Iselin Martial N.

I have been teaching conversational French to youth and adult for the past 10 years.In part, I learnt French this way, and have spent the most part of my youth and adult life where French wasn't the primary language, though I am privileged to have had friends and family who are French speaking.I found myself teaching French to the English speakers and English to the French speakers.We would just talk, and I would encourage them to speak freely, and then later on, we will correct their grammar, vocabulary and understanding of the language

With English as my first language, I've been able to understand the difficulties and questions beginners ask themselves while learning in French and know beginner pitfalls. I have guided and still guide many from zero to B2/B1 over the years, with my Egyptian and Syrian colleagues being my most recent "achievement"

With good TCF scores, I was contacted by a number of people wanting to write the test to give them intensive classes. More so, we would spend days where we speak only French with speaking/writing goals and mock immersion days.

From A1 to B2, I have guided many to pass this exam using clear exam frameworks for speaking and writing, focusing on what matters and expanding their grammar and vocabulary in record time.I have north of 8 years experience in this

I work in a customer facing environment in Montreal, and have to be bilingual to do that as I carter to French clients.I hold meetings, make presentations, write emails in French amongst others.In my roles as a mentor for Udacity students and a mentor on OpenClassrooms(a french platform where I mentored people from France) which I held for many years, I was constantly interacting professionally in French.I've spent north of 5 years sharing my knowledge, an what I consider best practices where we write emails, pitch ideas and presentations, and run scenario games amongst other activities.

I have worked with language institutions since 2020 to prepare candidates for this test, helping with test structure, question approach, helping students improve scores efficiently.

Having passed this myself and scoring C1 in all components, I have taught test strategies like timing control, structured responses and note systems amongst others since 2020.
