Teaching real French, using recording devices, movies, grammar books, songs, hand writing

Methodology

Students starting at 5 year old, up to late adult, can learn French in a highly interactive way with me. I first evaluate your level, your objectives, then quickly correct your mistakes. I give homework along the way for the next meeting. Sometimes, I use board games or six sided dice to teach. I can teach Math and a lot of other subjects, in a French Immersion setting.

Background

I raised 2 children who are now trilingual. I tutor local (West Toronto) children and adults as my main activity , from home or in their home. It has been 30 years I spread a thirst for knowledge around me, in the 15 countries i lived in. I tutored Ecuadorian, Russian, Hong-Hong/Chinese, Pakistanis, Indians among the most recent.

PhD-based care:
Because of the education and care I provided my kids with, my family is an academic and knowledge success. My own son skipped forward 1 grade, does logic puzzles for fun, talks science like a kid 5 years older, and will probably become an engineer in robotics. My daughter is trilingual, social, strong-minded, ready and eager to take on the world.
I always try to make the best of any situation in a positive atmosphere, with humour. Jacques Dutronc wrote a song “Merde in France” which says a lot about the silly rules people fill their head with. I have a very straightforward attitude based on communication and no non-sense.
I believe in care by keeping busy with activities stimulating memory and all neurons. I never got bored in my life and nobody around me can. Any interest can be the basis of any learning (I learnt English from a game in the 80s). Any environment provides particular opportunities in a learning objective. All have counting items, counting words (I wrote my PhD about that subject). All have colors, visual, audio, kinesthetic, smell and taste components. When you add good feeling, understanding, deep listening, good food and pleasurable activities, positive thinking, living enlightened is automatic, unavoidable. I love sharing my knowledge, traveling, discovering other cultures, enriching each other. White night full gaming, plane, train, car chess and card games. Museum, monuments, architecture, world history, gastronomy, arts, etc. I did it all, due to my international childhood.
After a scientific background, I got a MBA from Paris, a Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner diploma in 1993 and a PhD from France in 1995 about language and management, statistics and IT.
