Hi there! I'm Malcolm. I come from Nova Scotia, on the east coast of Canada, and now I live in Montreal. I grew up speaking both English and French at home: my father is Belgian, my mother is (anglophone) Canadian. I've always loved languages, and I'm learning Dutch and Italian myself. Among my hobbies are reading, writing, playing music, hiking, and cooking. I have an Honours degree in Classics, for which I studied Latin and Ancient Greek, plus ancient and medieval philosophy. I studied quite a bit of modern philosophy too. I've also worked as a student translator from Latin to English.

I took several French classes with Malcolm during my preparation for the TCF Canada exam. He helped me develop my speaking skills and gain confidence to speak about a diverse set of topics. Every class was different and tailored to my needs. Thanks to him, I was able to get a B2 at the TCF Canada and now he’s helping me prepare for job interviews. Look no further and book a class with him!

Ik heb nu een aantal lessen gehad en ik merk al verbetering, heel erg prettig dat Malcolm mij alles uit kan leggen in het Nederlands! Ik raad het zeker aan om lessen te volgen bij Malcolm.

I've been able to improve my French a lot after several lessons with Malcolm, especially my speaking skills. Malcolm always makes me feel very comfortable to speak and to make mistakes - which makes me feel more confident to express myself elsewhere. I am really grateful for having him as a teacher.

J’ai vraiment aimé mon expérience travail avec Malcolm. Grâce à son approche patiente, calme, et encourageante, je me sens beaucoup plus à l’aise en parlant français. Il est aussi toujours prêt à ajuster son approche pour répondre au mieux aux besoins de ses étudiants.

I had a great time in my first full lesson! He helped me read old french literature that was particularly poetic and dense. Really helped clear my stumbling block!
