Introduction

SpeaksEnglish, French

♥A complete program which is then adapted to your needs and desire – not just a conversation class ♥Neurodivergent and queer safe-space ♥Adapted to any level ♥Forget textbook French ; come get to know the Francophonie instead ♥Special Québec french available upon request ♥Practice topics include arts, culture, history, social matters and science and is tailored to you ♥Free cultural activities (story telling, poetry workshop, etc) for regulars ♥Classes on core elements of the language to grow your understanding and language skills ♥Activities and games to ease you into using the language early on ♥Creative and informative projects tailored to your interests to make real, active use of the language ♥Special units created just for you according to your needs ♥A flexible class that keeps space for help with school work, preparing for tests or special situations or doing something leisurely if desired ♥Reading sessions ♥Educative games ♥Fun speaking and listening activities ♥Regular practice activities ♥A personalized page curated just for you (yes, I make and maintain one from scratch for EACH student) with all your notes, materials, progress, and activities. Said page contains the following : ☼A copy of the whiteboard used in class, so you can take notes of new words or see all the examples after class. No need to worry about copying what's on the board during class. ☼Interactive notes on all the core material, grammar, etc that includes audio ☼You can request audio notes of anything, anytime ☼A library of practice material to read, listen to and watch, selected for your level, age group and interest ☼Optional homework and practice activities ☼A copy of your lesson plan ♥Language journaling ♥This is not your typical France-centric class. We limit the use of artificial texts in practice activities. We go beyond the texts about buying croissants and seeing the Eiffel Tower and talk about many interesting topics, we use real-life French material selected for your interests and level. ♥This is not an artificial-textbook-French class. We learn real French, with diversity in mind. We welcome and appreciate the different ways people speak. ♥We take the occasion to learn/talk about interesting things and get creative! ♥This class uses inclusive language that gives back an equal place to women in the language. I now include common neopronouns as well. This is the French we now find in many schools and museums, and it's growing rapidly. Knowing these developments will not impair your abilities. ♥French is QUIRKY, but in this class, it's a fun thing! I love to nerd out about the why and how whenever possible – feel free to question the language, here! ♥ French doesn't have to be hard. We'll avoid learning things by heart and focus on learning the concepts and the most efficient approach whenever we can! As for things that you just have to know, I firmly believe that practice will do most of the work for you so come use your French with me! Class rules : → Time slots on the calender are the times for which I know I will normally be available. Other times may be available, but they can vary or change every few months. Feel free to message me so we can work out a schedule for you! → Class planning works best if I know your intentions. Of course, life is unpredicatable and things can change, but if you know you want to take ongoing classe or take classes for a set amount of time, it can help me plan better if you let me know! → If you can't make it to class, let me know as soon as you can, then we can reschedule. If you are more than 10 minutes late on a 25 minutes session or 15 minutes late on an hour session then the class will be closed and charged, as per AmazingTalker's policy. → *Important* Small groups are welcome to take a class together, so if you want a single class for two or three siblings, parent and child or to take your own class with a friend, for instance, we can arrange something. However, I need you to talk to me first, so we can plan accordingly. Duos and trios with a significant gap in level or age are a lot of fun, but require of additional work on my part. As such, an increase of up to 25% may apply depending on the situation. If that's your case, please message me so we can work out a plan and price that works for both of us. → I care a lot to remain as flexible as I possibly can, however, I can only accomodate a limited number of students. For that reason, I will prioritize students who are generally regular in terms of time and frequency of their classes.

    I have lots of opportunities to practice pronunciation in Catherine's class and she is very patient in helping me to pronounce it correctly

    With Catherine's instruction, my son is making steady progress on his French. Previously my son was 3 years behind his classmates. Now he has caught up with his classmates on French. It is a miracle. We do appreciate.
