Margaret
Calculus Tutor • +42 Subjects
I'm currently an MA student in French at Middlebury College, after graduating with my BA from Barnard College at Columbia University in 2014. Overseas, I spent a year at the Sorbonne-Paris. I'm a passionate, patient tutor of both English and French with four years of experience. In both languages, I focus on grammar skills, essay writing, and standardized test preparation, especially the SAT and SAT II. I most often tutor high school and college students, but have found that young children are also some of my favorite to teach! I have additional experience with ESL students and those with learning disabilities, including dyslexia, ADHD and cognitive impairments. Language arts are a true passion of mine, both academically and professionally. As a bilingual writer for the State Department and two publishing companies, I've learned effective writing skills I love to share with students. I believe that each individual learns differently, so I tailor my teaching strategies to every student's needs. Seeing students overcome challenges and meet their goals is always the highlight of my day. When I'm not tutoring, I'm an avid film photographer and an enthusiastic yoga amateur.

Avni
College Algebra Tutor • +74 Subjects
I'm a recent graduate of Case Western Reserve University with a B.A. in Biology and Cognitive Science, as well as a minor in French. I'm interested in going back to school for either environmental studies or law, but I still have some deciding to do in that regard! My tutoring experience has been varied, from helping peers with homework, assisting my young nephews and nieces with their reading and writing, to mentoring the younger students at the dance studio I used to attend. These are just some of the ways that I've learned to tutor. My favorite things to tutor are writing and algebra. Both are things that can appear complicated and difficult, but often there is only one stumbling block that a student is having a problem with. Once you isolate the issue, everything becomes simple! My tutoring style is to talk and work through a lot of practice problems together. When the student feels comfortable tackling some practice problems on their own, I know they've mastered the concept. I'm also a great listener; if you tell me that you are having a problem in a certain area of a subject, I can very much tailor the lesson and practice problems to the target area. Outside of school, I spend a lot of my time submerged in water! I love windsurfing, scuba diving, and going to the beach. I'm also a huge, huge fan of snow! I ski every chance I get, and lately I've been getting into snowboarding! When I'm just relaxing, I enjoy a good book, a hot mug of tea, and fuzzy blankets.

Frequently Asked Questions
The AP French exam has five sections: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, writing (free response), speaking (interpersonal and presentational). Most students struggle most with the speaking section, particularly the interpersonal conversation task, because it requires real-time language production without preparation time. The reading comprehension section also challenges many students due to the speed required to process complex texts and answer questions within the time limit. A tutor can help you build confidence in both areas through targeted practice with authentic materials and timed simulations.
AP French requires mastery of thematic vocabulary across multiple domains—including social issues, cultural practices, scientific concepts, and historical contexts—rather than just conversational phrases. You'll encounter complex academic French that goes well beyond introductory or intermediate textbooks. Tutors specializing in AP French can help you build this advanced vocabulary systematically through exposure to authentic news articles, podcasts, films, and essays that match the exam's difficulty level, ensuring you recognize and can use these terms in context.
Speaking anxiety in AP French often stems from fear of making mistakes in real-time or not understanding the prompt clearly. Tutors can reduce this anxiety by conducting repeated mock conversations that simulate the exact exam format, providing immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and fluency without judgment. Regular practice with a tutor who creates a low-pressure environment helps you internalize common conversational patterns and builds the confidence that comes from knowing you've successfully navigated similar scenarios before.
The persuasive essay requires you to synthesize information from multiple sources (audio, reading, and research) while maintaining a clear argument in sophisticated French—a significant leap from typical classroom writing. Students often struggle with organizing complex ideas quickly, maintaining proper verb tenses across longer passages, and balancing authentic French expression with grammatical accuracy. A tutor can teach you a strategic essay framework tailored to AP prompts, help you practice synthesizing sources efficiently, and provide detailed feedback on your written work to strengthen both your argument structure and language precision.
AP French listening materials feature authentic speech at natural pace, which is significantly faster than classroom French and often includes regional accents, colloquialisms, and overlapping dialogue. Many students struggle because they try to understand every word rather than catching key ideas. Tutors can train you to identify main ideas and supporting details, teach you to recognize common speech patterns and filler words that you can safely ignore, and provide graduated listening practice starting with slower material and progressively building to authentic exam-level speed.
Cultural context is woven throughout AP French—reading passages reference French and Francophone history, current events, and social issues, while speaking prompts often ask you to compare your culture with French-speaking cultures. You don't need to be a history expert, but understanding key themes like colonialism's impact on Francophone Africa, contemporary French immigration debates, or Quebec's linguistic identity will help you understand source materials and construct more sophisticated responses. A tutor can highlight the cultural themes most relevant to AP exam topics and help you discuss them with appropriate vocabulary and nuance.
The AP French exam allocates roughly 95 minutes for the multiple-choice sections and 55 minutes for the free-response section, but many students underestimate how long it takes to write a quality persuasive essay under pressure. A realistic preparation timeline is 3-4 months of consistent study if you're already at an intermediate level, though students starting from a lower level may need 6+ months. Tutors can help you create a personalized study schedule that builds skills progressively, identifies which sections need the most attention for your level, and teaches pacing strategies so you don't run out of time on the written sections.
Score improvement depends heavily on your starting level and consistency—students who are already at a 3-4 level and work with a tutor 1-2 times weekly often see a 1-2 point improvement over 2-3 months, while students starting at a lower level may need longer to build foundational skills. The most dramatic improvements typically come from targeted work on your specific weak sections (like speaking or listening) rather than general review. A tutor can diagnose exactly which skills are holding back your score, create a focused improvement plan, and track your progress through regular practice tests to ensure you're moving toward your goal.
