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.

Karine provides high quality tutoring and is very professional. She organizes her sessions well utilizing technology effectively to keep her students engaged. My 9yr old daughter really enjoyed Karine’d teaching style and learned a lot!
I have known Karine for over 25 years and have full confidence in her abilities as a teacher. She has made French learning fun and engaging for my son who was refusing to learn the language. I can hear them laughing, playing and speaking French together. It has been the best experience! Karine is the most trustworthy person I know. She cares genuinely for her students to encourage and support their growth in a kind and patient way.
Thank you Karine!My son's French was below his grade after assessment. A couple of months after Karine's tutoring i noticed an improvement in his reading. Now my son reads, speaks, and writes French very well and wants to read his French books first before English. Feedback from his school teacher shows he's improved drastically. Karine's teaching online is convenient and effective. I will recommend Karine no matter your child's level.
AugustaAs a parent, having my kids learning with Karine was a an excellent experience because they were always happy to see her, they would laugh and feel happy with her, and their learning progressed considerably.
Karine was always kind, professional, flexible and easy going. Karine was always prepares with engaging lessons and learning strategies and yet also able to meet my kids' unique learning needs and build on what they were learning in school. We felt lucky for the opportunity to learn with her and I highly recommend Karine as an educator.
Here's what my kids have to say about her:
"Karine is an awesome tutor and educator. She is so charismatic and fun to work with. She is very fluent in both English and French and moves between them easily, and best of all she is so genuinely kind."
S, age 13
"Karine is really sweet and kind and she works with you step by step. She does not rush you and she is always encouraging and supportive."
C, age 10
Jennifer & FamilyKarine tutored my two daughters, Esmé (13) and Charlotte (10), in math and French. She was amazing. Always prepared with interesting and relevant lesson plans, and with the ability to engage my girls in the work. As a teacher she is knowledgeable, creative and patient. She was miraculously successful at being both mentor and friend to my children. They absolutely adore her, and we saw progress in their abilities under her tutelage. Karine was equally able to help them and keep them engaged in person and online.
We worked with Madame Karine when my daughter was struggling in grade 2.
She was having a hard time learning French speaking and the reading as well was a problem.
We were told it would be best to take her out of French immersion but I really wanted my daughter to learn French. We worked with Madame Karine for a year and a half and the results were amazing. Not only did my daughter start speaking and reading, but her confidence was also shining. She was actually starting to really enjoy the French. She moved up 5 levels in her reading and was now at grade level. Plus, she was participating in class which she had never done before. We couldn’t be happier. What we liked the most was how fun Madame Karine made the lessons and how comfortable and confident our daughter was with her. We also really liked the option of buying her reading program in order to enhance all that our daughter was learning. This really helped to speed her learning and reading along.
We are so grateful and would highly recommend Madame Karine. Thank you for all your help!!!
