Bonjour ! I’m Ismail, a native French and Arabic speaker with a multicultural journey spanning Morocco, Canada, and Brazil. Born in Fes, gowing up and pursuing my studies in Montreal, and living in Brazil for the last 7 years have given me a deep appreciation for languages and the connections they create. I’m a polyglot who speaks 5 languages, so I understand the journey that you’re on.
My experience as a humanitarian interpreter has taught me the power of language to break barriers and build understanding. Now, I bring this same passion to teaching, helping students not only learn French but also immerse themselves in its rich culture and nuances.
Me as a Teacher
With 7 years of teaching experience, I’ve helped students around the world achieve their language goals, whether it's passing the TCF exam, preparing for immigration or traveling confidently
I tailor each lesson to your needs, understanding your objectives, strengths, and challenges. My teaching approach is communication-focused and blends culture, art, and real-life scenarios to create a dynamic and immersive learning experience.
Patience, creativity, and encouragement are at the core of my teaching style. I focus on building your confidence while making French fun and accessible.
I believe every student already has what they need to succeed; my role is to help you discover it
My lessons & teaching style

Ismail is calm, patient and professional. He consistently encourages me to speak French. His lessons and materials are highly effective and insightful. He expertly corrects my pronunciation and grammar while offering practical advice. Class with him is engaging and enjoyable. He truly understands my struggles with broken French and always offers better, more natural ways to express myself.

Ismael is a great tutor. He clearly explained how the sessions would be structured and how the resources would help me. He takes the time to listen to my interests and adjusts the flow of the discussion to make the learning experience more engaging and motivating. I am looking forward to our future lessons!

I just had my second French class, and it was a great experience! I feel like my teacher and I connected even better this time. He was very patient with my beginner-level French and helped me with conversation, reading, and grammar (especially articles). I really appreciate how he always corrects my mistakes in a way that helps me remember them and improve. Merci beaucoup et à bientôt :)
