I finished my MA in May with a thesis on French fairy tales, but I also enjoy reading as much...

Since graduation, I have worked at a public school in Harlem as the College Counselor working...

...in Los Angeles, which I think has shaped much of my personality. I am currently a senior at GW studying Criminal Justice with a minor in International Affairs. On campus, I am a Peer Writing Consultant, and I've been a tutor for a DC organization working with students who fall behind in their school curriculums. I love interacting with people and watching students overcome subjects they struggle in and achieve breakthroughs. I consider my style...

...and fell in love with the people, their language, and their country. I lived and worked in such places as Aix-en-Provence, Bourges, Clermont-Ferrand, and Paris. My primary reasons for being in France, however, were to master the French language and complete my bachelors in 1986, my masters in 1994, and my doctorate in 2001. I have extensive knowledge of French culture and have achieved near-native fluency. My overriding goal when teaching French has always been...

...to my background in history and public policy, is US constitutional law.

...to learn, and especially speak, a foreign language. But not only did I learn French, in my last job I used French often to speak with foreign government officials and even briefly interpreted for a Member of Parliament. So no matter how frustrating you find learning French to be or preparing for a standardized test or learning math to be, I can assure you if I can do it, you can too!... One of my main...

...your passion and relating that passion to subjects you may not necessarily like at first. I find that students who are interested in the content of material are able to pick up high level skills very quickly, and are motivated to think about learning in their free time. For that reason, I target my tutoring to each individual student, trying to give examples the student can relate to, and assigning challenging work the student will...
