Who am I ?

I am Anne, Quebecer by adoption, Anglo-Saxon at heart and French by birth.

After studying Foreign Languages and Civilisations in France, I went to live in England, then in Ireland and finally in Canada.

Speaking two languages gave me a different perspective about life, myself and others. That’s exactly what I want to convey to my students.

Small Talks - French with Anne

The creation of my language school is the realization of a long-awaited dream. I have always wanted to make French accessible to everyone, just like my teachers did when I was young. They were a true inspiration and I want to have the same impact on my students.

For me, success starts with motivation and the understanding that each small step leads somewhere closer to the goal.

Success also stems from understanding how to communicate efficiently. I will show you how important listening is, and how being attentive to the questions people ask you, is key.

Every day, I start off with these 3 quotes :

In every failure, there is a lesson that shows you how to win the next time.

For every language we speak, we live a new life.

Good shoes take you good places.

Testimonials

Rachael

If you are in need of a French tutor, I highly recommend Anne. Anne was my online tutor for approximately 9 months.

After going through various types of French learning training in the past, I can honestly say that my lessons with Anne have been one of the best investments of both time and money I have ever made.

Like many public servants, it was a struggle to find a tutor that has a thorough understanding of the government language exam requirements.

Anne has given me exam-specific tools, practical tips and other information designed to help me pass my exams and advance my French language capabilities. It is obvious that Anne is truly a seasoned French teacher.

What I truly appreciated was that her course plans were tailored to my learning style, she had clear objectives and a well-planned out training plan.

She was always prepared with interesting discussion topics, particular grammar structure and useful vocabulary; however, she was always willing to allow the lesson to go in a different direction to fit my particular needs.

Anne possesses that amazing quality found only in the best educators, the ability to instill confidence in a student while correcting a mistake. Not one time have I felt stupid or inept as Anne modeled the correct response or explained how to correct the mistake.

For this and many other reasons, I highly recommend Anne as a French tutor. If you want to improve your existing French language skills or want to begin your journey to experience the beauty of the French language, Anne is the teacher who will get you there.

Anne is an excellent teacher. I worked with her to successfully renew my C oral with the Government of Canada in 2021. She was very supportive of my learning goals and designed a curriculum that suited my particular needs.

Anne and I worked together entirely remotely. She is very adept at teaching virtually and utilizes all the tools that the platforms offer to deliver high quality, efficient and effective instruction.

Anne is the best French language teacher I have ever had and I would strongly recommend her to anyone seeking language instruction.
