Personal Description:

Hello all!
My name is Fabienne. I'm a native French speaker originally from France (Strasbourg). I've been teaching French literacy with the CBE for numerous years and have over 27 years of experience tutoring, translating and preparing trips for travelers willing to visit and learn about France.
I spent 20 years in the French Navy as an Air Traffic Controller Instructor. I live in NW Calgary. I would be delighted to be able to help you or your child to speak my beautiful language.

Tutoring Experience:

French literacy specialist (reading and grammar) ; French numeracy with the CBE since 2012.
Preschool teacher: Oxford Learning Center (Crowfoot).
Specialized in tutoring university courses: French 200s, 300s, 400s courses
French Navy: ATC instructor ( air traffic control-ground, tower, approach)
Numerous years tutoring students in France.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is oriented to find the best technique adapted to my students; sometimes, it's about confidence, sometimes, it's about grammar or reading. Depending on the personality, I choose to focus on developing critical thinking- I use books, games, ipad sometimes and like to put the emphasis on speaking, which is the ultimate goal of learning a new language. I encourage a lot my students and value their feedback. I am very adaptable and flexible. I have experience tutoring students with dyslexia, ADHD, Autism, Asperger's and Tourette syndrome.
