TÉMOIGNAGES


Pierre Bui has worked for me as a teaching assistant for my English Language and Culture course (ANG3002) and my introductory listening course (ANG2051). It is also important to note that he has been of great assistance on a research project where we are looking at what proportions of explicitly teaching grammar is the most beneficial for ESL students.

Pierre is highly invested in his work and studies. Considering the significant workload at times, he has always been able to complete the corrections and work asked of him on time. In addition, he has broadened his learning with respect to the foundations of SLA and pedagogy. Teaching is second nature for him, constantly applying himself in his work.

Afin d’obtenir mon permis d’exercice médical au Québec, je devais compléter l’examen de l’Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF). Cet examen comprenait des composantes orales, écrites et des interviews pour évaluer mon niveau de français.

La première fois que j’ai participé à cet examen, je n’ai pas réussi, malgré mes efforts. J’ai ensuite décidé d’avoir recours aux services de M. Pierre Bui. C’était une décision très réussie. Sur une période de six mois, Pierre était exceptionnel. J’ai été étonné de constater la préparation élaborée pour chacun des cours. Il était très organisé, patient et qualifié. J’étais également impressionné par son engagement et sa passion pour l’enseignement du français.

En plus des leçons de français, j’ai également sollicité ses services en traduction, plus précisément dans le domaine médical. Ses services de traduction sont très professionnels et très bien écrits.

Je n’ai aucune hésitation à recommander M. Pierre Bui en tant qu’enseignant en français. En ce qui concerne l’apprentissage du français, je suis certain qu’il sera en mesure d’aider quiconque à atteindre ses objectifs.

I am a Pharmaceutical industry professional and I took French classes with Pierre between November 2015 and April 2016. I appreciated Pierre’s commitment to ensure that I reach my goal of having more fluidity when I speak in French. Pierre is detail oriented and his teaching style is unconventional. He designs his classes as per individual need of the students and he varies teaching techniques depending upon the progress of student. I admire Pierre’s professionalism and dedication to his work and students. I highly recommend Pierre for any student at different levels of either French or English and I am sure you would benefit from his personalized teaching approach modulated to meet student’s individual needs.
— Pranav Pandya, Director in Pharmaceutical Industry
 
Pierre was my French teacher last year whenever I was in Montreal visiting my girlfriend. Learning French is really tough but Pierre tried to make it as easy as possible for me. He organised all the books and documents and was always well prepared and on time for our appointments. Since my girlfriend and I decided to move to Austria at one point I haven’t had any French lessons with Pierre since then. But if I would have kept going with him I’m very optimistic my French would be on a good level today.
I can highly recommend Pierre as a teacher!

J’ai suivi des cours d’anglais avec Pierre afin de me préparer à une entrevue d’embauche pour un poste de professionnelle. Il a rapidement saisi mes objectifs et m’a préparé un plan d’action pour les atteindre. Celui-ci comprenait des exercices structurés ainsi que des périodes de discussions pendant les rencontres. À cela s’ajoutait un manuel a complété progressivement après chaque rencontre. Pierre est patient et attentif, mais toujours rigoureux dans ces remarques. J’ai beaucoup appris pendant nos cours et je le recommande pour toutes personnes qui souhaitent apprendre l’anglais.

Thanks to Pierre Bui’s tutoring, I received an 94% in my college English class on Literary Terms. We focused on improving my writing skills, as I had difficulty expressing myself in written form. Pierre showed me tricks, such as using connectors to demonstrate the relationship within or between sentences (thus, hence, therefore, etc.). Moreover, he illustrated ways of dissecting texts, isolating literary terms, writing essay outlines, and emphasis on improving my overall academic writing skills. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results of our sessions and hard work. Thanks to Pierre’s help, I was able to bypass cegep and go into Concordia as a mature student, as I finally felt that my writing skills were up to par.

Pierre a su m’aider, à m’améliorer dans l’apprentissage de l’anglais. Il va au rythme de l’élève. Dès que quelque chose n’allait pas, il m’expliquait tranquillement et avec des exemples, pour que je comprenne mieux. C’est un professeur attentionné et à l’écoute de l’élève. C’est avec joie et grand plaisir que je le recommande.

