Hello there!
Nice to meet you…
Education is my passion. I have been teaching English as a second language (ESL) in the French international Lycée system since 2003, to middle and high school students (grades 6-12)in Canada, South Africa and Dubai. I have also taught history and geography in English (grades 9-12) for the past 7 years.
I am a Canadian citizen, currently based in Montreal, and a native speaker of English as well as French. I am a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher who believes in developing the unique qualities in each of my students.
My pedagogical approach relies on positive reinforcement, encouragement and motivation to reach attainable academic goals.
I am a graduate of McGill University in Political Science, with a specialization in International Relations. After a 15 year career in international business with a Canadian based multinational firm, my family moved to South Africa where I started my teaching career at the Lycée Français Jules Verne in Johannesburg. This was followed a few years later by a teaching position at the Collège Marie de France in Montreal. I began teaching in Dubai in 2013, at the Lycée Français International Georges Pompidou where I taught ESL as well as history and geography in English. I am now dedicating my career to a more personalised approach to education and coaching, putting my many years of teaching experience to work for students of all ages.
