Hello families! My name is Edria and I am a certified teacher from Ontario, Canada! I have 8 years of teaching experience in the classroom and online education.

I have a degree in Psychology and French studies, with a specialization in teaching French. I began my teaching career in French as a Second Language (Core French) in middle school and transitioned into teaching French Immersion to Grade 1's. Outside the classroom, I have had the opportunity to work abroad, teaching and mentoring Canadian students during film productions. In 2020, I co-founded a Nonprofit Organization that provides free computer programming and English courses to children and youth in need. I believe that education is a right, and it must be accessible to all. 

I have a great passion for languages! I am currently learning German and Greek (simultaneously!). I speak English, French, and Albanian. I believe that learning a new language can be daunting and exciting at the same time. That is why my teaching philosophy is to remain adaptable and flexible for each student's needs, creating a safe environment for them to participate and learn with ease. Learning should be fun and engaging, and I strive my best to create a space where my students are enjoying their learning experience. 

In addition to languages, my other passion is to travel and learn about different cultures and food. I am also an animal lover and have a cat that walks on a leash! I take great pride and joy in taking care of animals. Some of my classes are even catered towards cat lovers! 

I look forward to meeting you soon and learning together!
