About Kay
Bonjour ! My name is Kay and I am a native French speaker originally from Quebec, now proudly living here in Calgary. French is not just a language to me, it is my identity, my culture, and a tool for connection that I love sharing with others.
Growing up in a fully francophone environment, I learned firsthand the beauty, rhythm, and nuances of the language. Over the years, I have helped friends, colleagues, and students navigate the challenges of learning French, from mastering tricky pronunciation and nasal vowels to understanding complex grammar structures.
I know how intimidating it can be to speak a new language out loud, which is why I focus on creating a warm, patient, and completely judgment-free environment in all my classes.
Whether you are an absolute beginner looking to build your very first foundational blocks, a student prepping for exams, or an adult wanting a fun, supportive group space to practice conversational fluency, I am here to guide you every step of the way. I can't wait to meet you and help you achieve your French language goals!

1. Private 1-on-1 Lessons (For A1 Absolute Beginners)
If you are starting completely from scratch, group sessions can feel overwhelming.
In our private lessons, we will focus on the foundational building blocks: core vocabulary, essential verbs (être, avoir), clear pronunciation, and basic sentence structures.
My goal is to build your foundation so you can confidently graduate into conversation settings!
2. Private 1-on-1 Lessons (For A2 & Up)
If you are already past the beginner stage but want specialized attention, this is for you. We can use these private sessions to deep-dive into complex grammar, review personal weaknesses, practice targeted interview prep, or tackle specific school homework at your own pace.
3. Weekly Conversation Groups (For A2 High-Beginners to B2 Intermediates)
To keep discussions fair, engaging, and stress-free, I run separate, small-group sessions split by level:
* The A2 "Confidence Builder" Group: A slower, highly supported space with visual vocabulary prompts and guided sentence starters. Perfect if you know basic grammar but freeze when speaking!
* The B1/B2 "Fluency" Group: A fast-paced, interactive workshop focused on native expressions, topical debates, and real-world audio/news discussions.
All online sessions are hosted via Google Meet, utilizing an interactive, shared Google Doc that serves as your permanent, live-updated vocabulary and correction notebook.
Let’s unlock your French fluency together—send me a message to reserve your spot!

We’ve known Karine now for 9 years we hired Karine to babysit our son when he was only 3 months. We chose to interview Karine because our son was going to attend the francophone school board and we never looked back from day one of meeting Karine. She’s wonderful with children and has helped Alec to continue to grow and improve his French when they are together.
