 Hi! My name is Ilse. I'm a third-year anthropology student from Mexico. I'm passionate about understanding diverse cultures and societies, which is why I love meeting new people! I also enjoy traveling and spending time outdoors. When I'm not exploring new places, I like to watch movies and read. I have a particular passion for Latin American literature, and I enjoy almost every movie genre (except horror because I get scared easily). I also love learning, so I cannot wait to learn from you! Please feel welcome to come and talk to me. I'm here to help you and answer any questions. I can't wait to meet you and have amazing conversations!

Hi friends, 
I am Laeticia, an international student from Mauritius (To me, it's like Hawaii!). I am currently in my 4th year in Biomedical Sciences with a minor in Health Sciences. Like many of you probably, I am in French immersion, and I can guarantee you that learning in French is easy. It only takes some time and effort! 
Through my Co-op terms, I had the opportunity to work in research laboratories with experienced scientists in my field. Outside of class, I love meeting new people and going hiking to explore Canada. 
With my patient and attentive nature, I will do my best to help you learn and improve the language of your choice with confidence and simplicity. We are here for you :) 
I look forward to meeting you!
