About Karine

My name is Karine. I come from Calgary. I am a certified French teacher with over 20 years experience: 12 years in the classroom, 8 years as a private tutor and 4 years as a tutor online. I love teaching students French as a second language, as well as helping struggling learners with reading, writing and grammar. I have found that many struggling learners are lacking a SOLID BASE to create the necessary foundation to learn to read. This is why I have also created my own Video Course reading program that teaches children A to Z, step-by-step how to read in French as I know many parents that send their children to French Immersion may not be fluent in French themselves. I was born in France and we moved to Canada when I was 5 years old so French is my native language. In Calgary, I continued learning French at French immersion schools and went to the University of Calgary; got an Education degree, with a minor in French. After university, I went traveling. I visited Budapest and landed my first teaching job as a kindergarten teacher at a private international school. I realized then that this was the perfect career for me. I was learning just as much from the students as they were from me and I loved it! When I returned to Canada, I got a job with the Calgary Board of Education teaching first grade at my old elementary school. It was in those ten years that I developed my expertise in teaching French literacy skills. Once I started my family, I wanted to stay home with my two children. Missing teaching inspired me to start my own tutoring practice. I tutored for over eight years in my home; helping students in all elementary levels with French reading/writing, grammar, math and homework. During this time, I realized that what I loved about private tutoring was that I could really help each student succeed with their learning and how they learn. It was wonderful to see how they progressed and became confident learners. Since Covid, I have been tutoring online. I felt hesitant at first with this as I was unsure about how the building of connection with my students would go but I have found that it works very well. It is just as easy to create a rapport with students online, while they are in the comfort of their own homes. With technology too nowadays, we can screen share and do everything we need to learn together online. My mission as a teacher and tutor is to create confident, resourceful and persistent learners that enjoy learning a new language.

I love teaching students French as a second language, as well as helping struggling learners with reading, writing, grammar and their homework. I teach all levels but my specialty is early French literacy (kindergarten to grade 4): teaching French speaking, reading and writing to beginners and struggling learners. I have created a reading and writing program that is geared specifically in helping struggling learners and beginner readers. It uses all the pillars in the science of reading method. It focuses on oral language, phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. I have found it is truly the best way for children to learn to read so that they have a solid foundation from the start. As a tutor, it is very important for me to create a connection with each student and to make learning fun. I want the students to feel comfortable, empowered and confident in their learning. For the younger students; we play games, sing and practice movements to learn vocabulary. A typical lesson for a student in grade one would be first focusing on some vocabulary and speaking (through games, songs and movement), then working with phonics and putting sounds together, moving to words and how to break the words up in syllables and finally writing some simple words like a 'spelling test' but not a memorized one. Students need to be able to show the concepts they learned in the reading (decoding) then writing it (encoding) through syllable and sound.
