I found Andrea to be an amazing French teacher. She was very patient with me as I had no knowledge of French and her patience really helped me to follow the programme and get started. She was confident and flexible enough to work virtually with me and my colleague in Vancouver with a 3 hour time difference.

The Sullivan Learning Center works with my company to offer language courses and, frankly, it’s a real pleasure.

French Conversation Practice with Native Speakers
Forget scripted dialogues! Our classes pair you with native French instructors and peers for unscripted, real-time conversations. You’ll dive into topics like:
- Montreal’s cultural hotspots
(debate the best bagel spot: St-Viateur vs. Fairmount!). - Workplace scenarios
(nail client pitches, team meetings, or networking en français). - Everyday challenges
(ordering at a bistro, negotiating a lease or decoding Québécois slang).
Practical Vocabulary & Grammar Exercises
We use both textbooks and focus on high-impact language tools:
- Career-driven vocabulary
Master terms for your industry (tech, healthcare, hospitality, etc.). - Grammar in action
Tackle subjunctive tense by planning hypothetical trips or expressing opinions. - Survival phrases
Handle emergencies, small talk and cultural faux pas with grace.
Our exercises mimic real life, so every word you learn has instant utility.
Interactive Learning Methods That Boost Confidence
Shy about speaking? Our toolkit banishes stage fright:
- Role-playing games
Role-play resolving a guest complaint at a Montreal hotel, Navigate patient intake forms and empathetic communication, or pitch a project to a startup team using industry jargon. - Videos to develop your understanding
Observe interactions, analyze communication strategies and discover practical tips. - Other resources
Reinforce skills with tools like custom quizzes on professional terms and online games that help you structure client emails with appropriate formalities. Plus, practice key phrases like “Je vous propose un compromis…” (negotiation) or “Pourriez-vous préciser votre demande ?” (clarification) through interactive exercises.
You’ll laugh, debate, and problem-solve your way to fluency! All this without realizing you’re “studying”.

Our tailored curriculum focuses on active listening and dynamic speaking exercises, helping you decode nuances in tone, slang and cultural references.

Need industry-specific jargon for a career in hospitality, tech or academia? Want to discuss art, travel or gastronomy with flair? We curate word banks and phrases that directly support your goals, ensuring every lesson feels purposeful and practical.
-
Confident Communication
French isn’t just about grammar rules – it is about thinking in French. Through interactive role-plays, discussions and spontaneous storytelling sessions, we train you to respond intuitively. Our supportive environment dismantles the fear of mistakes, teaching you to embrace fluidity over perfection. Soon, you’ll express ideas, crack jokes and share opinions as effortlessly as you do in your native language.
-
Refined Pronunciation
Master the melody of French with our accent-reduction techniques. Using voice-matching exercises and feedback from native instructors, you’ll polish tricky sounds (think “r” rolls and nasal vowels) and rhythm. We even analyze regional accents (Parisian, Quebecois, etc.) to match your interests.
-
Strong Grammar Foundation
Grammar is the backbone of fluency, but we teach it organically. You will absorb structures like past tenses, subjunctive moods and gender agreements through context-rich dialogues, podcasts and writing tasks. By anchoring rules to memorable conversations (e.g., planning a trip, resolving a conflict), you’ll internalize grammar as a tool for expression, not a hurdle.
Every student benefits from personalized feedback throughout the course, ensuring steady progress and clear learning milestones.
