About
I'm a native French speaker and an Ontario Certified Teacher with more than 10 years of one-on-one tutoring and classroom experience in the Trillium Lakelands, York Region and Toronto District School Boards. I studied in France and hold an honours degree with a French specialization.
I founded Atelier Français so that every student gets French made to measure, and learns to enjoy it.

Both. In-person lessons are available in the Haliburton Highlands and Lakelands area. Online lessons run by video call for students anywhere in Ontario.
Mainly Grades 1–12 in French Immersion and Core French. I also work with university students and adults.
Most lessons are 60 minutes. 30 and 45-minute lessons work well for younger students or shorter attention spans.
A package is a set of 10 weekly lessons paid upfront at a lower rate per lesson. Your student keeps the same weekly time slot for the whole package.
Yes. While studying in France, I trained in the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference), the scale the DELF is built on. I offer practice in all four parts of the exam: listening, reading, writing and speaking.
Please give at least 24 hours' notice to reschedule. Lessons cancelled with less notice, or missed, are charged in full, except in a genuine emergency.
After lessons, parents can get a short email covering what we worked on, how it went, and the practice for the week.
Yes. I also offer parent consultations, learning assessments, French for professionals and French presenting. See Beyond the lesson or send a message.
