About Me
italki teacher since Jan 22, 2019Interest topicTravelLegal ServicesPets & AnimalsHistoryFood
¡Hola! Bonjour! Hello! My name is Jacques I grew up in a multi-lingual household and I have a passion for languages and cultures. In university, I majored in anthropology and linguistics before later completing my master’s degree in education. In my personal life, I have traveled through some one hundred countries and territories, and I have lived in France, the USA, Canada, India, Saudi Arabia, and Malta. As a teacher, I empathize a lot with my students! Living and traveling abroad has regularly challenged me to improve my language skills; currently, I am focusing on improving my Arabic, Hindi, Italian, German, and Portuguese. I guess you could say that I’m a bit of a language nerd!Me as a Teacher
I have been a modern foreign language teacher (French, Spanish, and English) for nearly two decades. I started my teaching career as a business language instructor in the oil and gas industry before moving to teach in international schools in 2004. Since then, I have worked with children aged 3-18 (i.e., pre-school through high school). I am state certified to teach French, Spanish, and English to students of all ages, and as part of that process, I have passed state, national, and international background checks. For over a decade now, I have also worked as a trainer for modern foreign language teachers and to date, I have trained over a thousand teachers in more than sixty countries.My lessons & teaching style
As your teacher, I will focus on three main skill areas with you: productive skills, receptive skills, and — perhaps most importantly — interactive skills. For those who prefer help with grammar or accent reduction, I specialize in those areas as well. Above all, I will create an environment that is safe and comfortable for you and your level of language learning. Everything will be personalized and adapted to your needs.
For structured lessons, I will provide you with learning material so that you can continue your practice and extension work outside of class. For grammar workshops, I will go through a targeted lesson that will demystify concepts and build on your native language base(s).My teaching material

Jacques is by far the best language teacher I’ve ever had. He’s really thoughtful and it shows that he likes exchanging knowledge. I look forward to learn more from him.
