Bonjour, I'm Héloïse

Héloïse Landry brings 25 years of classroom experience to The French Academy — not as a native speaker offering casual conversation, but as a credentialed educator who co-authored provincial curriculum policy. Her career spans both public and private Christian school settings, teaching learners from early childhood through adulthood. She holds a Bachelor of Education from UQAM, WES-evaluated as equivalent to a U.S. Bachelor's degree, and certified teaching credentials from Québec's Ministry of Education. She is also legally qualified to teach dramatic arts, and holds a 2018 certification in Philosophical Inquiry Communities for Children (SÈVE Canada). She is completing Florida K-12 teacher certification in 2026. Over more than two decades, she taught French Language Arts, Ethics & Religious Culture, and Dramatic Arts — including helping write the very Ethics & Religious Culture framework later adopted across the province. Her approach blends rigorous language pedagogy with character formation and performance training, coaching over twenty students each semester in voice, diction, and stage presence.

The result is a program built on the same academic standards as a full accredited school — brought to families who want more than an à-la-carte tutor.
