About the founder

Montréal French, taught by someone who lives it.

I'm Ashfaaq Kazi — a Mauritian-Canadian instructor in Montréal, trilingual in English and French, with years spent working in both of Canada's official languages. The Academy is built on how I actually teach.

Two convictions run through every program. One: the fastest way to learn a language is to use it — imperfectly, from day one. Two: exam scores come from teachable, repeatable moves, so honest feedback beats comfortable feedback.

« Une réponse tentée vaut mieux qu'un silence parfait. »

An attempted answer beats a perfect silence — the first rule in every program.
