About Me

Hello! I'm Ali: a born and raised Canadian with a passion for learning and teaching. I work as an ESL professor in a college in Montreal: a beautiful, multilingual paradise of a city! I speak English, French, and I'm currently learning Spanish. In my free time I love to snowboard, hike, read, write, cook, eat, watch Netflix, and practice/teach yoga. Interacting with and getting to know new people is also a big part of who I am, which is why I love teaching and learning about others. I'm a language learner myself and I am on this journey with you.Me as a Teacher
I did both my Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in language teaching education at McGill University. Between my two degrees, I taught English abroad in South East Asia (mainly Hong Kong) and France, experiencing and learning about new cultures, food, and ways of living. I'm fascinated by different languages and how they are connected to who we are.
I am qualified and have experience in :
- Conversational English
- Basic English
- Business English
- Academic Writing
- IELTS
- TOEFL
- English Language & Literature
- Resume/CV building
I provide lots of specific, individual feedback, and make sure our lessons are connected and we reinforce what we've learned.My lessons & teaching style
I like to provide students with a communicative, student-centred learning experience. I have a fantastic online teaching program that helps the student better understand and visualize the language; there are reviews and extra exercises I can give to you that support what we learn in class. I’ve worked extensively with all levels and as a result, I’ve developed a strong ability to differentiate materials and techniques. I like to get to know/understand my students’ language backgrounds to really understand errors and how we can fix them. I bring compassion and rigour to the classroom to foster and maintain a supportive environment in which each student feels safe yet challenged.My teaching material

The class was fantastic. Ali is a professional teacher. She uses very useful and appropriate materials and explains everything in a clear manner. My daughter loves her teaching style and she said that that moment she understood what she couldn't see while having been taught at school. Ali teaches academic writing at high standards!
