Dear teacher
Merci d’aider nos jeunes à devenir bilingues.
Being a teacher is already a massive commitment—and on top of that, teaching in a second language, sourcing age-appropriate French resources, and translating materials, takes incredible dedication!
To thank you for all you do, we give ‘The Cultural & Linguistic Donation’ for Grades 2 and 3 and their classmates.

No prep time required. Facilitation and access to educational resources are provided at no cost. Simply turnkey.
Meaningful
Opportunity to use the French skills they learn with you to play and discover the Francophone world.
Relevant
Appealing pedagogical resources fully facilitated in French and tailored for FI elementary school students.
The Cultural & Linguistic Donation
Designed to strengthen your student’s connection with the French language and culture.
What to expect and what we ask from you.

Ready to bring the experience to your classroom?
Reserve your class session today and I will facilitate the rest—zero cost or prep for you! It's my way to thank you for teaching French to our BC youth every day, to connect with FI communities, and build lasting pedagogical partnerships with teachers and parents who wish to do so. À bientôt!

Valérie brings 20+ years of field experience with youth, including 10+ years in British Columbia's Francophone School District. She understands BC's French students from the inside—the family and school dynamics, the challenges, the motivations, and the aspirations.
Her expertise lives in French youth work, cultural facilitation, international cooperation, French phonetics, and Neurolinguistic Approach (NLA) curriculum design—a framework developed in Eastern Canada to build spontaneous communication skills in Core and Immersion French students by prioritizing authentic dialogue, social interaction, literacy, sentence pedagogy, and internal grammar acquisition.
