Hello everyone! My name is Amélie, I'm a writer and hold a masters degree in comparative literature. I am an expert in Latin American queer literature and culture. I am an official member of the Hyperpolyglot Association (HYPIA). My favourite singer is Fairuz, and my favourite poet is the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. I am passionate about Middle Eastern and South Asian languages, as well literature, linguistics, history, travelling, and more! The animal that describes me best is the parrot, since I am talkative and a great imitator! I take pride in welcoming the LGBTQ+ community and BIPOC communities, and I facilitate inclusion for refugees in the Montreal area.
Ik als leerkracht
I have been teaching for over four years now, and I specialize in teaching French to immigrants. I have worked in the Chamber of Commerce of Montreal, in the "J'apprends le français" program, a program which allows small business owners and workers to learn French at their place of work. This program allowed me to perfect my teaching style, as well as appear on TV and podcasts to promote our approach. As of fall 2026, I also offer Spanish and English conversation lessons at a competitive price.
Recently, I have launched a pilot project designed to facilitate French learning for immigrants, especially refugees in the Montreal area. Feel free to ask me about availabilities.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
Over the years, I have developed my own language-learning principles. Here are a few :
1. Consistency over duration : small study sessions have better effects than long tiring sessions.
2. Repetition over passive reading : if the words are not repeated and LIVED, they are never learned.
3. Emotional incentive. Who utters the words you are learning? Maybe a loved one, an artist you love, a compelling character in a movie. A strong incentive fuels memory.
By booking a lesson, you will be introduced to all those principles and more. I focus on practice and repetition and I am goal-oriented. I take every situation seriously and I adapt to each student's needs.

Amelie is a fantastic teacher. She does a great job of keeping conversation interesting and moving, but also taking a deep dive into aspects of language instruction when it’s helpful.

Amélie est une professeure remarquable. Son approche de l’écriture se distingue par un travail méticuleux sur la grammaire et le choix de mots, où elle illustre les nuances entre des termes similaires avec des exemples, ce qui est d’une grand aide pour progresser en français.

I enjoyed talking to Amélie, she obviously knows a lot about her own language and culture and those of others, we did not even touch on all of our shared interests during our first hour of conversation. Merci, à la prochaine!
