I specialize in tutoring French to Adults including those who want to get French accreditations set by the French Ministry of Culture. My international experience in this field covers students who want to register in French universities as well as public servants and businessmen who need to improve their oral language and/or their writing skills (grammar, vocabulary). From 2004 to 2010, I was a French as a Second Language (FSL) instructor at Alliance Française de Toronto (Canada) and I also was in charge of providing one-on-one and group classes to Members of the Provincial Parliament (MPP) of Ontario and high-ranking Canadian public servants in various Canadian Federal Government Departments, Ontario Provincial Government Ministries and Ontario Court of Justice to assess their French language skills, help them in their job and prepare them to successfully take the Canadian federal and provincial language accreditation exams. Since then, my strong educational and professional backgrounds and broad knowledge of terminology in several fields (I hold a Master's in History, a Master's in Financial Management and a Bachelor of Science in Physics in addition to the Oracle Certified Professional Developer certification) have been a great asset for those who want to deepen their knowledge of the Langue de Molière in oral communication and/or writing, whatever their field of interest is. I would be more than happy to work with you with responsibility, respect and confidentiality.
