Alice La Flèche — Founder
Meet Alice La Flèche
Language Coach · Cultural Anthropologist · Accelerated Learning Specialist
Global Roots
Alice La Flèche holds an Honours degree in Cultural Anthropology. She grew up in a diplomatic family, moving across multiple countries during her childhood, an upbringing that gave her an early, deep interest in human communication and social dynamics. That curiosity followed her into adulthood, taking her across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, where she built a lifelong understanding of how language, culture, and human behavior shape one another.
A Career Built on Language
Over the past 30 years, Alice has taught at universities, trained professionals inside major corporations, and worked with departments of the Government of Canada and the Canadian Armed Forces. That range, classrooms, boardrooms, and federal institutions, gave her a ground-level view of how differently people need to learn depending on who they are and what's actually at stake for them.
The Method
Alice went on to study Neuro-Linguistic Programming and the science of language acquisition, and used what she learned to build her own accelerated learning methodology, the foundation Bravo Langues is built on. It isn't a generic curriculum. It's a system designed around how people actually retain and use a new language under real deadlines.
Why She Does This Today
Today, Alice focuses on one thing: helping newcomers to Canada build confidence, develop real language skills, and integrate successfully. That mission isn't new to her, as a single mother, she opened her home for years to boarders from around the world: people from China, Brazil, Colombia, Japan, Ghana, South Africa, France, Spain, the United States, Venezuela, Australia, Ukraine, and many other countries. Long before Bravo Langues existed, her home was already proof of what she believes, that language and connection can turn strangers into family. For her, language learning isn't just an exam to pass, it's a tool for connection, opportunity, and identity for new Canadians building a life here.
Lydia Ettouhari — Teacher,
Applied Linguist
Lydia Ettouhari
French Language Teacher · Applied Linguist
A Foundation in Language Teaching
Lydia holds a Master's degree in the Didactics of French, a specialized program focused not just on the French language itself, but on the science of how it's actually taught and learned. That academic foundation gave her a strong, structured skill set in pedagogy, classroom teaching, and one-on-one learner support.
The Approach
Rather than treating French as a fixed set of rules to memorize, Lydia builds her lessons around three things: learning, communication, and student success. In practice, that means every class is built around what a student actually needs to be able to do with the language, with real conversation and measurable progress at the center of it, not just the next chapter in a textbook.
Why Students Choose Her
Lydia's combination of academic training and hands-on classroom experience means she can meet a student exactly where they are, whether that's building confidence from scratch or refining fluency for a specific goal like an exam or a new job.
Raphaël La Flèche — Growth Strategist
Meet Raphaël
Strategy, Marketing & Operations
Built to Build
From around age eight, Raphaël was drawn to how things actually worked, not just the toys and games themselves, but the machinery behind them: why one lemonade stand did better than the one next to it, why people traded what they traded, what made something worth buying. That curiosity turned into a habit that never really went away: building websites, buying and selling Magic: The Gathering cards, flipping comic books. A self-described all-around nerd, but always with a creative streak, happiest when he was building or trading something, whatever it happened to be.
A Foundation in Business
He carried that instinct into a degree in Marketing, Operations, and Entrepreneurship at McGill University. Between 19 and 22, he worked at a fashion startup, helping scale the business across nearly every function, while continuing to build and sell his own projects on the side.
Finding the Right Fit
A year in project management at a consumer-packaged goods company followed and confirmed that corporate structure wasn't where he wanted to build a career. He kept trying different things along the way, always chasing the same instinct: build it, sell it, see if it works.
Why He Does This Today
Growing up in a home that welcomed boarders from every corner of the world gave Raphaël an early, lived-in sense of how much a language and an open door, can change someone's path. Today, he leads strategy, marketing, and operations at Bravo Langues, making sure the people who need this program most can actually find it and get through it. It's the closest thing he's found to building something that matters, using the same restless, creative instinct he's had since he was a kid.
