Brice: Grand Prairie tutor
Certified Tutor
I am from Benin Republic (it's a west African country between Nigeria and Togo). Our official language is French. I moved to United States September 2013 as a Lawful Permanent Resident, and I now live in Omaha Nebraska and work full time with Wells Fargo as Personal Banker. I like French, classical music, gospel music, and video games. I am very adventurous person, so I like new challenge and travel as well.
I completed my high school diploma in 2002 at the Catholic High school PERE AUPIAIS in my county Benin. After my high school diploma, I completed a vocational degree in Business Marketing in 2004 at the National School of Management and Applied Economics. and a Bachelor degree in Business Law and Judiciary services in 2006 at the University of Abomey-Calavi.
In 2010, I got my Master degree in Business Administration at the International Institute of Management. My major is Management and Business Law.
My love of tutoring comes from a lifelong love of helping friends after classes.I chose French tutoring for success in school and university. One of my goals is to keep the student challenged, but not overwhelmed. I offer one to one session and wants all my sessions to be very relax where the students can feel free to expose his/her difficulties.
I look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve success in your studies.
