FRENCH With Jes

Learn, and Sound French with Jes - Tailored private and small group classes

I’m a French Language Coachand a Creative Director residing between Montreal, Vancouver, New York, and Mexico. I grew up in the French Caribbean islands (Haïti), and lived between the Americas. I have been teaching French for 12 years to organizations such as The Montreal Chamber of Commerce, literacy centers, tutoring agencies, and privately. My specialization is working with leaders, academics, professionals, creative minds, as well as travellers, language enthusiasts, and people relocating for work. 

As a French Coach, I bring my cross-cultural, personal and professional experience to the craft of teaching. I’ve acquired coaching and mentoring in business, in the arts, and in sports. During my teens, I travelled for art camp, and competitive tennis, before establishing in Montreal to study. I hold a Teaching Certificate, a Professional MA in Project Management, and a BA in Fine Arts. Drawing, singing, and songwriting are at the core of my creative practice. In my role as a Creative Director, I thrive in partnering with businesses, proposing vision and initiatives to help ignite their brand, and turn it into an attractive experience for their audience, via original music, graphics and languages.

Why COLOURS & SOUND?

Learn, and Sound French with Jes - Tailored private and small group classes

To me, COLOURS, sums up the varied experiences that a person accumulates and develops, in relation to cultural, persona;, professional journeys. SOUND, is the unique expression through which a person chooses to present themselves in the world. Deciding to learn a new language broadens our view of the world, and of others. It makes us more knowledgeable, makes us feel sound, and that can create new opportunities for ourselves! Learning French with me will not only allow you to implement this mindset, but also help you develop intentional interactions in French. For you, I hope that confidence, and ease are what shine through when connect with others in French.
