Michelle

Michelle was born in England to North American parents and grew up multilingually, learning English, French, Italian and German as a young child living and being educated in Europe.

From attending boarding school near Bruxelles to extensive time spent with her French godmother on her propety in France - herself a history and geography teacher - Michelle grew up immersed in multiple languages and cultures.

The background has made Michelle an expert at understanding language and how it functions, which also makes her a great teacher.

For her university studies, Michelle attended the University of Toronto, specializing in French Language, Literature and Linguistics.

The classroom teaching experience was acquired by working as an assistant in a French immersion school during her studies. Michelle has been tutoring French on and off for 5 years, with children and adults alike.

She loves to share her passion for learning French, and particularly loves to help children improve their skills for a better classroom experience.

Comments from parents include increased confidence, greater fluency in reading, and greater engagement in the classroom.
