MAURICE HAZAN:

* Founder of Tribeca Language  * Inventor of the QTalk method

* Author of over 80 books in 10 languages worldwide * Celebrated veteran teacher

* Sought-after speaker on the topic of Memory & Language Acquisition 

The son of a German mother and Egyptian father, growing up in France but speaking English at home, Maurice Hazan, it seems, was destined to work with language acquisition.

Twenty years ago he began teaching French in the US and started experimenting with his unique supplemental tool creations in class. He soon found his creations in demand and launched a publishing company called Symtalk, servicing thousands of schools nationwide. 

In 2005, Symtalk was acquired by EMC Publishing.  Determined to continue the spread of his revolutionary ideas, he opened Tribeca Language in 2007 to serve as both a language school for the community of Tribeca (New York City) and as a research, development and testing center for a new line of products, now known as the QTalk Method.

Now, wiith Tribeca Language having emerged as the premier language center in NY, Maurice travels across the country training elementary, middle and high school teachers in his acclaimed QTalk Method (but can still be found in the Tribeca Language basement's "workshop," where he invents new games and toys  practically every day!)
