OUR TEACHING APPROACH
The core of our teaching method is the proprietary Qtalk method – which consists in associating symbols to words or phrases and set them side-by-side to form sentences and communicate. With this revolutionary method, students are able to speak in the target language within 10 mins of their first session. Read more here: https://www.tribecalanguage.com/our-program.html
Our team of highly-experienced native teachers also goes beyond the method by catering personalized classes to adapt to each student’s level and languages goals. We ensure a proper follow-up of each session with a curriculum for the 10 first lessons after the pilot class and a condensed report issued by the teacher after each session.

OUR STORY
in 2007, linguist extraordinaire and veteran pedagogue and teacher, Maurice Hazan founded TriBeCa Language with partner - Laura Lees. Maurice Hazan is also the creator of 2 revolutionary language learning method: Symtalk (which is successfully sold) and Qtalk. He created TriBeCa Language to be the "Home of the Qtalk method".
Over the years, TriBeCa School has become a staple in TriBeCa and a language learning reference in Downtown Manhattan. The school reputation grew along with the team. Students of all ages and backgrounds have indulged in fun and communication-based language lessons.
In 2016, Elodie Herelle started collaborating with the school as a French instructor - while running her French tutoring center - French Anyway. A year later, the school closed its historic location at 22 Harrison st. and reopened in a smaller space a couple of blocks further. A couple of months later, Elodie started taking on some management responsibilities in the perspective of taking over the language center - which she officially did in May 2018.
As we have transitioned to mostly online and in-home/in-office private classes, TriBeCa language is currently located in the Financial District - 90 Broad st. Although the majority of our students is still in TriBeCa.
Elodie is now the executive director. A French native, she is also a passionate linguist and language instructor with a business background. Through her origins and gender, she makes TriBeCa Language a women-, minority-, immigrant- and black-owned business.
