Fun Facts

I love the arts, mostly film and music, and enjoy tying lessons in to current music or films that are popular in French speaking countries. I dabble in music myself, although have unsuccessfully tried to incorporate my own music in to lessons. I also love to travel. So far I have been to three continents, and I plan on making it to the rest in the not too distant future.

About Me

I grew up loving foreign languages, and happened to major in French. Spent a semester studying abroad in Paris, where I received top marks from the Sorbonne. It has always been a goal of mine to connect students with foreign cultures in order to broaden their perspectives and horizons.

I have a combined two years teaching experience. Mostly high school French, with some middle school experience as well. My training and first teaching job were done in North Carolina, the rest of my experience came from Philadelphia. My teaching jobs gave me a great understanding of how one on one instruction can supplement a students education.

Each individual has their own interests, motivations, and learning styles that can be more easily addressed in a private lesson than in a classroom. It is paramount to learn about the student before you can set up an approach that suits them best. Finding a students strengths is also extremely important for improving their weaknesses. As a charlotte">tutor, it is important to reinforce the concepts being presented in class so that the student can excel.
