What Our Customers Are Saying:

"I can't recommend Shana's services enough. My son hated French last year and as a result missed more school days than I would have liked. The avoidance of French led to a few behavioral issues. Shana's assessment showed that he was completely behind in French by 3 yrs. The school system had just been passing him. His speaking, listening, and writing all needed significant remediation. Shana cane to our house for the assessment and this allowed my son to be tested in a familiar environment. Now I have a game plan to get him the help that he needs and I can advocate for him so that he starts to enjoy school again. No more tears, tummy aches or arguments on French days. Thanks Shana for all your help and assistance." - Dr. Ibby

"Shana is incredibly knowledgeable, and shared information that I hadn't heard before regarding core French vs French Immersion. Very insightful session that has helped me to understand the pros/cons of the current system, and what the best options would be for my child. This was time well spent, and I was thankful that she left time in between each section for me to ask questions." - Menisha

"I reached out to Shana for a post enrollment assessment for my daughter who was currently in grade 2 French immersion. I was already contemplating withdrawing her from the program as she was having some difficulty and wanted additional information to support my decision. The assessment was very thorough and gave great insight to where my daughter was at. Shana's feedback and recommendations helped to make my decision easier. Would definitely recommend her services." - Carla

"I am so happy I came across Shana and her French consulting services at Faire sens. I was researching and trying to understand the French language curriculum and options available through our school board district, but really struggled to get the answers I was looking for. With Shana’s consultation, she laid out all the different options available in my school board district, the pros and cons, and provided a number of resources to help us gain a better understanding and overview of the French language curriculum. I left the consultation feeling more knowledgeable and able to make an informed decision." - Tami

​
"What a unique and much needed service! Through Shana's assessment we were able to understand how our son was doing with the french language in isolation from any other issues that may be taking place in the classroom setting. This service helped us understand his french skill and allowed us to focus more specifically on where he needs the most help. Shana was very quick to respond and was able to see us within days of reaching out." - Christine

"We contacted Faire Sens for an assessment of our daughter's French language level following several years at a French Immersion private school. Being a non-Francophone parent, it is difficult for me to assess my daughter's French level and Faire Sens was the answer. Shana was responsive, professional, a strong communicator, and all-round French language expert. Shana was great with our 8-year old and very thorough with her assessment and recommendations, taking time to answer all my questions, provide additional information and a report. This was such a positive experience! If you or anyone you know is looking for a comprehensive professional French level assessment for school or work, I would highly recommend Faire Sens." - May-Sann

"It was such a pleasure meeting Shana and having her do an assessment on my son. She was such a delight to work with. My son is in grade 4 French Immersion and I felt like we were at a crossroad on whether to stay in FI or move him to back to regular English stream classes. Shana was able to guide me in the right direction with all of her knowledge and experience in the school boards." - Susan

​
"Chatting with Shana about my daughter's options for French education in our board was such a pleasure! She is so knowledgeable and the conversation was incredibly informative. I loved how she took the time to learn about and understand my child as a person and a learner. After speaking with Shana, I feel more equipped to make important decisions regarding my daughter's French education moving forward. I highly recommend booking a consultation with her to gain critical information. You will not regret it!" - Shari

"Thank you Shana, this consultation was very helpful. As an immigrant I do not know a lot about the French programs in Toronto schools, so our discussion gave me a better understanding of how things work and what might be best for my daughter!" - Kate
(Pre-Enrollment Consultation; Toronto Catholic District School Board [TCDSB])
​
"Shana was so helpful in navigating the French immersion options for our daughter. She walked us through 6 options across 2 school boards. We left having a clear understanding of our options and were able to make our choice with confidence. She was also able to give us sublet insights that you could never find on a board website from her own years of experience. We will revisit with Shana in a few years when we're presented with a new set of choices." - Jeanette
(Pre-Enrollment Consultation; Toronto District School Board [TDSB])

"Thank you again for your assessment, I really felt like you weren't trying to persuade me in any direction and gave me direct feedback - which is what I needed to hear. We definitely have some considerations to make about what the long term commitment looks like, but she certainly has an eagerness to learn the language." - Chantelle
