 Olga PichakchiMy son is so fortunate to have Vanessa as his French tutor for over 3 years. She is an excellent teacher with a great personality. She is one of those teachers that makes a difference and students will remember her and will be thankful for her their whole lives. |  Oriano AndreaniI have had the privilege of Vanessa tutoring my nine-year-old son Joseph in French for four weeks over Christmas break. During this time, I came to know Vanessa as an intelligent, caring, well prepared young woman with a profound knowledge of her subject area. Vanessa's passion for teaching French is obvious in the engaging and creative ways she structured learning. Her lessons were built on my son's interest, meaningful and always connected to the curriculum. |  Erica WangI cannot give enough praise and thanks to Vanessa for helping my sons in learning French over the last 2 years. Vanessa Petricca is much more than just a tutor in French. She has a unique manner of relating to children of all ages, by motivating their interest to learn and do better academically. Not only has our sons' French improved exponentially, but they have become more confident in their abilities as students due to the many skills they have acquired during their tutoring sessions. |

 Maria De CarloAside from her skills as a French tutor, Vanessa is truly committed to relationship building and student achievement. Her passion for encouraging my son to achieve his full potential was obvious. She was sincere and honest for his well being. |

5 Foundations of French Literacy
Is your child struggling in a Francophone or French Immersion program?
Do you want to help your child THRIVE in French?
​
Over the past 10 years, I've had the pleasure of helping over 200 students improve their reading, writing and oral communication skills in French.
​
When I noticed students weren't getting the help they needed in school, I left the system so that I could tutor full-time.
My mission is to help as many students as I can with my proven 5 step learning method: 5 Foundations of French Literacy.
​
Too many students miss out on the grades they were capable of and the opportunities that come with being a fluent French speaker.
​
With my proven 5 Foundations of French Literacy method, I help children in Kindergarten to grade 5 read in French above grade level so they can feel confident and speak fluently.
