Amelia

Certified Tutor

I am currently studying French Studies at York University's Glendon Campus. I have a strong passion for the French language and I would love to teach that passion to others. I believe that understanding different languages will give you so many opportunities to travel, and to connect with others. During my gap year, I volunteered at an all french elementary school and helped out with a Grade 1/2 classroom, my love for teaching and languages only grew since then. I am optimistic and creative, I tend to think outside the box when teaching and I want to make the experience fun and joyful. I was also a barista trainer at Starbucks and I trained several people during my gap year, I've been complimented on my unique ways of teaching, one example would be that I made up songs to remember the build of a latte. In high school, I was extensively involved in my school and community through leadership programs like LINK Crew and PEAC (Partners in Education, Adventure, and Community) which is a specialized program at Twin Lakes High School that trains you on how to be a good leader. I am an extremely hard worker especially when it comes to teaching/tutoring, which is what I am very passionate about.
