Neuroscience-Based Learning: I apply strategies that boost memory retention and accelerate language acquisition, such as spaced repetition, active recall, and multisensory learning.
Structured Yet Flexible Lessons: I follow a clear learning path but adapt my methods based on student progress and feedback.

Practice Activities (20 min) – Speaking, listening, writing, or reading exercises to reinforce the lesson.

Andrea is an awesome teacher. I studied with her for one entire summer, three times a week - very intense. She always made it interesting and fun without ever compromising on quality. She knew exactly how much challenge I could take on any given day and was patient when I needed more support. She makes up tons of helpful examples on the spot. She always sends a summary of the lesson afterwards and additional resources for me to study. I learned so much.
Andrea was one of my university professors in a French language course. Although many years ago, I still recall her approachable, and engaged teaching manner. Really enjoyed being in her class.
I was a student of Andrea's in a french course at the University of Ottawa. My experience with Andrea as a teacher was incredibly positive. She is very hands on, encouraging students to think critically in order to properly understand terminology. She is very supportive and genuinely wants everyone to improve and succeed in their language learning goals. Andrea taught me different skills in studying and how to ensure understanding of diverse material in french. I highly recommend her as a prof as she will push you to do your best through her encouraging and positive style of teaching that promotes a personal motivation to learn.
I had the opportunity to study French with Andrea at the University of Ottawa. Andrea is very attentive to teaching. She has provided me with great resources to learn and improve all four skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. She also explains the concepts very well. She is very supportive and encourages me to speak French to improve my confidence. I would recommend Andrea if you are interested in learning and improving French.
