Je suis Monique!
I earned my PhD in science from the Sorbonne in Paris. French is my mother language. English is my second language.
As a migrant to Canada, I encountered firsthand the intricate blend of these two languages, navigating between them. And I uncovered distinctive ways to streamline the learning process for both.
Throughout my career (initially in the field of science) in education, I dedicated myself to discovering strategies that would facilitate the learning of French, making it as accessible and gratifying as possible.
My teaching approach is founded on a combination of practical experience and logical principles. Having instructed numerous students and professionals, I firmly believe that bilingualism is an achievable goal for everyone.
