French- Canadian tutor & Certified special need educator Bonjour! I’m Vanessa 👋 I’m a French-Canadian from Montreal.

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!

因为是视听课,我觉得老师应该可以和孩子正常交流以及测试,来判断孩子的英语能力,但是老师却让我过来告诉她需要练孩子什么内容。我觉得她不够引导孩子开口,没有激情。

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.

We chatted about Why i wanted to learn French, then we talked about the other languages that we both know. Vanessa is very warm, very patient, and very funny. She’s also super encouraging, and she wr te down all my mistakes and helped me. The 60 min flew by fast and i had so much fun.
