Award-Winning French Tutors
serving Ann Arbor, MI

Skyler's language-learning background extends beyond her Russian specialization — she has studied French formally and brings a linguist's eye to verb conjugation patterns, pronoun usage, and the grammatical structures that trip up English speakers. Her approach connects French grammar to the logic behind it, so rules like the subjunctive mood or passé composé vs. imparfait distinction actually make sense rather than feeling arbitrary.

Learning French well means internalizing patterns — when to use the subjunctive, how object pronouns rearrange in compound tenses, why certain prepositions follow certain verbs.

She's taught French from introductory through advanced levels and holds a 5.0 client rating.

Her engineering background also means she brings a systematic, logical approach to what can feel like an overwhelming amount of rules.

Learning French from Laura means learning from someone who didn't just study the language in a classroom — she lived it during an immersion semester in Toulouse and now pursues it as a full major at Washington University. She unpacks tricky grammar concepts like the subjunctive mood and pronoun placement by connecting them to how French speakers actually talk, making rules feel intuitive rather than arbitrary.

Learning French requires consistent practice and the willingness to make mistakes out loud — two things that are harder than they sound when self-consciousness takes over.

She emphasizes verb tenses, conversational fluency, and the listening comprehension skills that classroom instruction often rushes past.

From navigating gendered nouns to mastering the passé composé versus imparfait distinction, French is full of concepts that need more than rote memorization.

While French isn't Finley's primary academic focus, he has studied the language through multiple levels and brings the same structured, analytical approach he uses in his Harvard coursework to grammar rules, verb conjugations, and reading comprehension.

Learning French through all four levels gives Ariel a clear map of where students typically stall — whether it's gendered articles in the first year, passé composé versus imparfait in the second, or the subjunctive later on.

Her PhD work at Harvard, rooted in international and cross-cultural research, keeps her engaged with French-language scholarship and discourse.
