About your french tutor
Hello, I'm Karine Longis McMillan, a French tutor with a Doctorate in Psychology in Education. My teaching philosophy revolves around creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students of all levels can thrive. I use interactive and personalized strategies to ensure student understanding and success. Let's learn French together! While I’ve always felt driven to be an educator, the joy I felt from facilitating the growth and development of the people I have met only reaffirmed my passion. Although I’ll continue to sharpen my teaching skills, I believe that my enthusiasm, positive attitude, and hands-on experience working with students also make me an excellent educator. I look forward to a career where I can help shape minds and make a difference in the lives of the people I meet.

As a French tutor, I believe in an engaging and creative teaching style that is tailored to the individual needs of each student. I am empathetic and patient, understanding that learning a new language can be challenging. I adapt my teaching methodology to ensure that all levels of students can excel, whether it be beginners or advanced learners. Through role-play scenarios and cultural projects, I assess understanding of Francophone cultures, allowing students to immerse themselves in the language. By focusing on real-world practice, I help students achieve proficiency in French, enabling them to excel in exams and study abroad at French-speaking universities. My goal is to help you achieve fluency in French by emphasizing practical language use and cultural understanding. Let's embark on this language learning journey together!
