As I mentioned in the profile section, I'm a retired French Canadian optometrist. If not for an autologous bone marrow transplant for Non-hodgkin's lymphoma done in February of 1998, I would still be practicing optometry as we speak.

I look forward to helping my students become fluent in French in a relatively short period of time.

As I mentioned in the profile section, I'm a retired French Canadian optometrist. If not for an autologous bone marrow transplant for Non-hodgkin's lymphoma done in February of 1998, I would still be practicing optometry as we speak. I'm grateful to the second chance I was given at life. It comes easy to me simplifying things when teaching something to people. I look forward to helping my students become fluent in French in a relatively short period of time.
In order to be accepted at the only French speaking optometry school in the world, I had to be proficient in all subjects matters. I've always helped my fellow classmates and the younger students following my footsteps by adapting my methods of teaching to suit each and every one of them individually.
Like I mentioned a little earlier; since there was 800 applicants/year for a spot at the école d'optométrie de l'Université de Montréal, and only 40 spots available, each of those students that were accepted, including myself, had to be proficient in all subject matters, which included the highest level of academic French curriculum.
I was born and raised in the province of New-Brunswick, Canada; the only officially bilingual in that country.
Like mentioned above, I adapt/aligned my teaching methods to suit my students on individual basis.
I'm looking forward to getting you to be fluent in the French language so then you can eventually use those new found skills while visiting any French speaking country on earth.
