Tina A
Dynamic and Experienced Native French Tutor for All Ages and Levels!
Bonjour!
I'm Tina! Originally from Paris, France, where I lived most of my life, I’ve been living overseas for the past 8 years and currently in beautiful British Columbia, Canada!
Although my main career for the past 16 years has been tennis coaching, I’ve been tutoring students in English and French for almost as long. From complete beginners to advanced levels, children to adults, group and private lessons, I love the variation and finding new ways to make lessons fun and adapted to each student’s own needs and expectations!
I’ve been a student myself, learning English, Spanish, Dutch... I’ve had the chance to meet great teachers along the way who taught me valuable lessons: love to learn, love what you learn and always have fun while you’re doing it! I deeply aspire to be as helpful to my students as my teachers have been to me.
If you learn French with me, I see us as a team: we work together towards a common goal. I believe in a constant exchange between us so that what you learn makes sense to you and that you enjoy each minute you spend learning French, whether during a lesson or outside. Finally, my experience as a tennis coach naturally brings a lot of dynamism to my lessons and you can always count on me to support and motivate you, as well as to help you push your limits when I feel that you’re holding back!
Ready to team up with me?
I invite you to watch my video and book a trial lesson to start your French language journey!
À très bientôt!

I was quite apprehensive before I had my first tutoring session and didn't know what to expect. I was afraid that when I tried to speak French I would stumble over my words and end up looking like a fool. Right from the start, however, Tina put me at ease and made the entire process actually quite enjoyable. She has endless patience, and she approaches our sessions with exactly the right combination of good humor and professionalism. She always has a plan for our lessons, and she keeps us on track. Yet that doesn't prevent us from having a lot of laughs along the way. Our sessions are loads of fun, and I now look forward to them each week. Most importantly, I'm learning a tremendous amount and am rapidly gaining confidence in my speaking ability. I'm fortunate to have found such a terrific tutor in Tina.

Tina is a fantastic teacher and coach! After the initial consultation I knew I had found a good match for what I was looking for. I’ve studied French on my own and wanted to boost my confidence speaking. Tina makes learning fun and is helping me tie years of self study together. When I paid for my first lessons I felt good about investing in myself to help reach a personal goal, the value I have gotten in return has been immeasurable!
