Hi,
My name is Roxanne Star and I am a dual citizen living in French speaking Quebec, Canada. I am a Canadian/American citizen. My mother tongue is English, however I can speak French, Spanish, and German. I teach English privately here in Quebec. My courses are mostly online since the beginning of the pandemic. I teach to adults and children, either one on one or in groups. I also teach in various companies around Canada. I am very much comfortable with corporate and personal teaching.
The reason I am starting my Udemy journey is quite simple: to fulfill my passion of teaching and helping others as much as I can.
I will always remember my move to Quebec. It was new, strange, and scary. I had to learn a completely new language from scratch. The number one lesson I have learned from my experience is to never be embarrassed of trying. If we want to learn or advance, there are mistakes to be made before we can evolve! Do not give up because I will not give up on you.
Hope to help you soon,
Yours sincerely,
Roxanne Star