Pierre Bui is a very nice, patient, and professional language instructor. He has been my French Language instructor over a year. Pierre is very good in adjusting teaching method to your individual needs. I have no problem to recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good language instructor.

Pierre Bui worked as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Quebec in Montreal for 4 years. During this time, his duties have included helping me out in the classroom and in the computer lab with various activities, correcting quizzes, holding workshops, and generally being available to help students in all manner of course related problems.

Pierre was my teaching assistant for ANG 3015 Intermediate English Conversation and ANG 4015 Advanced English Conversation. This course is the most advanced conversation class we have at the École de Langues. During the session he has showed himself to be serious and hardworking, always participating in all the class activities. In fact, he never missed an opportunity to express his opinion on any given topic; his observations were always thoughtful and well-articulated.

Pierre was a contributor to the smooth flow and atmosphere of the class. He was particularly indispensable in the computer lab where he demonstrated his technical and problem-solving skills. He has shown himself to be self-motivated and I believe he will succeed in any field that he decides to undertake, and teaching would certainly fit in with his strong work habits and personable character.

I would highly recommend Pierre and would not hesitate to hire him again.

Merci pour tout. Vous êtes un des meilleurs profs que j’ai rencontré. Merci beaucoup.

Je te remercie beaucoup pour les efforts avec Yassin. Les cours ont préparé Yassin comme il faut (pour l’examen d’entrée au secondaire).

Pierre has been an amazing French teacher! He has taught me French that is relevant to my career and useful to me personally. He has gone out of his way to provide tons of learning material, talk time and he has exceeded my initial expectations of what I would receive from the lessons. I highly recommend Perfectionnement Linguistique Professionnel to anyone trying to learn French.

I would not hesitate to recommend Pierre as a French language instructor. His teaching methods are unique and effective. If you have tried to learn French and have not been successful, I urge you to give Pierre a try. I have tried many private and group lessons over the years and have learned more in just a couple of Pierre’s sessions. He teaches you what you need to know to effectively understand and communicate in the French language and forgets the rest, all in a fun and non-judgemental setting.

Ma fille suit des cours d’anglais privés avec Pierre depuis maintenant 2 ans. Comme nous étions nouvellement arrivés dans un quartier essentiellement anglophone, ma demande initiale était qu’elle puisse être plus à l’aise dans ses cours d’anglais à l’école, ainsi que dans les récréations et les activités de loisirs se déroulant bien souvent en anglais. Graduellement, j’ai pu observer une plus grande confiance et aisance chez ma fille pour s’exprimer en anglais. Ses notes dans cette matière ont augmenté de façon considérable. L’an dernier, elle a reçu un certificat de mérite pour la meilleure amélioration en anglais. Encore aujourd’hui, ce certificat représente beaucoup pour mon mari et moi, car nous avons été témoins de toutes les difficultés et de tous les efforts de notre fille pour s’intégrer dans un nouveau milieu essentiellement anglophone. Je considère que Pierre a grandement contribué à la progression de ma fille en anglais. Il a su créer rapidement une atmosphère de travail agréable, tout en fixant avec rigueur et efficacité des objectifs et des moyens adaptés.

Pierre est un tuteur très efficace et à l’écoute de ses élèves. Il connaît bien les programmes scolaires et s’ajuste aux forces et aux limites de ses élèves. Il utilise un matériel diversifié, adapte ses méthodes d’enseignement et garde l’intérêt et l’attention de ses élèves. Pierre est toujours ponctuel, très bien préparé et très bien organisé. Il sait mettre ses élèves en confiance et valorise leurs efforts.
— Geneviève Karsenty
 
