French Second Language Teacher eager to help you feel confident and comfortable in French!

Bonjour! My name is Allison Degeer! I am a French Teacher with over 4 years of experience in teaching and tutoring! While English is my first language, I am fluent in French and love helping others become more comfortable and confident in their French Language abilities! I have a Bachelors degree in Second Language Teaching - specializing in French as a Second Language from the University of Ottawa and a Bachelors in Education from Lakehead University! I am an Ontario Certified Teacher currently teaching Core French to grades 4-8 but would love the opportunity to teach French Immersion! I think learning a second language is so valuable and can help you succeed in so many aspects! Whether you need help with homework, conversational French, Listening skills in FSL, or just want to enhance your French skills, I am here to support you! I'm so excited to get started!

I am a dedicated French Second Language teacher who is passionate about creating inclusive, engaging, and supportive learning environments where all students can succeed. I strive to build students’ confidence by using clear routines, visual supports, and meaningful oral language opportunities that make French accessible and enjoyable. I thoughtfully adapt instruction to meet diverse learning needs and focus on real-life communication rather than perfection. Through patience, consistency, and encouragement, I foster a positive classroom culture that promotes risk-taking, growth, and a genuine appreciation for the French language and Francophone culture. I am committed to continuous growth and welcome collaboration with students, friends, families, and colleagues to support lifelong language learning!!
