Hi👋 I am a Canadian & Italian citizen, and I have lived in many countries

For the last 24 years, I have worked in finance, as a commodities and bonds trader.
I focus on that activity from Monday to Friday, 8 am until 12 pm NY time.
Then, afterwards, I teach French and Québécois to those who wish to learn
In 2017, I was hired as a French teacher by a university in Spain.
Since then I have given French courses in person and remotely.
Regardless of your level, I will be happy to assist you :)

I found Mr Normandeau to be a great tutor. I took lessons with him to revitalise my B2 level French and to reach C1 level. He proved to be a really open-minded conversation partner. He is a great listener and shows interest in a wide variety of topics. Every time I run out of topics, he was always ready to ask questions that kept the conversation going and engaging. He also regularly proposed topics by sending news articles in advance. I wrote numerous articles and essays to practice my writing skills as well. He helped me immensely in finding the correct word order and synonyms, in clarifying grammar as well as in improving the overall flow of my texts. I am now confident that I can take the DALF C1 test with ease. Thank you Mr Normandeau!

Monsieur Normandeau est un professeur très amusant. Nous avons fait un role-play, nous avons pratiqué la prononciation avec quelques textes précieuses. Je veux prendre plus leçons avec lui. Merci beaucoup. :) Je vous recommande de prendre des cours avec lui. Vous ne regretterez pas.
