My teaching philosophy

My teaching style truly revolves around the well-being of my students: my main care is that learners feel good during our lessons and that they feel like they are really benefiting from our classes. In order to achieve that goal, I strive to adopt a positive and constructive attitude while listening to my students' French. I believe that the process of learning can be very enjoyable, and I am all about sprinkling a little joy and kindness over everything I do!

 

French for ALL: the importance of inclusivity and acknowledgment 

I also find it very important for people to feel seen and acknowledged in their identity, which is why I am committed to creating a safe environment in which people from all types of backgrounds can feel welcomed and at ease. In order to achieve this goal, I have spent the last decade educating myself on privilege and the history of oppression in France and in the USA. 

Therefore, Dr. Anaïs pledges to respect each and all identities, stand against intolerance and bias, and focus on promoting social justice and equality. In my practice, I also acknowledge the colonial history of the French legacy, and I keep learning ways to teach the French language while recognizing its history as an oppressor in many places of the world, and for many populations.

Feel free to ask me about that, as I am passionate about that part of my work!
