FRENCH FOR PROFESSIONALS

Prepared to Meet You Where You Are

Serving as both, a French teacher and a Creative Director stem from a unique profile, combined with an innate curiosity to create, and to collaborate. I’ve been established in Quebec since 2001, I now share my time between Montreal, Vancouver, and Mexico. Growing up in French Caribbean island, Hayti,  I seasonally lived between the Americas. My 10+ years experience as a French teacher to professionals include teaching business owners via The Montreal Chamber of Commerce,  Montreal based c-suite creatives of a global design experience-production agency, agents of the federal government, teams  within the  corporate workforce, L-A based actors, and many more professionals relocating. My teaching journey started at a literacy center, and over the years I’ve specialized in helping leaders, and entrepreneurs to thrive at work, and in life.

I bring my cross-cultural, personal, and professional experience to the craft of teaching. I’ve acquired coaching and mentoring in business, in arts, and in sports. In my teens, I was fortunate to explore Southern Ontario attending Arts Camp, then travelled playing competitive Tennis before establishing in Montreal to study. I hold a DEC in Visual Arts, a BA in Set Design, a Professional MA in Project Management, and a Teaching Certificate. Driven by culture, education and innovation, my role as an Artist-Creative Director brings me joy when I partner with small businesses and make their brand stand out using my creativity. 

French with Jes!

To me, COLOURS sums up the varied experiences that a person accumulates and develops in relation to cultural, personal, and 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, which makes us feel sound, and that can create new opportunities for ourselves. Learning with me will help you implement an appropriate mindset, and develop ways for you to interact intentionally in French. Together, we’ll work to make you assertive, and reach ease when you connect with the world in French.
