A life-long lover of ideas, communication, and languages, I have combined my two professions of teaching and librarianship in a number of situations over the years. My graduate degrees in second-language teaching and in librarianship have led me to work in places as different and enjoyable as tiny Inuit villages in northern Quebec, and an international secondary school in the middle of Rome, Italy, far from my home base of Montreal. Eclectic would describe my teaching style: conversation, authentic materials, grammar support, and a mix of resources both print and electronic are all in my bag of tricks. My own (very amateur!) abilities in theatre, music, and poetry also influence my classes in English and/or French with my students. We laugh, we think, we discuss, we learn.
