About Martin

With hundreds of hours taught online and in-person, I am a reliable professional who can make a real difference in your learning of the French language—be it your first, second, third, or even fourth tongue! Besides teaching in high school, assisting university professors, and conducting plenty of workshops online, I've also translated more than forty books into French, I translate simultaneously almost every day, and I also worked as a closed captioner for CBC/Radio-Canada. French isn't just my native tongue—it's been a living for the past 25 years!

About the class

I can teach to all levels—from beginners to advanced students. Whether you’re starting from scratch, you need help with an exam, or you want to refine your mastery of the language, you’re at the right place! We can focus on conversation skills, having a discussion together, or we may work on some exercises too. Should you prefer to improve your reading capabilities or knowledge of the French culture, I can also recommend some books, based on your skills and interests. As for my expertise at teaching online, I have some experience tutoring within a specialized platform, as well as conducting workshops with up to 20 participants.

Martin's response
Narges is a talented, thoughtful student who cares about speaking French as best as she can. While some would think their level is good enough for a third or fourth language, Narges reaches far beyond the "acceptable." She's mindful of the finest details, which is a quality only those reaching after excellence possess.

Martin's response
Bill is a really serious, talented student. Very focussed. Doesn’t hesitate to ask questions—and ask again!—until everything seems clear to him. His understanding of French grammar, conjugation and syntax is already impressive; I have no doubt that if he keeps to such self-discipline, he’ll soon speak French as a native!

Cara

Excellent! Very patient and adapts to what the student would like to learn. Takes time to prepare lessons for the student

Martin's response
Cara is a really advanced French speaker. She already knows how to conjugate tenses as challenging as plus-que-parfait and futur antérieur, and shows she has made a lot of effort in learning past participles. No doubt she has the skills to evolve in a French-speaking environment—be it at work or outside work.

Martin's response
Every student is different, and Sebastian is no exception. I am glad I could help him through various discussions to gain back his fluency in Molière's tongue, after decades spent outside a French-speaking environment. As we say in French, it's like riding a bike (faire de la bicyclette) ; a language is never lost—it gets revived in the wink of an eye!

Bonjour tout le monde, cela fait environ cinq ans que je collabore étroitement avec Martin en tant que bénévole dans une organisation, en tant que : traducteur, interprète instantané et interprète consécutif. Je suis chaque jour impressionné par l'étendue de ses qualités, et je pense que quiconque prendra un un cours avec Martin se rendra immédiatement compte des précieuses qualités que je vais énumérer.

Tout d'abord, vous vous sentirez attentivement écouté. Vous pourrez constater que tout ce que vous aurez dit à Martin aura été entendu, archivé, et traité avec intelligence et bonne mesure.

Ensuite, lorsqu'il parlera, vous constaterez qu'il a une tête très bien ordonnée, et c'est probablement la raison pour laquelle il est si bien capable d'écouter les gens.

Cet esprit bien fait ne vient pas de nulle part, mais probablement d'autres qualités, telles que la régularité dans le travail, le sérieux et la sérénité.

Pour ceux qui y sont sensibles, vous pourrez aussi constater qu'il a une belle voix, qui n'irrite jamais l'esprit mais qui apaise et incite à délier les noeuds qui confondent la compréhension des choses.

Avec tout cela, vous comprendrez pourquoi Martin excelle comme traducteur consécutif. En effet, cette activité requiert d'être capable de retranscrire un discours de façon précise après qu'il ait été énoncé. Cela implique de comprendre immédiatement la logique du discours, ainsi que les incohérences caractéristiques de l'élaboration de la pensée, mais aussi de les retenir et d'être capable d'en fournir un résumé impeccable.

Vous devinerez également que Martin maîtrise la langue française comme peu de gens, du fait de sa méticulosité qui n'est autre que le résultat naturel de sa grande patience.

Maintenant, vous comprenez certainement pourquoi moi, Orphée Gerassi, j'affirme que Martin a les qualités qui lui permettent d'être un pédagogue de toute première excellence.

Martin and I are part of the same non-profit organisation where we give workshops to French-speaking audiences all around the world. I have also seen him teach several times. I can guarantee he has everything it takes to teach master classes—physically or online. Super prof, indeed!Martin is a person with a great attention span and strong responsiveness. He has a high capacity for common sense, which is not common these days, and also for benevolence while remaining focused on the request and the objective. Martin is structured and methodical in preparing classes (lineup, exercises, etc.) and respectful of timings. Being young, I would have appreciated having had a teacher as gifted as Martin.

When and why did you develop an interest in your chosen field?
I started teaching languages in 2004 as a substitute teacher in high school. Though I have engaged in many other activities since-like translating dozens of books-I kept working with the French language all the time, be it as an editor, an interpreter or a writer. The advent of platforms such as Superprof has allowed me to harmonize my deep interest in teaching to my other freelance activities.
What makes you passionate about your subject?
I have always been passionate about my mother tongue. French has been my forte since primary school. Thus it should come as no surprise that I studied French literature when I went to college after my teenage years.
What do you like about tutoring? What makes you a "Superprof"?
The advantage when teaching one-on-one or to a small group of people is that you can customize your teachings and see learners progress in a blink of an eye. My recipe to be a Superprof is that I don't have a "one size fits all" approach; I may have some classes already prepared on various topics and grammatical difficulties, but in the end, I have no problem teaching a brand-new course to fit my students' specific demands.
Do you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you? Please explain.
I really appreciated one of my French teachers, who dedicated one class a week to reading. Students were entitled to read anything for an hour, as long as it was literature. This really spurred my passion for reading and it made me understand that theoretical knowledge starts to make sense when applied in practice. He helped me realize that a greater mastery of my native tongue could help me better understand wonderful stories, not to say characters' fine psychologies.
What are your keys to success?
The main key to success is always to love what you are doing as to not feel it as a burden. But we cannot always love what we are obliged to learn, right? Perhaps French is just a language you need for a job, a better integration into society, or to earn a grade or a diploma. I understand that. However, I believe using games, videos and other teaching aids might greatly help one's learning-for pleasure is just the other primal key to success.
