I have been teaching French and Spanish languages for over eight years. My students range from toddlers to adults. I have lived and worked in France and Mexico.  Currently, I live  in Canada.
 I offer the following skills: Ability to engage students from a wide range of backgrounds, interactive lesson plans, good interpersonal  skills and a passion for languages. I am an active listener and team player. I like to do crafting and science experiments with my family. I also enjoy learning to cook different kind of dishes, lately I have made Asian dishes such as brown rice and eggplant. I like travelling and I have learnt  the culture of the languages that I teach where the languages that I speak are the mother tongues.
 I really love teaching, it is my passion!
