The consultation is 30 minutes, free, and carries no obligation. We talk through your goal, I give you a straight read on what it will take, and you leave with a plan either way. Here's what to expect on the call and how to get the most out of it.
What happens on the call
We start with your goal: TEF Canada for Express Entry, TEFAQ for a CSQ, a bilingual role you're chasing, or your very first words in French. Then your deadline, because the calendar shapes the plan more than anything else. Then a short, relaxed conversation about where your French is now. Not a test, no trick questions; I just need to hear you to advise you.
Then you get the straight read: what your target requires, how long it plausibly takes from where you stand, and whether I'm the right person to get you there. If I'm not, I'll say so and tell you what I'd do in your place.
What you leave with
A clear answer. Either a concrete next step with me, starting with a diagnostic that measures your level against real exam rubrics, or a direction you can pursue on your own. Nobody leaves with a vague "it depends." The whole point of the half hour is that you stop guessing.
Who this is for
Exam candidates with a date booked or looming. People mid-decision who don't yet know whether they need TEF, TCF or TEFAQ. Complete beginners who want to start right rather than start over. And anyone who has been "meaning to get back to French" for a year and wants an honest picture of the road.
How to prepare
Lightly. Know your immigration pathway if you have one, or bring the confusion and we'll untangle it together. Know your deadline, even roughly. And spend two minutes thinking about your history with French: school years, apps, a course you dropped. That's all. Don't study for it; the call works best when I hear your French as it actually is.
What this call is not
It's not a lesson, so don't expect conjugation drills. And it's not a hard sell. I don't pitch packages on first calls as a matter of policy; the right program depends on a diagnostic we haven't done yet, and pretending otherwise would be guesswork dressed up as advice.
Book your spot
Pick a time here. Thirty minutes, free, no pressure. Whatever you decide afterward, you'll know exactly where you stand, and that alone is worth the half hour.
