Christopher Kolar

Born in Ontario, I studied English literature and psychology at the University of Windsor before moving to Quebec in the mid-1990s to teach English as a second language.

I initially taught at various private schools, including Montreal Language Studies, LPS, and Berlitz, before founding my own school, Anglais Idéal, which welcomes anyone wishing to improve their command of the English language. I take pride in offering high-quality lessons—individual or group—that are tailored to each student’s needs and interests. My philosophy? I strive to help every student develop their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through a variety of engaging activities, all in a fun and supportive environment.

My strong background in teaching, combined with my passion for writing, have led me to produce the textbook Let’s Learn Essential English, the seventh edition of which was published in 2018. Building on that experience, I subsequently co-authored several more textbooks with Rachel Leblanc: Interaction en anglais, Communication en anglais (English and bilingual versions) and Communication en anglais des affaires, all published by Éditions Logitell.

I am currently working on my first novel, thus reconnecting with my first love.
