What's included

12 live meetings
10 in-class hours
Homework
1-2 hours per week. For the first few lessons, I provide a vocabulary list to study before the following class. Then, I move on to more complex homework. They are not mandatory, but I strongly suggest them to progress faster!

Class Experience

It is a pleasure for me to customize my lessons to your needs and interests. With over 15 years of teaching experience, I have taught students from k-12 (online and in person), therefore, I have hundreds of games and material adaptable to all ages, interests, levels of energy and needs, all available at my finger tips!

Now on-going classes means that you are committed to coming to class AT THE SAME TIME AND DAY every week. On-going classes are cheaper because I know you will be there weekly. If you cannot be present at your regular time ONCE IN A WHILE, you must cancel that specific class as soon as possible and contact me. Do not reschedule it yourself (even if the system lets you). 
If you have a schedule that moves frequently, you cannot select on-going classes. We can talk and set up one-time classes at times and days that work for both of us.

Online French tutoring services can be useful for anyone who wants to either learn French from scratch or who wants to improve their language skills. We can learn French through songs, poems, simple passages, historical documents, or simply using any homework your child might bring to class. Parents or older family members are welcome to assist during the lesson. It can always be fun to practice with your child after class, but remember, the focus is on your child's development.

 I love to hear from parents or students before class. Please communicate with me by e-mail and enlist learning goals or any expectations you may have. I also appreciate a little summary of your child's personality, previous experiences and interests. For example, if your daughter is an "Elsa" fan, or if your son is passionate about "Ultraman," I love to get my puppets ready so that we can all discuss together. 

For older students, I can bring music from a specific genre to provide an engaging lesson for them. 
Here are examples of the first topics taught in this class. I will teach topics in the following order. Time will vary depending of the student’s capacity and previous knowledge.

My availabilities are out many months ahead so you can reserve all the time slots you desire. The class is ON-GOING for 12 weeks. You must sign up again before the end if you want to keep your place. 

Here are examples of the first topics taught in this class. I will teach topics in the following order. Time will vary depending of the student’s capacity and previous knowledge.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Palm Beach Atlantic University
Hello! My name is Amelie Vallieres and I am glad you stopped by my profil! It would be a joy to have class with you. I love to teach, it is my passion! I have been teaching since 2014 after graduated with a bachelor in Education in the State of Florida. In addition, I have conducted classes in schools and online on various platforms. I truly enjoy teaching online and build connections with children around the world. I, myself, was born in Canada, moved to United States for 12 years, then move again back home, in the French speaking province of Québec. My teaching philosophy is simple,  if the lessons are engaging, then students will remember the content longer. I am so excited to offer my expertise on Outschool!

Beside teaching, I love to learn languages and to travel. I was born in Québec, Canada, therefore I spoke French and English as a child. I have also lived abroad for multiple months in France, Peru, Germany and Switzerland. I am now living in Valleyfield, Québec, Canada.

I am so excited to be here and teach! See you in my classroom!
