About Me
italki teacher since Nov 6, 2018InterestsWritingHistoryTravelReadingEnvironment & Nature
Je suis née en France. J'habite au Canada depuis 2009, d'abord à Vancouver puis à Montréal. J'ai un Master's en communication et Sciences Politiques et ensuite j'ai été chef de ma propre pâtisserie avant de devenir coach de langues certifiée. J'aime beaucoup voyager, vivre dans des pays étrangers (dernièrement: au Japon) et connaître différentes cultures.
I'm from France but I'm also Canadian, I've been living in Canada since 2009 (Vancouver then Montreal). I have a Master's degree in Communications and Political Science and I've also owned my own pastry shop before becoming a certified language coach. I love travelling, living abroad (recently: Japan) and discovering different cultures.Me as a Teacher
I'm a certified Neurolanguage Coach and also a cetified ESL Teacher but at the moment I'm focusing on French. I'd like to help you progress and explain the fundamentals and nuances of this beautiful language and allow you to become a confident speaker!
I've studied 2 languages at school and currently studying more (Spanish, Japanese, Italian) so I'm familiar with the learning process and I help my students find the path that works best for them. I'm very patient and curious about many topics. I like to keep the lessons relaxed and productive.
I encourage you to speak as much as you can!
I've helped many students prepare for the DELF, DALF, TEF, TCF.My lessons & teaching style
Si tu as un niveau intermédiaire et veut progresser ou entretenir ton français d'une façon détendue et intentionnelle, avec une coach à ton service, alors on va bien s'entendre 😊
Here on iTalki I offer relaxed and focused conversation sessions and exam preparation (TEF, TCF, TEFAQ, DELF B2, DALF C1 and C2), not full Neurolanguage coaching. When you book a package we create your learning plan together to structure our collaboration.
You'll speak most of the time (not me) and we'll work with resources you find interesting. In my sessions, you'll feel safe but also challenged so you can step out of your comfort zone and into the progress zone, little by little.My teaching material

Nous avons pratiqué sur différents sujets du tef, et après quelques cours, je me sens beaucoup plus à l'aise qu'avant. Cathy m'a beaucoup aidé par rapport à comprendre les critères de l'examen, à travailler ensemble sur les sujets que je trouve difficiles, et le plus important, à m'expliquer mes faiblesses à propos de la langue et aussi mes points forts. Pour les élèves qui se préparent pour un examen de Français, vous vous trompez pas si vous prenez des cours avec elle. Merci beaucoup Cathy!

Another good lesson! I have found my lessons with Cathy so far to be very beneficial. She is always patient and friendly and picks discussion materials that are interesting and well suited to my level.

Comme toujours, merci pour une bonne leçon! On a corrigé et discuté ensemble un texte que j'avais rédigé, et c'était vraiment bénéfique de voir plusieurs subtilités de la grammaire et du vocabulaire qui m'avaient échappé.

Great class! I learned several useful slang terms that I regularly encounter when trying to make sense of YouTube videos. Thanks Catherine!

Cathy answered a bunch of my random questions that I’ve compiled over the last few months. We discussed films, videos, and series that I’ve watched and she provided some additional recommendations. It was fun and helpful!