Depuis plus de 3 ans, nous avons le privilège d’avoir M. Pierre Bui comme tuteur d’anglais pour nos enfants (âgés de 5, 8 et 9 ans). Toujours organisé et préparé, il démontre aussi une excellente habileté à entretenir de bonnes relations avec les enfants (excellent pédagogue). Par le passé, je l’ai souvent recommandé aux familles cherchant un tuteur et c’est sans aucune hésitation que je resterai toujours extrêmement favorable à le recommander de nouveau.
Je tiens à le remercier pour son excellent travail passé et à venir, son professionnalisme et son souci pour le développement de nos enfants!
— Andréane Péloquin, Chargée d'ingénierie
 
Pierre has been a great help to my two children (ages 11 and 13), whom he has worked with in both French and English. Although they were initially resistant to meeting with a tutor, Pierre’s friendliness and dynamic personality quickly put my son and daughter at ease. By the end of the first session, my children looked forward to working with Pierre as he helped to remove the stress and anxiety associated with homework.

Pierre is amazing at “jumping in” and quickly figuring out how to help a child organize and complete school assignments, whether that be an oral presentation or written work.

Pierre has a profound knowledge of language and is an excellent and enthusiastic teacher in both English and French. Although my children have different learning styles and needs, Pierre knows how to quickly assess and start where the individual
learner is. He helped both children feel more confident and excel in their schoolwork.

Tired of looking for a good English teacher? Don’t worry because Pierre Bui is THE English teacher that you’ve been looking for!

I first met Pierre Bui two years ago. I had good grades at school, but I wanted to improve my speaking. After a couple of weeks I was more confident when I was talking. Moreover, I improved my writing. I have to admit that Pierre helped me a lot. He bought me several books that helped me develop my vocabulary, writing and orthography. Pierre is the best English teacher I ever had. He is a devoted man and he loves what he is doing. Also, he is the kind of person with whom we can talk about anything. During our classes we often talk about sports, films and even geography. Furthermore, he is a good person and a good friend. If you ever need some advice or if you have trouble with your homework, Pierre would be delighted to help. I recommend you to call him if you plan to take your English to the next level. You won’t regret it!

My experience with Pierre was amazing. He is very caring and takes time to focus on his students. I’ve had him as my French tutor throughout high school and he has helped me a lot. He went out of his way to make sure I was doing well and gave me great tips that will help me for years to come. I highly recommend Pierre, he is the best tutor I’ve ever had. He acts very friendly and takes care of his students.
— Rehean, High school student
 
Pierre was great with my son over the summer, he was patient, very structured and extremely fun for my son to learn from. Would hire again in the future.
— Thomas Monaghan
 
Pierre is an excellent professional teacher in all respects; He is encouraging but appropriately challenging. He is extremely well prepared, reliable and knowledgeable.
He demonstrates a thorough understanding of student’s learning needs, and is able to adapt easily to whether you need encouragement with conversational French or help with more formal grammar teaching. I have found him to be a teacher of the highest standards and could not have wished more from a teacher. Quite simply, I could not recommend him highly enough.
— Behtash
 
Pierre is the 3rd French teacher I’ve worked with and he is by far the best!
He has a very structured/objective based, yet highly adaptable approach to teaching, which has been extremely effective. We work together through a great subjects which I have found very useful with respect to building a good vocabulary and understanding of French grammar.
He is super patient and has a manner of delivery which I have found to be very re-assuring but also challenging when required. I’m not the most confident language learner, He takes this into account and pushes just enough without being overbearing.
Highly recommended!
— Mahsa
 
Pierre was an excellent French tutor for our 2 daughters after we arrived in Montreal. He engaged with both of them and provided great resources to develop their language skills. They definitely benefited from the work he did with them and we are very grateful!
— Caroline Carter
 
Great Tutor! Very patient and calm. Very accommodating during the pandemic and went above and beyond to ensure my son had all the materials needed for his sessions. This has been a great experience for all of us!
— Rebecca
 
I am more than proud to write the letter of recommendation for Pierre Bui as your next tutor, teacher. When Pierre was a private tutor for my daughter from grade 8 till her graduation from grade 12 in French, her school grade improved drastically and she developed a strong reputation among students. Pierre is highly educated, patient and has methods to teach and patient and also a good source. We are lucky to have found him.
— Rabia Ercan
