space where conversations feel natural and comfortable. Help you practice expressing yourself and grow with confidence, all in a relaxed, judgment-free space.
📍Currently in Montreal, Canada
I travel often, so availability may sometimes vary slightly due to time zone changes
I’m a certified special-needs educator with a human, student-centered approach. I value real connection and create a safe, supportive space where students feel comfortable learning.
I specialize in Québécois French, including local expressions and cultural nuances. I’m also comfortable with European French and can explain the main differences when needed.
I adapt my teaching to your pace, personality, and needs, whether you’re shy, busy, or neurodivergent.
My focus is on practical conversations. It’s not about being perfect, but about feeling comfortable making mistakes and learning from them.
My goal is to help you gain confidence and express yourself naturally in French.
I focus on conversation-based lessons adapted to your needs and goals. There’s no strict plan or preparation requir...My teaching material

Vanessa is a genuinely fantastic French instructor. We've been working together for a month or two now and I look forward to our conversations every week; they are always intriguing, varied, and fun. Her language is perfectly graded for my level and she knows when to support me when I falter. I feel like my French gets better with every session. I couldn't recommend her more if you're looking to improve your French.

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!

Very encouraging! I really appreciate how easy it was to speak with Vanessa. She was very clear about what I can expect in lessons and also provided helpful resources and tips to supplement the lessons as well. Looking forward to our next lesson!
