About Simon
I'm a native Canadian English speaker, fluent in both English and French. I have a Master’s degree in Global Affairs from the University of Toronto. I have professional experience working in government, public policy, and international relations, where clear and effective communication is essential. As a tutor, I am patient, encouraging, and committed to helping my students reach their language goals with confidence. Whether you want to improve your conversation skills, prepare for professional opportunities, or strengthen your academic writing, I will tailor lessons to your needs. Being bilingual, I understand the challenges of mastering a second language and can offer additional support to French-speaking learners when needed. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and building real-world English skills that you can use every day.

As a native Canadian English speaker with a graduate degree, my approach to tutoring focuses on building real-world fluency, confidence, and strong communication skills. I believe language is best learned through practical use, so my lessons combine structured learning with lots of conversation practice, tailored exercises, and immediate feedback.
A typical lesson includes a warm-up conversation to build comfort, a focus segment on specific skills (such as pronunciation, writing structure, or vocabulary expansion), and real-life practice scenarios like workplace conversations, academic writing, or casual dialogue. I adapt each session to the student's goals, whether that means preparing for an exam, improving professional communication, or becoming more fluent for daily life.
My professional background sets me apart as a tutor — I have real-world experience writing and presenting in English at a high level for government and academic audiences. I bring that professional polish to my teaching, helping students speak fluently and express themselves clearly, persuasively, and confidently.
My lessons are ideal for adult learners, university students, international students, and professionals who want to improve their English speaking, writing, or comprehension skills. Whether you are preparing for work, study, or life in Canada, I can customize lessons to meet your needs.
