Stephanie Maidens

I’m Stephanie Maidens. I have 6 years tutoring experience in both English and French. I have earned an HBA and I attended French School from JK to grade 8. I can communicate in French at all levels and in all areas (reading, writing and speaking). I am well aware that each student learns differently whether because of neurodivergency, environment or skill level. I believe it is my responsibilty to learn the students needs and adapt accordingly. For example if a student learns better by listening and then doing, this would be how I would structure the class. I would also include an area of interest of the student. If s/he is interested in history, the course I present would include a historical subject. I find this increases a students motivation and efforts. I am also able to assists students with school work. I have knowledge and skills in grammar, verbs, vocabulary in French and English. As the French differs in the “rules”, it is important to understand them for proper communication. I love learning from my students as well. There are so many different students from different place and cultures, I expect I will be learning as much as I am teaching. I look forward to meeting you. Book now

Kamel Talbi

I am Kamel Talbi. I have been studying french language for more than 30 years. First as a second language before and at high school , then as a primary language for university and work. During these years , I had the opportunity to go through many exceptions as french is called the language of exceptions. Either in grammar, conjugation or orthography; I am here to provide a full curriculum for anyone wanting to master the language of Moliere. I know most people are afraid of its conjugation especially; I can assured that I mastered that around 30 years ago, so I can provide a great method of learning this in months. Either you are a beginner , intermediate, or you have special topics to dive through; I am most welcome to be part of that journey and I cross fingers to be up to your expectations. At last , I wish for everyone to succeed and thrive. Thank you.
