Michelle was my mentor when I first joined the organization that I'm working for right now. It's without reservation that I recommend her to everyone on this platform. She has always exhibited strong communication skills, which were evident in her clear explanations to me. Her approachable nature encouraged me to ask her questions without hesitation. She was knowledgeable and patient, ensuring that everyone felt valued and understood. Michelle's commitment to me and her colleagues was evident in the progress made under her guidance.

I am a teacher in adult education and Michelle taught me a graduate-level instructional design class. She was a fantastic teacher! With years of experience designing learning programs for real-world situations, she has many teaching strategies to draw from that quickly help the student connect with the learning goal. She breaks down concepts clearly and is patient and supportive of struggling students, giving them constructive feedback that helps them learn. She has lots of experience with teaching and learning situations and believes in the importance of connecting with the student to create a healthy learning environment. I would highly recommend her as a tutor because she truly cares about helping the student achieve their learning goal!

Michelle taught one of my graduate-level core classes and was one of the best instructors I have ever had. She spent years designing learning programs for people from different backgrounds, and it showed in how she organized the learning environment so each student felt like they could succeed. She clearly and patiently explained concepts I was struggling with and always offered great feedback that helped my academic writing skills. There were many teachers in the class and we were amazed at her ability to accompany each student through the challenging material. She puts the student at the centre of the learning! I would highly recommend her as a tutor because she is great at helping a student find a way that works for them.

I first had the pleasure to meet Michelle Savard at the beginning of my second year at Concordia
University in 2014. I was looking for a research laboratory that would reflect my interests in
societal dilemmas. I had the privilege to be Mrs. Savard’s research assistant for four years (2014-2018). During
these years, I came to admire her not only as a researcher, but also as a mentor. As a mentor, Michelle Savard’s most important qualities are her patience, her humanity, and her
never lasting passion to help and teach others. I greatly appreciated the balance between letting
her research assistants evolve into becoming their own student/researcher/human and supporting
us every step of the way. To this day, Michelle remains a pillar of support and someone who I can always rely on for guidance through my professional and academic journey.

I had the privilege to know Michelle through one of the renowned career mentoring program in Canada (Ph.D. Career Connect) held by Concordia University in Montreal. Michelle was the leading program manager, coach, and mentor to over 60 Ph.D. graduates and Postdoctoral fellows. Her dedication, support, patience, and encouragements to the mentees are exceptional. Her wealth of experience in both academic tutoring and career development is truly impressive, and she effortlessly tailors her approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. Having experienced Michelle's mentorship firsthand, I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a coach and mentor. Her expertise, genuine care for her mentees, and track record of success make her an invaluable asset in guiding professional growth and achievement.

Michelle is a very effective teacher whose skills at organizing both long and short-term education plans are unparalleled. I had the pleasure of attending a series of workshops she organized in 2023 and they were expertly organized and very professionally run, and Michelle herself was and is a very open communicator whose compassion and empathy for all her students was a major part of not only the success of the program, but also the individual learning of everyone in it.

The one-on-one interactions I had with Michelle were always helpful and warm, her interpersonal skills making every moment easy even when I was learning something difficult. I remain impressed with how organized Michelle is and how well she was able to put together an effective and meaningful curriculum for her students. I recommend Michelle highly as a teacher; anyone would be lucky to learn from her!
