About Emma
I am offering online group and/or private lessons geared towards beginner students of French who have a keen interest in mastering the sounds of the French language right from the start!
I am also offering conversation classes for both intermediate and advanced levels.
Classes will be offered online, via Zoom (free online learning platform/app).
Online classes are geared towards teenagers (ages 12+), and adults.
All scheduled class times are marked in Pacific Standard Time, but lessons are open to anyone anywhere in the world!
I am a Canadian Anglophone who lived and studied in France for over 5 years. I am bilingual and have 20+ years of expertise in helping non francophones to get their mouths around the sounds of French (pronunciation/phonetics instructor).

Like English, French is a deeply orthographic language (words do not sound like they are spelled), and I offer students a fun and easy way to decode the written form. By the end of a 5-week session with me, you will be able to read a basic French paragraph aloud, with confidence.
I am a middle school Montessori French teacher, a certified DELF examiner-scorer, an instructor for the Alliance Française, a French language lab instructor at UVic, and a Master's student at UVic researching the use of lingual ultrasound visual technology as a tool for learning how to pronounce French vowels.
Join me on a French language learning adventure!
Cost is $20 CAD per person per hour of instruction for group/conversation classes; 2-3 students per group.
Private lessons: $40 CAD per hour.

I highly recommend Emma Kwasnica as your French language instructor. Emma has a talent that is unique in the teaching of this beautiful language. I had never experienced this technique before I met Emma which involves learning how to phonetically sound out words (my previous teachers had never emphasized phonetics). This technique helped me to understand how to form the sounds of the language in a much clearer fashion. Besides her Masters in Phonetics, Emma brings to the lesson her passion for her life’s work and her desire to impart to the student the love of the French language, cultivated while she lived in France for eight years. Be confident that you are in good hands when you are fortunate to have Emma as your teacher.
Emma has been our French tutor for myself and my 13yo daughter for a few months now. It has been so great having private French lessons to enhance our book and app learning. She teaches the standard French lessons you would get in a school setting but expertly peppers in how the French really talk to each other as well. I love her style of using multi-media tools to help us learn and she explains things in a way that helps the learning stick. I highly recommend her as an excellent french teacher.
Emma is a very intuitive and creative teacher because she loves language and the science behind how we produce sound. This means she can understand why we might be challenged with hearing or creating certain sounds.
And, as a fluent French speaker who spoke English first, she understands why we make the mistakes we do. As a scientist, finding someone who can show me a new way of learning (a language) has been very rewarding; and helped my comprehension of french as the language that it is.Emma is a great French tutor. She uses songs and books to see what I know and don’t know so she can help me improve. Every week I have her I tell her a little of what happened in the week in French, then she tells me what was incorrect and correct me. I highly recommend Emma if you are new to French or want to expand your vocabulary. 10/10
I have been taking conversational French with Emma for about four months and she is just awesome! She puts a lot of emphasis on pronunciation and helps us in an empowering, gentle way to improve. She is a really fun, engaging personality. She has shared with us amazing resources to keep practicing during the week. I feel I have made considerable improvement thanks to her! Highly recommend her!
Highly recommend Emma as a French teacher. Great methodology. My son was able to learn to read and speak some basic French in 10 lessons. She kept him engage the whole time online.
