Academic Background and Teaching Experience
I hold a Bachelor's degree in French Language and Literature from Shanghai International Studies University, a Master's degree in French Translation from the Université de Montréal, and an MBA from HEC Montréal. This unique combination of expertise in French language, translation, and business enables me to provide high-quality, academically rigorous, and personalized French tutoring to students and adult learners alike.
Over the years, I have worked extensively in French education in Canada, supporting students at a wide range of levels and learning objectives. My teaching experience includes elementary and secondary school French programs, IB French courses, DELF exam preparation, and TCF French proficiency testing. This broad experience allows me to adapt my teaching approach to each student's needs and provide targeted support at every stage of their French learning journey.
My interdisciplinary background in French language and literature, translation studies, and business management allows me to bring a well-rounded and practical approach to French education. Beyond a strong foundation in the French language, I am able to design structured, personalized learning plans that reflect each student's unique needs, learning style, and academic goals.
In my teaching, I place a strong emphasis on helping students develop clear language skills, effective study habits, and the confidence to use French in real-world situations. Whether a student is looking to improve school performance, prepare for IB French or DELF examinations, or learn French for work, immigration, travel, or personal enrichment, I create a personalized learning plan tailored to their goals. My objective is to help each student build a strong foundation and achieve steady, long-term progress in French.
I believe that effective French education is about more than simply teaching vocabulary and grammar. It is about helping students build confidence, develop lifelong learning skills, and discover the motivation to continue improving. Through professional guidance, personalized support, and consistent practice, every student can find a learning approach that works for them and make meaningful, lasting progress in French.
