About me
How I learned to speak a new language with confidence (and how I help my students do the same)
I'm Najia, a French coach and trained nurse. But before helping others speak French with confidence... I had to rebuild my own legitimacy in a new language.
After 15 years of nursing in France, Switzerland, and Quebec, I settled in Calgary. There, I discovered a harsh reality: I knew my profession, but everyday English remained an obstacle. I knew the grammar... but not the reactions. I understood the words... but not always the people.
So I applied to my own situation what I teach today: a clear diagnosis of what's really holding you back, and targeted work on real professional and everyday situations. I passed the TCF Canada myself (twice 😅). Today, I help you speak French with ease, without translating in your head, and without stress.

I feel lucky to be Najia's student and to be learning French together with her. We started with the very basics, and now we are already progressing toward the C1 level.
Najia takes a very personal approach to teaching and guides me through the material with a great attitude, patience, and a wonderful sense of humor. One of the most important parts of my progress in French has been Najia's unique ability to pronounce French words incredibly clearly. This helps me hear and distinguish even the smallest details in pronunciation, which is extremely valuable.
Najia also provides excellent learning materials and guides me through the more difficult parts of each module, making them much easier to understand. I really enjoy our lessons and truly appreciate the progress I've been able to make with her invaluable guidance.
Gabriela
I've been taking French lessons with Najia, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better teacher. Her lessons are always dynamic, combining listening, speaking, and writing in a way that makes learning both engaging and effective.
What I appreciate most is her patience and understanding. She respects my pace, creates a supportive learning environment, and encourages me to keep improving without ever making me feel rushed.
Learning French feels much less intimidating thanks to Najia's positive, caring, and encouraging approach. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated French teacher.
Galyna
I highly recommend Najia as a French teacher. I studied French with her and had a very positive experience. She is a professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated instructor who creates a supportive and engaging learning environment.
As a native French speaker, Najia brings excellent language skills and cultural knowledge to her lessons. Her program is well-organized, practical, and adapted to students' needs and goals. She explains concepts clearly and encourages students to build confidence in speaking French.
I truly enjoyed my lessons with Najia and would recommend her to anyone looking for a high-quality French teacher.
Alisa
I've been studying French with Najia for almost a year now. What I absolutely love about studying French with Najia is the positive attitude she brings to every class as well as corrective feedback she provides to every student, especially when it comes to pronunciation.
A year ago, I couldn't speak a word of French, but thanks to Najia's lessons I can now have a basic conversation and feel super motivated to continue learning. Merci beaucoup, Najia!

I've been taking my classes with Najia for a 6 months and I can say that she is a wonderful teacher. The classes with her are fun.
