Meet Carla Karam
A native-level French speaker and private tutor based in Mississauga, Ontario, with more than 10 years of experience teaching French to children, teens and adults, online across Canada and in person.
Carla’s Approach
Carla believes anyone can learn to speak French with confidence when lessons are built around them. That’s why every student gets one-on-one lessons tailored to their goals, level and learning style, rather than a one-size-fits-all program.
For exam candidates
Knowing exactly how the TEF Canada and TCF Canada are scored, and practising under real exam conditions, so students reach the NCLC levels they need for Express Entry, permanent residence or citizenship.
For children and teens
Patience, encouragement and lessons that make French fun, with support that follows what students learn in Core French, Extended French and French Immersion.
For adults
Speaking from the very first lesson, with clear explanations and corrections that turn mistakes into progress, from complete beginner to advanced professional French.
