Salut! I am an upcoming graduate of the French Studies program at York, and I have a strong passion for FSL education! I believe speaking French is a blessing for both work and connection with our Francophone neighbours, and I am excited to help your child achieve this. In my free time, I enjoy gaming and collecting vinyl records.

Bonjour! My name is Ael, and I’m a student at Wilfrid Laurier School of Business. I’ve had the chance to live in three different countries — France, China, and Canada. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports, listening to music, and spending time with my friends. What I love most about teaching is sharing my passion for the French language while making classes dynamic, effective, and enjoyable!
