Our Team

Shana Baptiste-Iseyemi is the Creator, Founder, and French as a Second Language Consultant (FSL Consultant) at Faire sens Consulting Services.

 

She has a Honours Bachelor of Arts in French Studies with a minor in Anthropology from York University. She also has a Bachelor of Education with a focus on French as a Second Language and General Social Sciences from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto. Finally, she has a Career Strategist Certification with a focus on career development, career planning, and career management from the Career Professionals of Canada.

 

Additionally, she has worked for both the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and the York Region District School Board (YRDSB) where she has taught the following classes:

 

  • Grade 7 Core French

  • Grade 8 Core French

  • Grade 9 Academic Core French

  • Grade 9 Applied French

  • Grade 9 Open French 

 

She has also supported the following classes:

 

  • Grade 2 French Immersion

  • Grade 4/5 French Immersion

  • Grade 6 Core French

  • Grade 8 French Immersion Math 

  • Grade 8 French Immersion History

  • Grade 9 Pre-International Baccalaureate French

  • Grade 10 Core French

  • Grade 11 Core French

  • Grade 11 International Baccalaureate French

 

For a few years, she also volunteered as a Concours d'art oratoire judge for the annual national French public-speaking competition for secondary students. In fact, this experience was only made possible due to her time spent living, studying, and working abroad in Grenoble, France.

 

Finally, as a Certified Career Strategist (CCS) and a former French Teacher, she has seen what various levels of French language fluency looks like at the elementary, secondary, and postsecondary levels. She has also regularly heard from parents, guardians, and caregivers that speaking French opens doors. Now although this is quite true to a certain degree, she truly believes that French is a skill, not a specialization. Specializations can include marketing, project management, translation, medicine, law, and teaching to name a few. Therefore, French is the first step to more job opportunities, but not the only step to secure them.

 

So, with that in mind, let her help you make an informed decision when it comes to your child's FSL education.
