Alissa uses ingenious teaching methods along with utilizing the many French resources available at Riverstone Public School and through the FLRC, including games to encourage students’ creativity and guide them in their French learning. Her passion for French education and culture motivates her students and the school. “At Riverstone school, the French atmosphere is vibrant and flourishing thanks to Alissa’s dedication, hard work and, most importantly, her passion for the language and culture!” Commented Diana Boisvert when asked about Alissa Alas.
Not only does she encourage her students, but because of her varied teaching methods, she pushes them to succeed – and they thrive.
