🌟 Your friendly guide to Québécois and standard French and Canadian immigration tests! 🌟
Bonjour! I’m a French teacher specializing in engaging, discussion-based lessons built around authentic content, literature, and real-world topics. My approach is lively and interactive, and designed to help you feel comfortable speaking and making mistakes.
As a Québécoise from Montreal, I naturally incorporate Québécois French and culture into my lessons and can help you navigate both language and cultural nuances.
Spots are limited, so feel free to message me before booking. I look forward to working with you!
Ik als leerkracht
I am a teacher who genuinely cares about my students and their progress. One of the greatest compliments I can receive is when students feel comfortable speaking and making mistakes during our lessons.
I believe languages are meant to communicate, not to create fear of being judged. My goal is to create a relaxed environment where you can express yourself freely while building confidence and accuracy.
I also focus on engaging and meaningful content to make each lesson interesting, relevant, and motivating. Every lesson is adapted to your level, interests, and goals.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I offer different types of lessons—feel free to contact me if you are unsure which format suits you best. My approach is based on authentic materials and content-driven learning rather than isolated grammar drills. I design my own lessons using literary texts, articles, or audiovisual content, with structured questions, discussion prompts, and optional writing tasks. I also offer conversation-based lessons focused on fluency, confidence, and guided discussion.

I have been working with Helene for the past 6 months or more. She is one of the best teacher I have ever had in my life and also such a kind, compassionate and wonderful person.
I was able to prepare in a very short time the TEF for Canada and I scored very high, getting better results than expected. It was seriously an amazing result which I could have not achieved without her preparation and expertise. I am also following conversation classes and talk about film/series/books with her. The lessons are never boring, always prepared in details, fun and fitting my needs. Hélène listens and supports you not only looking at the technical point of view of the language but also and especially from the human side. I think the biography on her profile is very true but even more, she is such an attentive person. Plus I always get the best advice on Quebec/Montreal life/personal experiences on living abroad and I suggestions and recommendations for my upcoming move to the Canada!

Helene is an awesome teacher. We have time for conversational french as well as time to discuss my assignment. She understands my needs and tailors the assignments according to my interests. During free-form conversation she tries to speak so that I am both understanding and also challenged. She stops to clarify when I don't understand. I'm having lots of fun with the assignments and our lessons!
