“M. Martin is a great teacher. He goes above and beyond to make sure his students are supported throughout the course by answering questions outside of class hours and providing helpful supplemental teaching aids. Given his demeanor and good sense of humour, he is able to create a great class environment whereby everyone feels safe to learn and make mistakes (which is integral while learning a new language). It is been a pleasure learning from M. Martin and I highly recommend him!”
“M. Martin is a wonderful French teacher. During the whole course he made sure things were clear and he truly cares about how his students are learning and their struggles with the language. He is very patient and has a great attitude. He is mindful of the particular setbacks adults can face when learning another language and he makes sure to work together to overcome them. Highly recommended!”
“C'est un professeur parfait ! M. Martin is an amazing teacher. He has so much energy, passion and enthusiasm it makes it hard not to learn. Having a great teacher is one of the most motivating things about learning a language and M. Martin is so full of interesting facts and tidbits about French, it's clear that he's really passionate about the language so it makes you feel that way too. He has a really great sense of humour. Classes were always fun and I looked forward to coming to class every week. He was always available if I had questions outside of class. And he has a way of explaining that makes everything really clear. I hope everyone gets the opportunity to have M. Martin as their teacher if they want to learn French. ”
“In the year that Mr. Martin was my french teacher I observed the following work habits: He has been the most responsive teacher I have had the pleasure of working with. Regardless of the form of communication: emails, or university D2L website, he answered my questions quickly with no delay. Above that, he demostarted a willingness to modify his teaching methods base on his class's needs and personalities. Last but not the least, Mr. Martin takes steps to give students extra help before and after class. It was obvious that he is caring about each student in his class and works hard to make sure no one is left behind.”
