“Kreol, Français, English – I Teach All 3 in One Hour”: Meet the Impossible Tutor Everyone Wants
In traditional schools, you are punished for speaking Kreol in English class. But Mr. Jean-Luc thinks that's a mistake.
"Kreol is our mother tongue. It's the bridge," he explains.
The "Trilingual Method"
Jean-Luc teaches English and French using Kreol.
- He explains a complex grammar rule in Kreol first to ensure understanding.
- Then, he translates it into French.
- Finally, into English.
The Breakthrough
"I had a student who was mute in class. He was ashamed of his broken French. When I told him to explain the idea in Kreol first, he lit up. Once he had the logic, the French words came easily."
Why Parents Love Him
