Michele A.
Hello/Bonjour!
My name is Michèle and I am a tri-lingual communications, language and culture professional.
I am francophone, but I also speak Mandarin, Chinese, and have experience teaching ESL, FSL, and language confidence to learners from ages 4 to 94 and everything in between.
I work in Communications and Engagement at McMaster University and I teach French at Mohawk College.
I have a Master of Arts in Communications and Culture and a graduate diploma in Asian studies, as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Communications Media and Western Society and Culture, with a diploma in Modern Standard Chinese Language and Culture.
I am currently pursuing a degree at the University of Toronto in Asian Studies, with a focus on China.
I have been educated in French, English and Mandarin, and I am interested in helping students who are motivated to overcome their shyness with learning and using a language. I also teach grammar, sentence structure, essay writing, critical theory, and editing.
I can also tutor in specific subjects outside of the core language curriculum, including some social sciences and humanities subjects, business basics, some history, some philosophy, and cultural and communications theory.
I focus on confidence-building, because it is the root of all learning, and a confident person is not afraid to be curious!
