InterestsFoodMedical & HealthcareTravel
I am a curious, ever-learning person who enjoys traveling and immersing herself in other cultures. I love to exercise and stay active through biking, swimming, playing tennis and volleyball. I also enjoy dancing, and could not imagine my life without music and dance! Last, I take great pleasure in cooking, and even greater pleasure in eating and trying new dishes. I hold two master degrees, one in Business Administration (MBA), and the other in Liberal Studies, with a focus in philosophy. I also hold a CELTA and a certificate: Enseigner le français langue étrangère aujourd'hui-Avancé. I am a native French and Haitian Creole speaker, and I studied Spanish. I am currently learning Slovene.

I felt delighted after the session with Valerie, she quickly perceived the aspects of my English I need to improve and gave me her recommendations. I will be back after some practice. Thanks!

Valerie is wonderful! Class always feels meaningful and a great mix of planned and flexible/organic content. She is extremely encouraging, knowledgeable, and just plain easy to talk to. I'm always impressed how she assesses my performance in the target language and gives me meaningful items to work on between classes. She makes it look effortless, but I can assure you that it takes a lot of expertise and empathy to develop and manage a class the way that Valerie does.

Valérie est ma professeure préférée. Nos conversations sont si intéressantes que je suis toujours surprise quand on arrive à la fin du cours. Chaque fois qu’on se rencontre, je sens que je m'améliore et je sais que mon français a beaucoup progressé grâce à elle. Tout le monde aurait de la chance de l'avoir comme professeur. Merci pour tout ce que tu as fait, Valérie !

Valerie is always so encouraging and friendly in our lessons. She does a great job remembering things I've shared before to ask me about them (in practicing conversation). She provides helpful error correction in the moment so I don't fossilize any incorrect phrasings. She teaches grammatical concepts as they come up naturally in my speaking. Highly recommend.
