I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Kim

Certified Tutor

Hello! I love teaching adults new languages and have learned several languages myself.

I completed a Bachelor of Arts at a university in Nova Scotia where I did a double major in French and English. I was also the president of the University's English Society for 1 year and I loved sharing my passion with others!

My adult language teaching journey began when I taught English in Japan after graduating from university. Being fully immersed in a new culture had its challenges but it was an incredible experience and it helped me to understand how teaching adults is very different from teaching children. When I returned to Nova Scotia I did private French tutoring and also volunteered with my local library with their English Adult Language Learning tutoring where I was paired with a newly immigrated family from Iran. I eventually moved to Montreal to start my career as a flight attendant. While living in Montreal I gained a more profound knowledge of the French language and improved my own speaking ability at the same time. In Montreal I met my husband, who is francophone, and now we have a son with whom we only speak French at home.

While in Montreal I worked for a company that had contracts with various government agencies teaching English for the SLE exams. I enjoyed working with members of the DND, Canada Research Counsel and Parks Canada.

With my extensive life experience in tutoring and learning, I understand the challenges and can't wait to help you achieve your language goals!
